Chloe was playing with some cars and trucks yesterday and wanted me to play with her. She doesn't normally gravitate to those so I was a little surprised.
When I got down on the floor to play I was instructed to drive the "daddy truck", the big black one with the trailer attached, to the "house", a basket tipped on it's side. Then we proceeded to unload the "kids", the two little cars that were riding on the trailer.
You can take the girl TOYS from Chloe, but you can't take the girl from her!

What We Do To Our Sons...
Luke, March of 2008. 
Silas, December 2011At least Silas's fit him. Although I know I laughed so hard when I put Luke in that snowsuit. It was mine when I was little and I knew mom would want to see a picture of him in it.
Gingerbread Playdough
The kids and I made gingerbread playdough early in December. It is wonderful! Makes my house smell like Christmas every time they play with it. It's soft enough that they can squish it down to cut "cookies" out of. Luke would always pretend to make "gluten free cookies" for Chloe, Silas and me. Sweet kid!

little princes
Last night I finished the book Little Princes by Conor Grennan. It was wonderful! The cover says "One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal."
It's about a man who does a 3 month volunteer stint at an orphanage in Nepal before vacationing around the world for a year. While he's there he finds out that these children are not orphaned, but have been taken from their homes by a child trafficker and then dumped in the city's capital. The children's parents had paid this man huge sums of money to take their children and provide and educate them and mostly to keep them safe from the rebel army who is taking children as young as five for their army. Of course this trafficker does no such thing and takes the kids and the money and then dumps them. The author, Grennan, then decides to make it his mission to, if possible, reunite the children with their families.
Excellent read! I couldn't put it down!
