IRA ART!

I am loving all of her artwork lately. She gets into all the details, an really tries so hard to put down what's in her head.

Zebra



Monsters... She has been working on stars for a while...


This was delivered to me by a mail elf...

It "reads" after my bath, I'll be happy, but I'll be sad if I can't watch the iPad."


Then this was delivered- this one reads "I am happy because you gave me your iPad, thumbs up!"


When we went to the doctors office, Ira drew this for liv...


She asked me to draw with her for an hour or so while Emers napped. We drew all kinds of stuff, then I got called away by a crying toddler- Ira added hands and put an "evil step sister in a cage in the table"


Thinis the sign to her petting zoo.

Oakland Zoo!

We met up with the local unschooling group for a trip to the Oakland zoo.

Ira wore her zebra shirt....And liv wore flamingo shorts. They love the zoo.


Jared brought the 3D gopro....











When we came home, Emers wanted to sit and watch the ducks.

This is his favorite spot. He just sits and watches all the birds, butterflies and geese.....


While we were gone, daddy and the girls updated the fish tank...

Thursday!

Mama was having a HARD day!

These ladies and their kids made mama feel MUCH better!



Banana phone....


No one else wanted to go on our evening walk- so it was just Emers and I.


And his baby...











Ira drew me a spider and her web-


And made a person out of straws...

Midweek Lull...

We woke up feeling sleepy and lazy. Ira had a cough. We watched a few shows on the couch. Then there was-

Rocking the babydolls...


Emers really loves this doll.

Fixing her dress...


Then we baked gluten free dairy free blondies. So good.

Emers kept trying to steal the bowl...











Watched a documentary on the Sonoran desert.


Drawing our new goldfish...

We came home and put the fish in their new home- bad pic....



Watched a couple boat races...

Spring Cleaning!

Today I emptied out closets, I stripped conch covers, moved furniture, cleaned everything....


The kids kept me company in each room.

They made a farm & ranch in the bedroom-
Ira was the rancher. Liv and Emers were the cows....





Emers stole liv's shorts and managed to get them on all on his own....

His face his priceless-


Then they turned the bare living room into zhu zhu pet train station...





We refined some toys, cleaned up the fort.





Added our flamingos to the patio! Kids are in LOVE with gnomeo and Juliet. They insisted we get TWO so they weren't lonely.


Then... Soccer in the park!








Look at the flowers liv "found"!
