On Wednesday, we went to one of my favorites, Taco Bell.  I didn’t eat there that much in the past year, but I’m going to miss having the option of going there.

Finally, on the way to the airport on Thursday, we stopped at Pappasito’s.  We wanted our very last meal to be really good Mexican food.  We actually ate there on our way to the airport when we moved to The Netherlands in 2005.  It’s a great tradition!

We learned a while ago that Grace is highly motivated by either money or things bought for her.  This year in The Netherlands, she is missing out on multiplication.  So, if she memorizes her multiplication tables from 0 – 6, she can get a new Webkinz.  So far, she’s memorized through 5.  I think she already has in mind what she’s going to get.  If you don’t know what Webkinz is, don’t feel bad.  I didn’t know until we moved back here.  They’re stuffed animals that come with a code.  You can put that code into their website and play with your animals there too.  Ah, the marketing they do for kids.  Oh well, it’s helping a little girl learn her multiplication!
