The big news around here is that Mom bought a new paper shredder. We had one a while back but it burned out. Mom has missed it ever since. Last weekend she got around to replacing it and the kids love it! There was much jostling to see who would be the first to put some paper in it. Fortunately for the kids we had accumulated a good pile of things to be shredded (which was part of Mom’s motivation) so they could have some real fun for once shredding our now longer needed paper with personal information on it. They filled up the box a couple of times at least. It’s good to know that our children (besides Charles) can still be entertained by things you can buy at an office supply store.
