Uno, Swimming and a Switcheroo

We rearranged the house again. I think we do it just about every 6 months to a year. Each time we get closer and closer to getting the TV out of our living room, but in a 1370 sq. ft. house it isn't easy! As luck would have it, on the exact day we were discussing a possible switcheroo, our neighbor brought us a tiny, little TV/VCR combo and it gave us the excuse we needed to ditch the 27 inch! Liberating is what it was. Now our little TV/VCR combo resides on(comically enough) a TV tray in the corner of our office with the DVD player on an old peach crate under it. The video shelf is between it and our roll-top desk and our piano is rightfully where it belongs in our living room next to our recently dusted record player. Let the living begin!

The kids will attend their first swimming lesson tomorrow morning. They are both less than enthused, but I think their first lesson will change their minds.

We played Uno until 10pm last night further proving that Juliet is unbeatable. We literally cannot remember when anyone else has won that game. Last night she sounded words out and practiced writing them in a book while playing. She would ask us to spell something and we would politely remind her that it was her turn, at which point she would pick up her hand, peruse it's content and lay a card down inevitably screwing up the next person's chance of getting ahead. Multi-tasking at the age of four. I am humbled by the genius of children.
