Big snowfall here! 10 inches in total! We measured with a ruler!
We ventured to the school for its hills
Later we made a gigantic snow fort!
The kids’ wishing-for-snow paper snowflakes are visible in the background here. They worked!
We got a dusting of snow overnight
Just enough to stomp around in
Hot bevs: Landry loves hot cocoa. Hazel prefers instant soup
We had snow flurries all day but none was sticking
Optimizing the use of vertical space between Farkle turns
Dwarfed by columns
Unceasing explorers
Found this big, beautiful tree around back (possibly a madrone?)
Dangling pose — their idea
A Duplo champions build
Finished product
Landry put on a colorful rock show for Grammy while Hazel worked out some long multiplication problems
Watching a neighbor’s suds slowly, slowly trickle down the hill
We took a picture while we waited
Byeeeeee
Hazel was not the one we expected would lose a tooth next, but out came tooth #10 this morning
Here’s a sad, mad kid who wishes it were his turn to lose a tooth. He nevertheless surrounded himself with Pokémon cards as a distraction; what a big, mature self-soother!
Device o’clock! E-book, podcasts and Nintendo respectively
Watching fast-moving debris and diving ducks in the Sound
But first: opposite shores
Reunited at the intersection
Run, rest, run
New school schedule for the new semester, new breaks for reading about Pokémon
Tethered
Look what’s growing behind Landry’s loose tooth! A new row like a shark!
