Great post, I enjoyed reading it :)
Sounds like a great week!!
Spanish will be fun. I've enjoyed the kids studying for spanish tests and learning a little here and there... and on Sesame Street :)... but it would be great to know another language (or two!). Maybe someday.
Have another great week Kim!
Your simple pleasure, reading outside at the coffee shop, sounds really nice!
