Wednesday!

Liv has been potty learning all on her own! Ever since we checked in here she insists on using the potty! What lovely timing! Traveling cross country with two kids in diapers full time could be cumbersome!

She even looks older to me-


Ira spent the morning putting on a shadow puppet show...that she set up ALL on her OWN!





Ira made her pen pal a birthday card they are only a month and a half apart in age. Ira LOVES having a pen pal.





Ira using her favourite simple machine to invent a paper throw away system.








And the boy is starting to crawl! He gets up on hands and knees then takes a header. He can army crawl like it's nobody's business though! Fast! We can barely keep him in one place.








I even got a magazine half read! Life with three is starting to normalize... Or maybe it's just because we are staying at a villa that doesn't require fixing, painting or scrubbing. Plus the dactthat each kid only has a backpak full of toys and not a whole room full!

Who cares?! It's feeling good!

Today in one picture

That's soup, made by Ira. She soaked crepe paper in water and squeezed out the pigment.

It was today's first of many experiments.

She made a soufflé with the leftove paper



Then she crushed the stymen of our centerpiece lillies to sprinkle over it

She is off watching a documentary about people searching for Noahs ark
