Hazel moved the characters; Landry clicked the pictures

Lying down while playing (while sick but hopefully finally on the mend after six days of this insanity)

Hazel has huge ideas for Duplo stop motion animation

Fierce slipper battle from block encampment

Off to school we go!

For a field trip to the Seattle Aquarium!

Picnic lunch was fun

But the school bus ride was the very best part

Mr. Stomach Bug stayed home with Supey

They painted (on and off the intended paper)

In the afternoon we were all back together again

Landry often scares the kitties (generally though not always by accident) but today he and Buttercup were in the zone!

Hazel earned a “Sasquatch Scarf” and certificate at school today in recognition a year of great reading

Happily succeeding at noodle-assisted treading

I forgot to post this one yesterday: Our caterpillars have turned to chrysalides and we were able to move them into the butterfly habitat

Light up sneakers times two

Landry is 4 today! (Wearing new sneaks!)

We had fun with bubbles

We painted rocks

It was a top notch family project!

But there was also a lot of this

And this

And this

Because this guy is sick

Poor bub (sleeping with a rock!)

Good thing we started the party yesterday with early candles and singing

Because turns out it was not going to happen today

This did happen today, meow meow

Evening addendum: after a long nap the birthday boy had a bit of bounce back in him!

We started at our community parade on Landry’s last day of being 3

Hazel quite enjoyed the closed street

Bike course creation

Bikers ready

Arno helped us trim a limb with his very tall extend-o-saw!

Landry built city; the city had traffic

Saying “traffic.” Steri-strips are gone!

Fake smile with real picture from reading group

Moss, ferns, sticks and all that jazz

Hazel’s class hosted a publishing party today. Hazel read to all of the students and parents about wanting to be a paleontologist when she grows up

There was also time for her to read to Landry and me from her journal

Her pudding stance is so symmetrical

Less symmetrical. Still so cute

There was a lot of cooperative play today
