SUNDAY FUNDAY!

ira the scientist....

she was working on some formulas and said, "i need to learn math- i want to be a real scientist" then she said- "mama- get me my math books."

she spent a little over an hour working through her math workbooks.



then decided she wanted to be a cheetah instead-




olive wanted to be a bear...








water color dinner.... they ate while painting.





ira painted mt vesuvius... obviously she is still thinking a lot about the book "Escape From Pompeii"

robots...



we made butterflies out of coffee filters they painted last week. There are so many butterflies around our apartment and the surrounding parks.





we then cut butterfly shapes from paintings we painted last week as well. this one ira cut herself and then strung two together with trash bag twist ties...


she added the change with glue- "to make it much shinier... money is sooo shiny"


we hung it on the blinds....

it was one of the warmest nights we have had since moving here- about 65 degrees- we took a walk to lull this fiercely active one to sleep. she was out after 5 minutes... but we kept walking...

cant really capture this at night- but this tree looked magnificent in the moonlight....

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-
