Torsten's HTML class is finally over!!! Yay!!! I know he learned a lot but the down side was he seemed to be chained to the computer all day, every day. Now I'll have a chance to use the computer to blog a bit more.
Some happenings around here:
Leif is really enjoying himself with our electronic gadgets lately. He adores talking on phones and listening to the ring tones. The kids gave him a phone the other day which, after he got finished playing with it, he decided to throw in the toilet. We walked in the bathroom to find him happily stirring the phone around with the toilet brush as if it were some delicious soup he was concocting. Amazingly enough, the phone dried out and works perfectly! It must be built tight like Taylor's MP3 player which went through the washer and dryer 6 times and survived! Then there was the Dell laptop that Leif danced a jig on. Unfortunately, it didn't hold up as well as the MP3 player and it may officially be dead (unless Joel can perform another soldering iron miracle like he has in the past). And that brings us to the Toshiba laptop which Leif pottied on when he was running around naked after his bath. It works except we have to plug an external keyboard into it. Yes, Leif has certainly added his own wonderful element of baby chaos to our life and it wouldn't be the same without his cute baby face around here.
Torsten, Hailey, Taylor and Heidi started their 6 week skiing program. They love, love, love it! Taylor logs on to Pomerelle's site everyday to see what the snow depth is at the top of the mountain and see what the weather is up there. He even checks Pomerelle's weather report all summer long. Hmmm....sounds to me like he has some Grandpa Pearson genes in him. :-)
When we get the latest pictures downloaded from the camera I'll share some photos of our India activity day, but for now I need to go sweep up the Grapenuts that Leif just spilled all over the floor.....

I'm starting to feel as if I'm stuck in a Christmas time warp around here! I haven't put away a single decoration yet, the Christmas tree is as green and healthy as ever, and just last night the little kids hung up more Christmas lights around the house! Reagan and Heidi were in the garage with me (that's my sewing room now) talking about whether Santa is real or not, while I was working on a project and listening to Christmas music (my "Christmas Cello" CD by Steven Sharp Nelson--it. is. so. beautiful. I'll probably end up listening to it all year!). I guess I was totally oblivious to the fact that they were digging in the Christmas boxes and pulling more stuff out!! AAaaaah!
This weekend I promise to break free of all these Christmas trappings. Otherwise before you know it, I'd find myself hanging Easter eggs from the tree and using the stockings for the Easter bunny candy......
