We cooked a lot this weekend!

Lola’s zucchini garden is prolific and Lorraine sent us a recipe for zucchini meatballs…so, aprons on! We also read that you can freeze shredded and drained zucchini to use later, and into the freezer it went! Note Meryl’s glasses - without lenses - to protect her eyes from the onions:)

We appear to have shredded more than zucchini this weekend.

Fun times with Tito! Or ‘To as Holmes calls him these days:) Holmes is trying to say lots of words and single syllables are his jam.

She turned two today, if only we could all turn time like Bunny. Really, we got these cute little fish-shaped soy sauce dispensers from our takeout this week and Meryl had to use them - the red and yellow capped ones made the orange cake (get it?) and the other ‘two’ served as candles (get it?).

Someone’s a big kid! Four year old doctor’s appointment today and Meryl got to wear a gown backwards, took a hearing test and got a few vaccines…hello bandaids! All good.

Elmo surfaced this evening and Holmes was so excited to see his ‘baby.’

When the prep is more fun than the grand event. Meryl made dinner, and neither kid ate any of it:) To quote our pediatrician, he’s never seen a kid voluntarily go hungry. We quote him often!

Meryl’s salon opened last night, but as I asked to book an appointment for myself, I found out that it’s only open on Tuesdays. So, until next week.

Yup, she said it. And it took forever. Lummi’s bowls too. And bedtime ended up being much later. And we are all in.

Back at it, this time throwing BIG rocks today.

Thanks, Molly, for our wedding present turned perfect play dough roller!

The visiting tent re-opened and we booked right away…Grandpa’s place also has the best driveway circle for riding all forms of wheels, which we of course brought. Gotta show off our skills!
