11.23.11b 11.23.11 pm (Wednesday) - The rain stopped so we spent the afternoon at National Zoo with Auntie Laurie. We watched an orangutan play computer games, P kept asking "why do only the orangutans get to play that game? I want to play too." Then we came home and built with playshapes. The day made us all wish that Auntie Laurie didn't live so far away. 11.23.11a 11.23.11 am (Wednesday) - A rainy morning, so the kids built a fort under our patio table. Very occupy wall-streetesque. They even tried to make a blanket out a baby wipes. So industrious. 11.22.11 11.22.11 (Tuesday) - We built T's action figure a house, though it looked more like a jail. Funny how that works. 11.21.11a 11.21.11 (Monday) - It rained on Sunday night, but the morning was sunny and warm. A beautiful walk to school.

11.19.11a 11.19.11b 11.19.11 (Saturday) - Sibling relationships continue to elude me. They spent all morning fighting over the denim leggings. This is one of the few moments when they were actually getting along. Yes, this is them getting along. Confusing, huh? 11.18.11d 11.18.11 pm (Friday) - Spent the morning at the zoo with T, minus the camera. The lions enthralled both of us. Then blocks before nap. So much building to be done. 11.18.11b 11.18.11c 11.18.11 am (Friday) - A really cold morning, just a glimpse of the winter days to come. Even T wore a coat and hat while walking F to school, though he took both off during the walk home. F yelled at me "if you didn't take pictures all the time, we'd always be early." She's right of course. The problem with always running late is it forces your children to glamorize earliness. But why be early when there's so much to notice along the way?

11.17.11 11.17.11 (Thursday) - Picking F up from soccer practice. Crazy how early it gets dark now. The night seems to last forever. 11.16.11c 11.16.11b 11.16.11 (Wednesday) - Really rainy. We walked to school with one of the girls' friends. P and L decided to share one umbrella rather than carry separate ones.

11.15.11c 11.15.11b 11.15.11a 11.15.11 (Tuesday) - Sometimes they really do get along. Now I even have proof. All moments were spontaneous by the way, luckily I bring my camera (almost) everywhere. 11.14.11a 11.14.11b 11.14.11 (Monday) - Some mornings we're all on the same page. This wasn't one of those mornings. Notice that F wears a hat while P's shirt doesn't even have sleeves.
11.13.11a 11.13.11b 11.13.11c 11.13.11 (Sunday) - The problem with taking pictures of really cute babies is that you start to think about cute babies. But then you remember the nights. Oh the nights.
11.12.11c 11.12.11b 11.12.11a 11.12.11 (Saturday) - Photoshoot with the cutest family ever. Really.
