When a bath is so what’s needed.

Holmes has another tooth! And, I don’t think I’ll ever get over how many sidewalk fruit trees are in our neighborhood. Can’t complain about these pre-dinner snacks!

Meryl’s haircutting salon opened after hours tonight just before bed. Complete with her haircutting necklace and box full of haircutting supplies, Frank was lucky to get a trim. Thankfully, Meryl used a comb to protect his ears too:) Five star review and a tip! (FYI also and well known in our parts. Eloise is six and has scissors in her room at The Plaza. So we’ve got - or bought - some time on this front.)

Homemade nachos and ice cream cake for dinner! Hot tip, thanks to Chrissy Teigan: Cool Ranch Doritos nachos. Our lives have been changed for the better. And if you give it a try, yours will too:)

Independence streak for them and for me! (Not really, but there are glimmers here and there.)

This girl. She turns four next week and it’s unbelievable what words come out of her mouth, and what doesn’t. Her standard response these days is, “yep.” We are, of course, of no influence:)

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Lummi:) Meryl’s haircutting salon opened this week, and she and her assistant, Holmes, extended their services to Lummi today. She could not be a more patient dog with these two. (Though, she’d love them more if they opened a restaurant just for her.)

Kohlrabi in our CSA box this week! And while ‘we’ enjoyed the slaw we made from it today, no amount of marketing this vegetable made it anywhere palatable for the kids. Day by day.

(And lounging low.)

Cereal milk!

We were recently reminded that moments from our house is a fantastic place with piles of dirt and rocks, and diggers and dump trucks. Even better, we can park out front to watch the scene and waive to the drivers! (They love this, of course.) We will be back, again and again.
