Events of the Day

We had our first post-placement visit with our social worker today. It went well and the kids all behaved well (you want to look good for the social worker :) ). She needs to visit once more at about six months and we need to do oodles of paperwork and finalize the adoption in court and then we are done. I lack the motivation to do the paperwork, but I know it needs ot get done. It was so much easier to do the paperwork early in the adoption process when we knew it would get us our kids sooner. Now that they are here, I am not nearly as motivated to fill out a gazillion pieces of paper (twice since we have two kids).

Tonight was family night (every Friday night) and we played charades. I think Marcus thought we were a bunch of loonies (which isn't far off), but we did get him to act out 'horse', 'snake' and 'sew'. The sew one was hard as I don't think he has any idea what that word means. After charades we had kettle corn and some leftover cheese balls (leftover from New Year's Eve - GROSS!). I should have taken pictures of the charades; particularly Molly acting like 'water.'

Emily is sick today. We have had at least one child sick for about a week now and on most days two or three have been sick - nothing serious, just normal winter crud. Anyway, even though she isn't feeling well, Emily still takes a great picture!
