Take-out brought in with shiny placemats! Sooo many things to touch, it’s a good thing we were confined to the dining room with a closed door!

Frozen yogurt bars operate a little differently these days. But hey, if you’ve never been to one, you’d never know that you used to be able to scoop heaps of toppings on top! As parents, this works pretty well:)

I gotta give this girl credit. She’s always game for something new. This past weekend we added tap class(!) to her repertoire. And after soccer, she decided to slide down the climbing rope instead of the fire pole, because what else is there to do at the playground? We even had to have our stair railing reinforced to continue supporting her American Ninja Warrior training. I used to think we might wear her out, but are we conditioning her to never get tired?

The marble maze continues to amaze.

The Frozen obsession continues. All Elsa all the time to be specific. Meryl wears blue everything and is growing out her hair so that she can braid it like Elsa’s hair. Humorously, Grandpa proved to be the last person on the planet who hasn’t heard of Frozen…and when he asked Meryl to tell him what Anna and Elsa do in the movie, Holmes blurted out, “singing!” Yep, we can’t ‘Let It Go.’

I think everything fell on the floor and we could have made several batches otherwise. But! We made cookies. It’s a combat sport, obstacle course, and a stress test all wrapped into one bowl of chocolate chip happiness.
