What We're Doing

I was up til 1:00 am reading The City and the City by China Mieville. After finally reading to the end and discovering who killed her, I was able to sleep.

No such closure for Tess. In the past week, she has read perhaps every book ever written by Cornelia Funke. She now has all of the Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordan to plow through as well as an entire new American Girl series that she just got for her birthday. There is no rest when you've just turned 10.

Speaking of Birthdays, Piper has one later this week. The kids cooked her breakfast and we gave her presents today. She wasn't too enthused by getting this book as one of her gifts. Can't figure why she didn't like this when she was such a big fan of the original book and the BBC adaptation. Women are truly a mystery to me.

Here is what Maddie is wearing all day today.
