So I took this picture from my van this afternoon as we were sitting outside the boy’s school in between Levi’s morning preschool session and Carlos’ afternoon preschool session. We tend to spend a lot of time in the van during the week…basically we pick up Levi, pick up Alice, pick up Jefferson and Kristian and then drop off Carlos. They eat their lunch in the car and watch some sort of movie, no surprise it’s been Scooby Doo lately.

Today was the first day it’s been absolutely pouring down rain as we sat. The windows steamed up, the kids were a little more restless and all but what amazed me about where we live is that when I looked outside, there were all the “big” kids bundled up in their rain coats and out at recess as if it wasn’t raining at all. Along the same lines, Levi asked today if we could buy an umbrella…I told him that REAL Washingtonians didn’t use umbrellas (sage advice from another friend of ours)!
