Leg day! Gotta get ready for skiing and snowboarding season!

Lummi’s first dog show! Reading about Amelia Bedelia in a dog show inspired Meryl to host one of her own. Unfortunately with the virus, friends and dogs couldn’t join us physically, but that didn’t stop Meryl from assembling a FaceTime audience! Xanna cheered and our neighbor Margot and her dog, Lucy, joined in the fun. We had lots of brushing and deciding on necklaces for Lummi to wear throughout the day. And, Meryl wore a hot dog sticker as the director of the show:)

Holmes LOVES roasted broccoli, but just the florets:) Vegetables, we’re in full support!

Happy Friday!

Meryl was brushing her hair tonight, but we couldn’t find her toy hand mirror so she could admire her great style. Not to worry as she then said, “Dada, we could use your phone!” Selfie view, you’re so useful!

Requested dance songs included Rihanna’s “Disturbia” (otherwise known as “Bom-Bom-Bee-Dom”) and Raffi’s “Bananaphone”…very a-peeling:)

The wind picked up this afternoon, so we stopped by the beach to see the waves at high tide after preschool. Yep, preschool is open and we are all thrilled! (And, it seems that we’ve still got some smoke moving through. Blow wind, blow!)

Back to the Union Bay Natural Area this morning!

Even though Holmes puts food he doesn’t like on Meryl’s plate when she’s not looking and takes food he prefers in return. He’s even leaned over to take a bite of a chicken drumstick (in her hand)…because, meat.

…For the Magic Bag of Vehicles. Only today, dear strategic Meryl wised up and ‘noticed’ that Frank and I hadn’t gotten to choose a vehicle (oh dear, indeed!) - so they ended up scoring two extra vehicles today:)

We’re learning how to make a lot of things these days…chocolate chips, crayons, chalk, puzzles, a broom, stuffies, cheese balls. You know, important intel.

Shower, shampoo, soap, lotion, comb, hair mousse, hair dryer, deodorant, gray shirt, and gray sweatpants…we had an afternoon of twinning! Hey, these days, we’re clean with clean clothes - so we dressed up!

Hi Baylie! Baylie and Zak stopped by with gourds from the pumpkin patch today:)
