Day #4423 (Mon., Feb. 14, 2022) – Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! The kids are off school today and tomorrow for teacher’s work days.
We have been taking basketballs to the end of our street and using the basketball net that our neighbors have put up. Katie made quite a few baskets today (see photo to the left).
On the walk up I told the kids the story of Tom Sawyer, and how he was able to “trick” his friends into whitewashing a fence, and giving him a pocket knife in return. Bobby was curious why they would want a pocket knife. I told him that kids back in that day used to spend a lot of time outdoors and a pocket knife would come in handy to cut branches and “whittle”.
On the walk home Bobby told me that his favorite school lunch so far has been strawberry parfait. Why not… Looks like an ice cream sundae.
My wife has been readying clothes for the consignment sale this weekend.
