Rockport Vacation

My parents took us to Rockport for a week. Here are some photos:

   

Sam and Vivian made up a "rate the driver game" upon arrival. It kept them well occupied.

They noticed the speed sign well before I did.

Sunsets.

Reminder that all is not normal, the mask hook.

Just "act normal, smile regular" photo.

The Fan

There are often inexplicable things that happen in our house. When I ask who did it, no one knows.

Here is an example from when I was in a meeting this morning with my principal and assistant principal and the two other ESL teachers, I turned my head and spotted the osculating fan.

Painting the hall

I've been painting the hall lately, as it is covered with grubby handprints and marks. 

I was painting and Lanie asked me, "how it felt?"

We talked about how it was sticky and wet and not nice to touch. 

Next time I looked, I saw this: 

I was completely surprised for some reason and she immediately ran upstairs and hid. Vivian went up to tell her that I wasn't mad, just surprised and to help her wash her hand. She came back down to report that Lanie's hand was clean and that she had talked to her. For days I couldn't figure out where she had wiped her hand and eventually figured I'd find it at some point. Yesterday I was tidying up her room and found my glove in her toy basket. I looked at it wondering why it was so dusty and then realized it was covered in dried green paint. 

Mystery solved.
