M’s Elevator
It works better on the downward trip, the duplo connection disconnects when trying to lift the box. Stairs are good for lego guys too I guess.

Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real
Pretty I love the tulips with the emerging peony stalks. Happy B successfully potted on his seedlings. K drew her first symbolically representational face – it’s a dinosaur with hair and a happy face. It took me 9 shots to Continue reading Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real
Pleased with the Bunny Trails
In the last month, we have had a sickness that took 2 weeks to leave us, and a vacation. The kids had more free time than usual, and I was pleased with how they chose to use it. B got Continue reading Pleased with the Bunny Trails

Soft Boiled Eggs AKA “Eggies in shell wi’ ‘poon!”
Sunday morning, three year old K tried very hard, with her vocabulary frustrating her, to tell me that she wanted a soft boiled egg. I’d never eaten one, let alone cooked one, but after tears, pantomime, and M translating I Continue reading Soft Boiled Eggs AKA “Eggies in shell wi’ ‘poon!”
Walk at Larson Purchase
M and K seem to run more when we go to the land trust path than on the playground. I was hoping to photograph the male wood duck we saw a week ago, but perhaps he’s busy now – I Continue reading Walk at Larson Purchase
Homeschool planning process
I have 15 weeks left in this school year – because we school year round. Last Summer when I broke the year up into rough sixths, I kind of skimped on the time at the end. I think because it’s Continue reading Homeschool planning process
