Holmes turns THREE this weekend!
Horseback riding
In the house, on the way to school, there’s always time for horseback riding!
More expertise
All this practice has unlocked yet another expert badge…or so we were told:)
Evening reading
Holmes got out alllll the books:)
Walla Walla wonderful
I had a great weekend away with girlfriends:) Such a treat. And thanks to FaceTime, I wasn’t far away from jump rope practice. (Even Lummi tried to wedge herself into view, she never lets us forget she arrived on the scene before the others.) Thank you, Lola, for preserving everyone’s sanity!
Bubble goggles
Holmes’ creation! Hey, whatever helps you swim, kid. Mind over matter. Imagination and innovation.
Expert badge unlocked
Meryl is teaching us all how to make origami dogs, because she is an ‘expert’ at knowing how to make them. Hey, go with what you know! Confidence.
The floor is lava
Last night we leveraged what might be the best use of holiday catalogs…creating a pathway across our hot, hot lava floor.
Tips and tricks
Tonight, we watched Floor Is Lava in prep for our next trek upstairs and this kid showed no fear of the heat.

Round two!
“Where’s my parking break?”
I’ll let you decide who is calling whom:)
Never enough marshmallows
No such thing as too many marshmallows.
Cream Puffs and stuff
Picked up Meryl early for a couple of outings with a cream puff from Le Fournil in tow. One day we went to a windy Gas Works Park and another day we did some escalator escapades at U-Village. Cheers to adventure in the mundane!
Girls Trip
Sarah went to Walla Walla for a much deserved girls trip, so we held things down while she was away (with much appreciated help from Lola). Thank you, FaceTime, for Meryl showing her lunchbox card and Diwali light to Mama. Happy Diwali to all who celebrate this Festival of Lights.
VOTE
Meryl ‘schooled’ us on how to vote:) She learned in school about voting (Piggie vs. Elephant, courtesy of Mo Willems), current issues (helping people who don’t have homes), and voting protocols (including your signature and date on the ballot). Thankfully, she offered her consulting all the way to the ballot box.
