Silent credit to Lummi, who for some reason loves to eat large bite sized clumps of grass and dirt all over the lawn.

Getting gas these days is an adventure, throw in a car wash and we’ve got a thrill of an afternoon! The kind of thrill that makes you want to cover your eyes but peak through your fingers kind of excitement:)

Good thing we have an ice scraper and snow brush. The things you discover while playing inside the car.

Still working towards two wheels. Not a bad view for the practice crew!

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.)
