Friday: raspberries
It was school material pick up day, and so the boys picked some raspberries to give to their teachers. (Not only is it a healthy gift, we have too many.) We saw Joshua's teacher and she did a lovely job of thanking him and even showing him the classroom. She also said that raspberries are her favorites, but her raspberry patch stopped around July. So I could see some more raspberries in her future.
We didn't see Isaac's teacher, but she recorded a lovely video thanking Isaac for the raspberries and the maze that he had drawn for her. He worked quite hard on the letter and maze and insisted on picking the raspberries himself, so the video was very much appreciated.

Thursday: book
I'm reading a book right now that has a spell book as a minor character. I don't think I've laughed out loud from reading a book this much in a long time. There is just something about this spell book that tickles my funny bone. The series is Mage Errant by John Bierce. I'm on book 4.
Spoiler ahead. (I tried making it disappear like a nice spoiler, but it didn't work easily. So I just put it far away.)
First, the book is found eating some coals because it wants to spit them out at children. It thinks this would make it into a dragon.
Later the book is found trying to become a parrot. The nearby parrots tolerate it.
It doesn't know how to apologize, so it keeps dumping slimy fish on someone.
