Today I stapled A LOT of papers because it is really, really fun. My mom said she didn't care, so I did it.

Yesterday Gavin and I were excited to find the $2 book sale at Barnes and Noble. We bought a wonderful book with images of objects under an electron microscope. Gavin loves it. We also bought a book on how to draw sea creatures. Gavin spent the morning with his sketchbook and drew these wonderful pictures of a squid and an eel!
And...after spending six hours doing school I had finally sat down to do some of my own work. Suddenly I hear, "My snake broke!" The "snake" is a toy consisting of a rubber tube filled with water that is dyed blue. Gavin comes running down the hall and keeps on going through the apartment when I realize he is carrying the broken snake in his hand in a state of utter panic followed by a stream of blue water. I spent the next hour trying to scrub blue dye from the bedroom, hallway and living room carpet. But, the complete usurping six years ago of any kind of time that doesn't involve my favorite little person is of course more than worth it. And you have to love it when he tells you, "Mmmmm, mommy...you smell so good. Like spaghetti and candy!" He's the best.
