'twas the night/morning before [insert holiday here]
Hey kids,
I always seem to finish this kind of stuff way after midnight. I put together your easter baskets and got your eggs ready for the bunny to sneak in sometime tonight to do his thing.
I like this setting on the new camera, called Pinhole. It reminds me of a faded and poorly lit family portrait from the '70s. Like it should say "Olan Mills" in gold stamp down in the corner.
Anyway, this year you each get a present from the easter bunny: Jakob gets a space-age techno ant farm and Wavy gets a rainbow in her room.
I went to "It's Educational" school supplies store today. It's does a pretty bustling business due to all the homeschoolers in this particular area. I walk in the door, and everything seems to have your name on it, Jakob. I think, "He'd like that, and that, oh and he'd really like that. And that." You're obsessed with maps and geography and presidents and roadways and you're just so easy to shop for.
But Wavy, you're at that age where the only thing I can gather that you're obsessed with is ice cream and whining. And I can hardly buy you that for the various gift-giving holidays. I walked around the store, with an armload of stuff for Jake, but finally whittled it down to just the ant farm, but you... you took me forever. You enjoy flash cards and coloring books and paints, but I couldn't find something on par with Jake's gift, so I settled for the rainbow thingie.
Hope you guys like your stuff. We'll see.
In the baskets:
Shampoo
Bubbles
Tiny chocolate bunnies
Pez (Pooh for Wavy and Home Depot truck for Jake)
Inflatable globe for Jake
Hair scrunchies and lip balm for Wavy
Stapler and pens for Jake
Pens and watercolors for Wavy
Herbs for the window sill (Peppermint for Jake, lemon thyme for Wavy)
Okay, it's late and the easter bunny's got to get a couple hours sleep. Love you!
