A Room Full of Sunshine

The Kindergarten class was supposed to wear yellow today. When I picked Abby up, I asked her if everyone in her class was dressed in yellow. She said "Yes, it was a like a room full of sunshine". She's so sweet. Yesterday she came home with a "Happy Gram" from her teacher, Mrs. Thomas. She apparently answered a question during Mass yesterday, however when Mike and I asked her what the question was, or what her answer was, she couldn't remember :-) Later last night she said her answer had something to do with treating people with kindness, but that was all she could remember. Mike and I were just proud of her that she felt comfortable enough to speak up in front of everyone at Mass.
Lastly, Abby's latest obsession are the Narnia books. As many of you know, when she takes a hold of one book or movie, it gets to be all consuming for her. She wants to talk about the story, read the book, act it out, draw it out, write it out, etc etc etc. (remember her obsession with The Wizard of Oz? Chicken Little? Howl's Moving Castle? Charlotte's Web?) She typically identifies with one of the characters, in this case it's Lucy, and makes you play all the other parts. I've been reading the books to her any spare minute during the day, and poor Mike's been acting out the movies every night while I put the twins to bed. She can't get enough of the stories....there are seven books in the series, and we are only on book four, so this could go on awhile!


And below is the trouble Hannah and Griff can get into when I'm trying to have a phone conversation. They took an entire box of fish crackers and dumped them in the tub. They then proceeded to turn on the water, take off their shoes and socks, and pile in all the washclothes and bath toys they could find, presumably to take a fish bath. Their little feet were caked with wet, mushy fish when I picked them up out of the tub. They were quite proud of the little mess they made for me this morning :-)
