We are really enjoying Troy's semester break! Yesterday he was able to join us on our weekly library trip, and due to warm weather, we added lunch at the lake. (It was at "my spot.")

Troy was Seth's "teacher" yesterday and part of today, which is freeing me up to ensure the completion of the painting and projects before December 31st.

It also frees me up for more one on one with Ethan which included another "castle" being built today. I spent extra time on it, and Ethan was thrilled with the results. As I was tapping the finishing touches, I "heard" a Playmobil man say (in a fake adult voice), "Let's go to the license plate place!" The poor boy (Ethan) probably thinks it is normal for people to make six trips to the BMV and turn it into a two week process! :-)
