Yesterday the Mayor took Boookie and Ela with him to a job site.  They were wonderful company for the 4 hour round trip.  Dinner and Playplace at McDonalds and then all participated in band practice on the drive back.  The Mayor was on vocals and the two in the back seat alternated on air drums and air guitar.

Burpees!

One of our favorite CrossFit movements is the burpee, demonstrated here with varying degrees of correctness by the three youngest residents.

We've been up to a few things...

In no particular order...

We've had first communion,

We've been flower girls,

 We've been eating lunch outside,

 We've been playing with umbrellas,

We've been doing some woodworking,

 

 We've been doing some training,

 

 

 We've been doing some handstands,

 And we've been doing some ink.

happy saint paddy's day!

here's to corned beef and detangler!

toddler diction

seimi's vocabulary grows daily.  he has begun to give direct orders, by name, to his two older siblings.  unfortunately, his pronunciation hasn't yet caught-up with his assertiveness.  he calls ela, "ella"; boookie he calls, "beakie."

naturally, ela is thrilled. 

 as is boookie.  meep.

the detonator

stuff's gonna 'splode!

baby got style

i may not always grasp her artistic vision...

and i may not always share her opinion that quidditch practice is black tie optional.... 

but one thing's for sure...

 i always admire her courage!

love you, princess!
