Clown

Margot told me today that she wants to be in a circus. I can't argue with her horse back skills.

Overheard Conversation

This snippet perfectly sums up the kids' interests at the moment:

Rudy: You sound like Chewbacca.
Margot: Yeah. In a cool skirt.

Rudys birthday

FIVE years old. Can you believe it? Our gorgeous, wonderful boy.

Opening presents at 7am (with cream cheese on toast and orange juice, R's faves)

Lego at 7:30am!

Scooting at 9am (with new knee and elbow pads) - - "extra super duper uper fast" - -

Margot helped me mix green cream cheese frosting for the cupcakes for school

Rudy's lovely class room and his wonderful teacher Miss Laura.

Window sill

I found Margot sitting on the window sill with nothing nearby indicating how she had got there.

Me: wow. How did you get up there?

Margot: I used three foots and getted up.

Out of the box

A friend is taking over an empty store front and we went to celebrate with her in the space. The kids had a fun time running around and climbing in these wall cubbies. I couldn't resist the shots as they seemed to style themselves. My only regret was that didn't have a better camera with me.

If you click on a photo it will show you the whole shot. When you publish photos to the blog from an iPhone it only has one option for how the photos show. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it. Obviously I haven't quite got there yet.

Lovely lunch

I love chatting with Ru over a meal. He's so thoughtful and curious. Today he was so very interested in why I would joke about Margot washing our toothbrushes in the toilet!

My productive day

6 loads of laundry. Babysat a friend's kid so she could have a break. Played outside. Now I'm so tired I can't make supper!

Monochrome

On the walk to Rudy's school we pass these everyday and I never have a camera on hand to get a photo. Today I did, and have to share them with you.

A Little More Warmth...
