S~ Cantaloupe, saltine crackers, water
L~ Grilled Cheese, Progresso vegetable soup, Asian mix: broccoli, carrots, snap peas and tiny corn, milk

Brian got us a Betta fish last aka a Siamese Fighting Fish. Brian named him Blue.  I've always loved the flowing fins on this kind of fish.  We had an aquarium for a long time but it got to be too much for me- especially when Dave lost interest :-)  He was great at keeping the water right. So we've down-scaled :-)

The kids played at the sand table for most of the morning, interspersed with puzzles, having 5 books read to them (they really like the one about germs), puppets and dolls.

Blue- he is not as dark as this

And he is not as light as this

But he is beautiful

Everyone was very happy to see each other today! It is nice that everyone is here :-)
We got outside today and were out for almost an hour, we would have stayed longer but it was lunch time.
It was great to be out in the fresh air, and the kids loved the fresh snow- especially for eating!
