Tiny Baby Grapes, Rocks, and a little Ingenuity

Look at these tiny grapes! They are called "Champagne Grapes" and I got them from Bountiful Baskets last Saturday. They're like the size of peas and came in a little package like berries come in - just a little bigger. They were all tightly bunched together, and actually, a little hard to eat, since they're so small.
(the picture pretty much represents actual size, so go ahead and put your fingers up to the screen and imagine plucking one of them off :).

But what a little novelty! :) We got to eat tiny baby grapes! They were so sweet!

And perfect for chicken salad! About the same size as my little celery dices.
Now - about the rocks.......
I'm annoyed because no matter what I tried, I couldn't get this picture to upload right side up!
Lauren is really into rocks lately. She picks them up everywhere she goes. They don't have to be cool or pretty or unique. Just rocks.
So one day, I decided to make a daddy rock, a mommy rock and a baby rock. I drew faces. But of course, it didn't stop there. Lauren wanted a turn with the marker. They got colored all over with black squiggly lines.
It kept us busy for a while.
Hmm........Rocks. Who knew.



Now this.......
It's always nice to have a little ingenuity around.
That's where Dave comes in.
He was working from home today and got sick of hunching over his computer.
(We're concerned about posture around here).
So he got up and went straight to the garage to create this 'laptop stand'.
It took him about 30 min.

Then back to work.
He's so amazing.
