Too slow

I was just a bit too slow to stop the kids from pulling out ALL the envelopes today as we worked on thank you notes. And by the time I found which letters were finished and which needed to be signed by which children. . . some of them were mixed up. (thank yous for the wrong gifts!). And I didn't realize until too late that Owen had been sealing the envelopes of the "finished" letters I gave to him to put in the kitchen (I just wanted them removed from the chaos). I guess the latest (first!) pictures of Tate will have to go out in some other mail. And then, after I mentioned that we may need to tape a few of the envelopes shut (I was too late to supervise the licking and sticking and somehow it just didn't seem to work out right) . . . I was just a wee bit too slow in procuring the scotch tape.

So, grandma, this is why you'll be getting a letter held together with masking tape (love, Owen), with a stamp folded over the corner (love, Livia), and a picture of a flower with a yellow dot right in the center (love, Rhyle). And no picture (love, me).
