Monday!

What a great day!

Ira challenged liv to a game while I may lunch.






Emers loooooves bubbles....






There was painting....






Ira read me a couple books. There is nothin cooler than your baby reading to you. I mean, the baby that's about to turn 6!






We walked to the park when Jared got home...

Emers and his love of flowers.... Flowers and ducks. Those are the two thugs that he gets the most excited about. As we walk along the water he makes this quacking noise. So cute...




















Liv the spinning ballerina....






Park...



























I think they love each other...













Then we came home and Ira worked 5 pages of "explode the code". She is really amped up to learn to read to play scrabble with me on the iPad. Or words with friends with her aunt in Vegas.

Pirates Ahoy!

Emers the "train track destroyer"



Liv all smiles...



This is how snow deprived California children pretend to go sledding.







Then they built the most colorfully delightful pirate ship I have ever seen. Complete with a sunflower helm.







Requesting permission to come aboard.







They played hard all day.... This was the scene at 4:30 pm....

Busy Thursday!

Ira worked over 10 pages in her kindergarten math book and a few pages in a phonics book.

Then they all got to painting...

Gnomes and mushrooms....








Not creepy one bit......





Emers painted with watercolors...





Then we had a dance party!











Then steamed vanilla honey milk...





Ira took a sip of my rooibos chai with the steamed milk and declared "we are sharing THAT!" and then labelled it!
