Lillian the Bad Guy

Lillian told me that she was going to be a "Bad Guy". So she spiked up her hair into a mo-hawk, fisted her hands and started making serious faces.

3 Kittens at Emerald City

We went to Emerald City Theatre a couple weeks ago and saw the play Three Little Kittens. You'll never guess, they lost their mittens! And that is how the mystery began. The kids all helped the kittens search for their mittens so they could have some pie. Note: No pie was served at the end of this play, much to my disappointment.

She found something!

First Pizza and Family Movie Night - WALL-E

We watched Wall-E and ate pizza on Sunday night in what we anticipate will be the first of many family movie nights. The kids were very much absorbed by the movie - both loved it.

Belmont Bunny Hop 2016

We went to the Belmont Bunny Hop - which was a bunch of stores on Belmont all doing some kid activities - coloring, face painting, cookie decorating, stickers, etc. Kids had a blast. Lillian was terrified of the Easter Bunny, but had no problem walking up to Darth Vader and telling him he was a 'Good Guy'. Simon was sure he was a bad guy and Darth told Lillian she was the only one who 'really got him'. It was a great exchange.

Simon's Art and Journal



Picture
My rocket ship is flying into outer space. He is going to the moon. The moon is small because the rocket ship is very far from it. People are looking out the window. The people see stars and the moon. The moon is dry because there is no water on it. It is crispy in the middle

Picture
An Octopus in the center with friends around. The Eel in the upper left has lots of lines and is smiling
because he likes being close to the octopus.

Simon's Spring Show - singing Let's Go Fly a Kite


City kids take the train to dinner

I took my little city kids on the train to Noodles and Co for dinner out just the three of us. We had Mac&Cheese with Chicken and then road the train home - and went an extra stop so we could stretch our legs a little. It was a great night and they had such fun on the train. We'll definitely be doing it more now that Lillian is able to stay awake past 5:30. 

I asked for smiles. Lillian is smiling at her noodles cuz, you know, priorities.
Walking down Addison on our way home.
