Maps and Glue

If you know us well (or even a little bit), you know that Iain loves maps and that we have HUNDREDS of them.

Today, we checked the mail and there was a thin package in the mailbox. We opened it, and inside was a new, slick-sided map. Audrey piped up immediately, "maybe the man didn't know we already HAVE lots of maps." Priceless. (In his defense, it was for one of his classes, so I guess that's legit.)

Separately, this afternoon, we were doing art and using glue (our bottle was approximately 2/3 full). So I know all kids love glue, but after we finished our snowmen, I made the mistake of leaving the art supplies out while I went to measure the water and rice for dinner. When I came back -- literally, less than 2 minutes later -- Avery had managed to squeeze the entire glue bottle -- the entire glue bottle -- onto her piece of paper. But she was having a good time, and I guess that's the point. =)
