Big Amaryllis




Lately all of the Amaryllis' about the house have been blooming. Last year they were on the floor by the windows and very few actually produced a flower. Not for lack of trying - it's just that every time a bud started to open a kiddo would make a grab for it and break it off. This year we put the amaryllis' on tables by the window and so far no broken stalks. It's amazing how tall they get - this one is as tall as Nora!

The kiddos have been playing well together. As I type, it is mid afternoon and they are playing kitchen with all the cooking utensils scattered about on the floor. Minimal need for supervision - I love it! I only jump when I here screaming.

In the other photos: Nora and Stu do some reading. They take this very seriously. And draw on their new chalk board (bottom). The chalk board saves paper and is pretty easy to clean up. They love it, but it does need to be closely supervised. last night I did not supervise very well and Stuie drew all over the walls of the house. Zoya was not impressed. Patrick
