Around town....

Then another after dark walk... We saw these three HUGE raccoons climbing up into the tree- can you see their eyes??

Breaking in the kitchen...

Today we really started using the kitchen like we used to...





We made almond butter & tahini...

















Ira made hemp milk with molasses- with a strawberry on the rim.















Gluten free S'mores....






















Mama K's play clay... So so great. Gluten free and scented beautifully.




















































Geese at the park...


















Swinging...
we each had our own swing for a while, then the girls wanted to be pushed higher than they could go.. so jared pushed them- it reminded me of tennis for some reason


















ira was not wanting to go- but it was (clearly) getting too dark!

















bright moon for not being full...

















after some star gazing on the way home- we came home and downloaded a free app.

It shows the constellations in the night sky from where ever you are- and shows a global view- ira loved seeing how it was dark where we were- but not yet dark in alaska....

you can shrink the image as it rotates














or expand it....










the U.S. which incidentally- shone brighter than any other country....









then ira played super why-

The kids all played blocks together- this was so cool to watch.


Thenwe tested out our new crayon rocks...








Liv is the kitchen helper- she cracked all the eggs for lunch AND unloaded the dishwasher.

Exploring! And laundry;)

As we settle back in to our daily lives- everything is feeling easy, natural.

I asked Ira today if she would like to go to some homeschool groups, she said "not yet- home is so fun".

It makes me so happy that they can relax and be in charge of their days again!

Except for when they have to work. :)

These two are my little helpers. I usually have emers on my back, so I sort the laundry and they load and unload the machines.

They don't even HAVE to carry the supplies- they just love to... Sweet girls.










Miss independent unlocks doors now... My how they grow...













After laundry we went on a walk...

Liv really liked this sewer...













There were many puddles to be jumped in...













































Ira was telling me she thought she heard "tiny laughter... Like faeries"













She said it was coming from this tree....










Liv was soooo unsure if she thought she was excited or scared...












Then we were off again...
























Liv floating leaves...






The girls found some ants- and by some, I mean A LOT! We followed them for a bit- I asked where they thought they were headed and liv yelled "to find more FOOD!"
















We went home for lunch and the girls occupied emers while I cooked...









When Jared got home we had to run to the mall. The two littles fell asleep... But Ira and I got FROYO!
