Ellery decided she was going to hang a few things on her wall.
We have these rolls of painter’s tape that we let the kids use, as it doesn’t damage the drywall. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her gather a roll of black tape and a pair of scissors. She trotted off with some paper tucked under her arm.
About ten minutes later, Tom wandered into the kitchen chuckling and said, “I think I found your photo of the day.”

A few weeks ago we finally got the call. After much deliberation, Neko selected the Playmobil dinosaur collection. (Which made this Playmobil junkie quite proud.)
