When I realized that it was QUIET and everyone was entertaining themselves, I went to investigate with my camera in hand. This is what I found.
It looks like THIS outside...
This is what it looks like inside...
Elijah is typing a story on the kids' computer
Leah is creating a 'dinner party' by emptying out the drawer of plastic ware.
Hannah is playing with her Littlest Petshop animals.
Pete is grading tests (in his pajamas at 3pm...
I made these cute little bags for the kids' Valentines present. They are filled with candy, of course. I also made some for my Sunday School class (all girls). I think they turned out really cute!! I know my kids love to have little bags to keep their treasures in, so I'm sure they'll be well received. Oh, and no, Elijah won't mind that his is pink and flowery, at least not yet. Having two sisters he's used to all things girly.
These go back to November... so there are quite a few pictures.

SNACK!!
The 45 layout (I believe this is the first time he completed it by himself)
cutting wooden sushi from the bento box
sewing (it's like a 3D sewing card)

he loves using that laser pointer for the 45 layout!
once again with the 45 layout... it's quite an impressive work for a 4 year old and he certain is proud of his accomplishment!
