The camera is still missing. I am going bonkers without it. I'm about to go out to get a new one. We did so many fun things today. I got home from work a few minutes early and we took a walk around the block, ended up hunting for signs of spring. We found some sedum coming up, a few tulip leaves poking out of the dirt, and lots of slim branches sending shoots out.  As it got cooler out we pulled the cars out of the garage, shut the doors and had an indoor bike rink/basketball court/chalking surface. Kids ran in and out of the garage while I was fixing dinner-it was kinda like the backyard. Stella and I started reading the Felicity (American Girl) series since she is starting to study the colonial period in school. The book we read last night suggested an embroidery craft so Stella started it today. She's working on a blue heart in a basic running stitch, and she's already discovered how relaxing it is. The other three kids tried their hands at it as well. My fantasy! all of us sitting around embroidering together! Stella's snaggle tooth finally fell out last night and then she woke up this morning with a bottom tooth loose and it too was out by bedtime. She looks so cute.  Zeke has put in an order for a homemade Robin costume and Stella wants a t-shirt with a tooth applique to wear to school.
