Out

It was warmer today, 37F. After school we met Rebecca and Elliot and other friends, watched a concrete truck pour piers, and played in the park.

Castle complex

This apartment came with a small folding castle, and when added to our large folding castle it makes a mega castle. Zack says, "I am the king of the castle!" He has also been very interested in two castle books we have, one about a medieval feast by Aliki, and one about a knight and a dragon who start a restaurant together, by Tomie de Paola.

Snow!

And it was 27F and no wind which is SO much warmer than a windy 9F, which is how cold it has been getting to school these last few days.

Trains

There is a complex story going on here that involves a different personality for each engine and for some of the cars.

We are happy with our new bigger apartment, despite the fact that we can hear the upstairs neighbors.
