Tinkering








We've been rattling around the house for Spring Break. It's mostly been ok but you know there have been some sibling squabbles. One morning the kids were fighting and I separated them. Brixton went off and asked for a piece of paper. I found him writing a letter to Santa that says "I hope I am on the good list." The fighting was driving me nuts but at least that letter is really sweet. 

We also took the kids to Goodwill and let them pick out $5 electronics which they then took apart. It's very important to Chris that they be allowed to tinker, and see how things work. It is fun for them to see what's inside these old machines and think about how they are made. And it's a good use of an afternoon.
