Surrounded by friends, human and otherwise
We cleared out of the kitchen for a while
And managed to stay busy
Making homemade space rangers, among other creations
Best buddies
Everybody sing: “All the little fish are swimming in the water…”
There were hundreds of car races at least
Look at that face
Momentous Thanksgivikkuh! First time in 96 years, last time for another 57
Hazel turns the dryer door into a gate
And brings laundry through the gate and to the dryer for me
Closing up shop
The ultimate reward: getting to sit on top while pressing the button!
First night of Hanukkah! Hazel wanted to know where the cake was and also if we could blow out the candles.
Hazel likes to get close to the stereo, up on a chair
To dance
Especially if it’s playing the soundtrack from Cars
Every day Hazel invents new ways for Lightning to get into trouble
Foreground Sally
Background Hazel (Both times I was being instructed to take a picture of Sally, of course)
Cozying up to an egg beater rocket ship statue at today’s art open studio. (The rocket ship artist and his studio were surprisingly kid friendly!)
Braving the big rocks again (This was the site of Hazel’s knee injury in September.)
Showing off her chicken stamp
Fun with sun, shadow, and solar panels
We successfully forced Hazel to keep her hat on for the whole farm trip. Major mom victory!
Reading the pictures on the sides of this block
Hazel received a homemade wand in the mail today (thanks Lil!) and instantly she was “the queen of the fairies.”*
*She was actually chanting “I’m the queen of the fairies! This night we will all be married [sic].”
Indoor mayhem with Grammy
Serious jumping, too
These toys were running “back and source” and all over the place

Not at all indicative of our day, but a true moment in time, and the only picture I took before the battery on my camera ran out (rats!)
