Pickleball
Avery calls this “pickleball.” It’s too cute to correct.

Kid funnies, anniversary version
Sam, today, peeking down my shirt (just before I told him how rude that is): “Why don’t I have those huge things?”
(I wonder if he knows what “huge” means…)
Avery, pitching a fit over having to use the “big” potty instead of her little potty seat: “You have to send the big potty back to the potty store!”

Flat Stanley
There’s a book about Flat Stanley, who gets flattened and mailed (and eventually returned to 3-D you’ll be glad to hear.) In honor of Flat Stanley, the kids all made their own and we mailed ours to California, where my writer friend Katie lives. She mailed Stanley back with a postcard, stickers, a letter about California, and this snazzy tuxedo she made for him.
