Cantaloupe Boats


I was cutting up a cantaloupe and Gretsie just had to keep these cute little boats.  She lined them all up and drove them around on the counter and then stacked them melon side down, upon her shoulders

(well technically, she is still three for 5 more days) Poor girl, it has been draining & bleeding for 6 days.  We finally had to hook her up like this:

I could read about your 'quirky' kids all day long. That stinks about Gretchen though - hopefully she gets better soon!
