Yesterday was our first ‘Kids Choice Day.’ You guessed it, the kids heard “yes” to most everything:) Treats for breakfast, a trip to the zoo to ride the carousel, one meltdown, mac-n-cheese and hot dogs for lunch, all four of us napped, more treats for a snack, wheels mania at the playground, pizza for dinner, and a movie to finish the day.

Or as Meryl calls it, “horseback riding practice.”

Bikes, scooters, and going fast…plus a balance bike lesson from Meryl to Holmes, who desperately wants to ride a bike:) It wasn’t that long ago when she was in the same position!

We biked to Bainbridge Island for lunch with friends today for a last day of summer moment before Meryl and her friend start FIRST GRADE!

Got any recipe ideas for shredded carrots? Because we have a lot of them. Holmes started shredding and then had to keep going to hone his skill. We weren’t going to stop his hustle.

So many questions! It’s great!
