Let There Be Blinds and Other Happenings

     We finally have blinds!  Our house faces west, and has gotten really sunny and hot.  We have been really tired of it.  Now in our great room we have some shades that block out the sun, but also let us see our view still. In the bedrooms we have some much needed blackout blinds that we are hoping will ensure that the girls sleep in more often.

     Avery set up her own little work station today.  She pulled one of her tiny chairs up to a set of plastic drawers on which she set her laptop and telephone.  Then she worked there for a good twenty minutes.  In other Harper news, she has given up entirely on her little high chair.  We didn't have anything fancy.  It was just a little seat with a tray strapped to a normal chair, but now she is refusing to sit in it anymore.  Instead she kneels on a regular sized chair to eat dinner with us.

Our easy bake oven room is gone with these bad boys up now.  

We don't have to wear sunglasses when the sun is setting!

Avery happy to be at her little desk.

She's got a lot of email to answer.

I think it would be tiring to kneel through an entire meal, but she would rather do that then sit in her booster seat at the end of the table.
