2014/06/12 Thursday: Heavy Haulers


Henry and his friend used the tricycle basket like a dump truck.  They had a great time, but there's also a large amound of Nick's fresh topsoil now on the sidewalk.

2014/06/11 Wednesday: Car Nap

She's worn out after a trip to Costco.  Jo Ellen sent us Butterfly larvae.  She sent us some last year and the kids really enjoyed watching the caterpillars turn into butterflies.

2014/06/10 Tuesday: Farewell Mr E


We took Henry's favorite friend to Legoland as a sort of farewell party.  He's moving to the Pacific Northwest tomorrow morning, and we are really going to miss him and his family.

2014/06/09 Monday: Tiny Gardeners

They love to spray things with the hose, or fill up the watering can and attempt to drown plants.

2014/06/08 Sunday: Virtual Youth Choir

Henry learned the song "What If" and then we recorded it in the office (set up as a little studio).  This was for his submission to the Eric Whitacre Virtual Youth Choir.  The song will be premiered at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.  I think he's adorable singing the song, and he's a pretty good singer.  Nick gave me the fancy microphone for my birthday, after I participated in two other virtual choirs by Eric Whitacre.

2014/06/07 Saturday: Plants Galore


We are redoing the flower bed in front of our house.  Last fall we took out some ugly shrubbery, because it was both ugly and blocking the light into our living room.  My friend Janette created a garden plan for us, and we've been searching around for the plants she recommended.  Yes, Gigi picked out her own outfit.

2014/06/06 Friday: Busy Fun Day

Gigi has had a busy day.  For playgroup, we were guests at the Riverside Pool club.  After the kids wore themselves out swimming, she came home and had a n epic nap.  Then we had the neighbors over.
