I may be biased, but I think that we got the best costume for the recital. The group before us had lots of day-glo on their four year olds.
Anyway, it was picture day. I didn't use "enough" bobby pins or hairspray (that is, none) but it was fine. And I didn't have to wash her hair six times afterward.
The beautiful salt marsh with the . . . . nuclear power plant behind.
Field trip with the big boy. Blurry shot of him holding a horseshoe crab.
Spent the evening in New Jersey so we wandered out to Liberty State Park. Very cool spot.
Went to Mount Vernon, so of course the boy made a lego Geoge Wonsingtin, Mount Vernon Verginya.
Late lunch in Georgetown after a day of touristing. Dinner will be fruit in the hotel followed by cinnamon buns and cabinet perusal at Ikea.
Stopped by an excellent little Frank Lloyd Wright house today to do some traffic avoidance. Very fun when we're designing our own at the moment.
Yup, pretty sure we're buying some land and building fresh. Woot!
This morning we drove to Wells Maine to a homemade doughnut place. It was so mobbed though that we got our dozen to go and planned a picnic at the lighthouse. Needless to say, we were stuffed to the gills by that point with sugar and fat so this was just the fresh air break.
I like that he's old enough to sit with us at the dinner table now. Even if he's only having rice rusk and water. He was loving the sippy cup.
The kids got these tiny little seed kits in their easter baskets. We set them up one week ago today and look! Tomatoes!
Went for a little walk at this great new to us and only about 2 miles away park. Forts, playground, beach, bathrooms, and excellent science center (which we didn't fully check out but will during vacation week maybe on a rainy day - it was way too nice to be inside!).
The boy set up his homework desk at the rental today. Right next to Daddy's desk, which is a big hit for all involved.
It hit 85 here today. What a day to be across the street from a dog-friendly beach. She was a nut in the surf.
The house was officially sold today. Celebratory dinner at Petey's seafood. Onion rings!!!
I went and got some rice rusks today. I don't really do rice cereal but these are fun. They were a hit.
This afternoon I had some chocolate dairy queen and that was a *huge* hit. He was lunging for the cone. It was not neat.
The bubble wands are the big hit of the easter baskets. The baby *loved* watching his brother and sister play with them.
I'm finally back with a real non-phone internet connection, so I will be posting the pictures from the last week soon. I took them, just haven't uploaded and blogged them.
Crazy surfers at the beach. Yes, I was driving when I took this. But at least it's a crappy picture, so you can see I prioritized the safety. And no kids were in the car.
The kids school has this event (annual? perhaps twice a year) where they have stories in jammies, eat popcorn, it's lovely. And it always reassures me that my kids aren't the worst behaved ones out there.
By six months, all of my kids have loved the bath. This one is no exception. I had to take him out when it was getting cold - but he wasn't complaining.
The kids played outside almost all day and were at my sister in law's snacking and so at 8 pm, we had scrambled eggs. They had tons of fruits and starches so it shouldn't surprise me that all they wanted was protein.
Two weeks from today we have to be out of this place. This is the pile of stuff I semi sorted through today, all of my archi-materials.
Anyone want a t-square? Or three?
Today we finally got out and went to the park. The kids had a "tennis lesson". The quotes are because, well, they're kids.
I'm not feeling great, daddy's working late, and we're cleaning out the freezer. Tater tots and veggie burgers it is!
Cereal for momma, as there were only two servings left.
The final project at this house, hopefully. We have to install a radon mitigation system, which involves crawling around in dust and drilling a hole through brick, creating that red dust all over the husband. The kids crawled into the crawlspace and the big boy even accidentally touched a mummified mouse. I'm glad they have such a rich childhood.
We gave him a little bit of pears tonight. The kids have been dying to try him on real people food and at 5+ months I was okay with this. He was not impressed.
