Exciting day for M! She got to meet her favorite author, Wendy Mass, after school at Child's Play. Daddy left work early to take her to see Wendy, who is  a college classmate of his. M got three books signed, including her favorite of all time – Candymakers, and heard Wendy talk about her new book. Daddy took photos, which I will post tomorrow night.

The girls had to make coats of arms for their state fair project. They had to pick four historic events from their state and write 3-5 sentences about each one and draw a picture of the event in a coat of arms for that state. A did: Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Maine Tea Party, Maine Becomes a State, and Shipbuilding in World War II. M did: Paleo Indians in West Virginia, John Brown and Harpers Ferry, West Virigina Becomes A State, and the Coal Industry in the Late 1800s. The coats of arms look great.

We got two extremely cute videos of N from tonight. In the first, he refuses to eat vegetables, and in the second, he imitates the girls. Here is the first – I will upload the second one tomorrow.
