It's 6:30 a.m. and Jake just got me out of bed to play with his new airplane. My fault I guess for buying it... I'm home since about 8 a.m. yesterday, and I went to work yesterday afternoon. I can't shake that slightly dazed feeling and I'm looking forward to the weekend for more rest & relaxation.
I took some pictures in Bella's schoolyard. She gets amazingly filthy when she plays, which I take to be a good sign. Susan laughed and said she was the same at Bella's age.
Jake's 3rd birthday is Sunday and we've rented a place called "The Barnyard" which is one of the kids' favorite hangouts. It'll be fun, but again no catching up on sleep.
I'm weak and bought the kids lots of presents during my trip. I've hidden most of them away for Christmas. Each time I go back to the U.S., I pick up a few small things, so I have quite the stock now :)
