“My arms are bored”

We added a medicine ball to our living room home gym, and every once and a while Meryl will tell us that she wants to pick it up to strengthen her arms…because they’re bored:)

Chanterelle toast

Our neighbor and friend, Kim, has a cooking series on YouTube and she made chanterelle toast in her latest episode. We watched with Meryl, who then wanted to make it for dinner. So we did! She cleaned and prepped the mushrooms, added them to the pan, stirred, and when ready added the cream and salt and pepper. She finished by adding some parsley and topping the lot on some toast. Our little chef!

Director’s cut

We all had to see the aftermath of the windstorm in Anchorage (bummer!), but what was even more sensational was Meryl directing Xanna to build structures out of blocks and play with toys at her house! Dinner and a show:)

Block flock

Happy Halloween! Our block cleared the street for sidewalk trick-or-treating this evening. Gosh it was nice to see everyone, and on a perfect sunny fall day too!

Winner
