So THAT'S what they're for!

I was tired of the horrible noise that my dining chairs made when sliding across the floor, and the marks they left behind on my beautiful, stained, peeling, truly horrendous vinyl flooring, so I decided to finally go and pick up some of those little felt circles to put on the bottoms of the chair legs (would those be chair feet?). Emma and Katherine decided to pitch in and help with sticking them on, and I noticed after we flipped the first chair upright and tried it out that Katherine seemed to be noticeably more enthusiastic about putting them on the rest of the chairs. And then she told me why she was so enthusiastic: "Now we can sneak into things quietly!" Hmmm. I'm rethinking the little felt circles.

AKA Geode

While we were in the minerals area of the Natural History Museum, Sariah and Emma would occasionally read the labels of the different minerals and such to Katherine. After a few labels, she started making up her own names for the minerals. I wish I could remember more of them, but the one that I thought was funny was her name for the enormous geode that they had on display. After examining it, she matter-of-factly informed us that it was called "The Mystery of the Rock".
