Mark has been making all kinds of interesting connections and observations. We got new learning placemats. One has US presidents on it. Another has a map of the world.  The other day he was looking at my presidents placemat, and he asked me why they showed a house on the placemat. I said that’s the White House where the presidents live. It’s in the capital of the US. He said, “ah if the White House is in the capital, then the White House must be here where this star in the US is.” And he pointed to DC on the map. Neat!

Then, talking about Despicable Me, he said, “it’s called De-SPEAK-able Me because the minions speak a lot.” Haha!

Mark got an internet gift card. He said he’s going to use it to buy 100 more internet gift cards. Muahahaha.

Hmm. I am still writing 2019 by accident. Time to get with the program! Had a great week. Mark and I went ice skating and sledding. We met up with Tom for lunch in the city. Then Mark and I went to our first hockey game. It was a lot of fun! Then Mark went to a ninja birthday party. Otherwise, we mostly hung out and tried to walk around the block a few times.

Big snowstorm out here last night. Enjoying some down time with the kiddos. Mark and I watched toy story 3! That is a sad movie to watch if you have a son who is really attached to his stuffie. No spoilers!
