Day 7

Dear Steve,


People keep asking how you're doing, and the next question is always how am I doing?  Right now?  I'm doing okay.  You've only been gone a week so really, on our end, it doesn't feel much different than an average business trip.  I don't think it is really going to sink in for a few more weeks.


I've been keeping us all busy, all go go go, so we don't think too much about how much we miss you.  We sent you a care package today.  If it wasn't that grumpy lady at the mail counter I would have taken a picture, but she was annoyed that I didn't seem to know how to send a package to someone at a military base on the other side of the world.....silly me.


I've been trying to come up with fun things to do with the kids and today  I made colored rice for them to play with in tubs inside...think sandbox with less, well, sand.

Rice drying in the sun

I used the neon food colorings....so vibrant!


They couldn't wait to get started


She had more on the sheet than in the tub at the end but they had a blast!!
So anyway, this is how we spend our afternoon. A little rice, some rubbing alcohol and a bit of food coloring and your kids had a cheap indoor sandbox lol.




With love from across the globe,
