Sunday in the City...

We started at the ferry terminal...







Then the Golden Gate Bridge...















Then we did lunch at Beautifull which was amazing!

The kids were exhausted after such a busy weekend!

Liv Turns Three!!!!

What an amazing child we have... Liv is so sweet, so kind, so silly- she melts our hearts. She is the first to split her food to share, or rub someones back if they are hurt... She is also Strong willed and feisty, full of humor and perfect comedic timing.....

I am the luckiest woman in the world to parent these kids-

Liv requested a butterfly themed party-

We made two butterfly cakes...







Ira and I made her a special birthday girl wand....



Ira made her a butterfly card...



And painted her a mask....



Liv got a new dress and "glass slippers"....











The piñata- almost impossible to break...
















We had a butterfly craft station...




And a lot of mess....I mean... FUN!

Friday!

We went to the park and met new friends! It was sunny and warm and I forgot my phone in the car. Not used to having a car during the day!!!

Car wash!


Olive and Cedric fell asleep...Ira pretended to be scared...


Then we went to the craft store!!!!!

Faerie house and centaur!


Stickers to add to their collection!


Emers has a new "thing". To be super silly he flops to the ground and laughs and rolls around.








Water guns!

















Heart shaped sidewalk chalk!





Painting....





Snacking...


Purple yogurt! Ira always complains that she can't have colored sugar sweetened yogurt. I bought some food dyes that are made from food an spices and we sweetened our Greek yogurt with honey.

This girl was in heaven. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!





Ira has also been learning to read. So now liv is wanting to.... Liv and I worked on these words...


And ira read me this book! It's so cool to have my child read ME books!


She worked 5 pages in "explode the code".


I was holding off on teaching her to read because I am a waldorf leaning person. I believe academics should wait until the child is ready. Ira started getting her 6 year molars and then lost her front teeth and them BOOM- she demands to be taught to read. So I guess she I ready!

Regardless. It's cool. Watching it all click is fun.
