Devora, Mommy Allison and Francesca Margot

After Dinner with visiting friend Devora!

Great play area.... Food: mixed.

When I got home yesterday, I found this...

A beautiful note and this balloon, especially for me from Francesca and which is the first thing that Francesca ever bought with her own money. One dollar: well spent! Heart: melted!!

Allison is getting tested for all kinds of allergies!

Yay for prick tests!

Wheeeee!!!

Oh yeah, we are having fun!

At Buckman during a sun break

Blaize loved this skirt...

Spinning was the operative word here

This was an elaborate 10 minutes or so

Tiny dancers

And scene.

So strange, he doesn't seem to want me touch his eye.

Oh yes, it is I, Blaize, who holds this bunny.

They were a little wily...

Gotcha

And then...

The sun came out and we went across the street to the swap shop, where....

There were baby bunnies!!!!

Exhibit B, well, F in this case.

Francesca is seriously skilled in the climbing area

Could he be more handsome? I ask you.

Seriously.

After quick trip to retrieve needed jackets...

Sunnyside park after gymnastics!

Big climber

Waiting for gymnastics to begin at 11.

Big girl class. Yes, I am rocking the glasses again.

Some excellent puzzling before leaving the house

Saturday/Mommy Day!

F spins B = good time

Friday after work visit with Jack and Sarah!

(Jack was very patient as F and B took over his space.)

And Roxy and Kari popped by for a quick hello!

Later, puddles were jumped in, and shoes were removed...

More of same

Some great climbing to be had...

Climbing at the park during a sun break!

Oh yeah, I did that.

Francesca the Puzzler Conquerer strikes again!

Babes in bathland

And, introducing... LIGHT UP SHOES for BLAIZE!!!

Thanks GrM!!

Francesca's new Dora shoes!

Financed with JC Penny returns from Grammy Marsha! Thanks GrM!

And this is the noodle we used as a bat!

Blaize and Mommy played at the Children's Gym

And this is the green balloon we played baseball with.

Two red tulips, close up.

Tulip Ocean With Curly Haired Sweetie

Goodbye sweet tulips!

It started to rain

And an alarm went off, we are pretty sure we tripped it. This is the end of our short trip.

So many tulips!

Tulips! At the wooden shoe tulip farm

We spent almost 90 min in the car, an extra 30 min of Friday traffic and arrived 10 min after they closed. We parked illegally, went in and reveled in the tulips for upwards of 7 minutes.

Look what Francesca made for me! So creative!

Daddy, Francesca and Blaize just picked me up from work and we are going to go see a tulip farm in Woodburn! Note the A on the paper, for Allison, and the small F in the lower left corner for Francesca. She got no help for any of it from Daddy, not even the tape. 100% Francesca crafted.

Second try: Delicate things

Francesca is SERIOUS about her weed whacking.

Tonight, at the Frost Trahan's...

Her technique is really excellent

Francesca embraced the vacuuming project

She is getting really skilled!
