the first of many

Watch out, world!

you + me

 My boy made me some 'you + me hearts' for the kitchen window.

 And little A is the happiest thing you've ever seen outside.

week in review

A hydrangea headpiece (it's no laurel crown, but we were on the hammock talking about viaducts, so it seemed appropriate)

mini field day

three sevens

S:  How many is three 7s, Mommy?
A: Think about it.  Tell me what you decide.
S:  Well...7 is 3 and 4.  So two 4s is eight, and two 3s is six.  That's 14.  With one more 4, that's 18.  And one more three is...21.

Is this really how I did math before I memorized the multiplication tables?!  Surely not.  Our boy has an orderly mind.  It's fun to hear it in action.

birthday boy

Donuts for breakfast.

 Japanese for dinner.  We went to the Domo Restaurant.  You should try it, pretty great.

 Pie for dessert.  I think he had a pretty sweet day!

the intrepid gardener

Started out so clean

Then it was straight to work

A little thirsty.  How he managed to keep one shoe on all morning, I have no idea.  

Nearly summer.
