They do like each other, sometimes! Catching rainbows in the sprinkler.
There is nothing going on, and at the same time so much that it makes my head spin. We have been playing soccer, watching rainy-day movies (Milo and Otis, which I, for one, found a little strange) hatching Triops (they have three eyes, you know; just ask They Might Be Giants), learning new words, trying new foods and enjoying being outside (welcome back, sprinkler!).
The boys got new Crocs, a sure sign that summer is on its way. Mason and Ashton pretended to be caterpillars; then worms, then snakes, and finally dill pickles, and spent a lot of time playing in empty boxes. We tried Ugli fruit, though Mason said he had tried it before with Mimi, and summed it up nicely for us: 'like an orange, but with more sour' and broccoli slaw and polenta casserole, pasta with anchovy paste (Blake LOVED this) and some dried apricots dipped in chocolate and encrusted with pistachios. I love this never-ending experiment/excuse to buy new and lovely-sounding foods.
We are all looking forward to Kid's Day tomorrow and even more so to our beloved annual trek to Saugatuck for Memorial Day. Our plan is to wake up early and hop in the car with jammies still on. I am looking for a traveling-in-the-car friendly breakfast to dole out on the way (any ideas? Pop-Tarts are on my never-ever-ever list)
Tuesday is the big day for Arika (!) I want to mention it now, because it will be that long at least until I can make it to the basement to post again. I am as proud as if I actually had something to do with her success. Buy her book, it is as amazing as she is. I only wish I could claim a blood relation and not just a legal one. But that would be a little weird then, wouldn't it?
The most wonderful toy, the box.
