April 8, 2010

Looking for birds during breakfast.

Grace's April assignment: decorate an umbrella.

Looking for a sign of spring: she chose some brand new maple leaves.




In the drop off line.




It's just so much fun to play with the curtain!



Giving Dad some low fives.

A kiss goodbye.




Out from school!

Grace wanted to sit in the backseat, just this once. And I told her that it wasn't allowed, that it would mean breaking a law that was meant to keep her safe. And I told her that when kids her age get in trouble, that usually means the parents get in trouble too -- and she just loved that. She delighted at the idea that the police would pursue me and I'd be getting in trouble because of something she did. And this is the girl who will one day pick out my retirement home. I am doomed.


All Kate wanted to know was when she'd be getting some lunch.

After lunch we went to a coffee for our poem a day group. These girls had a lot of fun playing together while we talked.


After a quick nap, we went out to play.

It was very windy outside, the weather's changing and we could certainly feel the storm front approaching.






Here's a look you don't want to see -- David and I work on not making eye contact with Kate when she's outside because when she looks your way it usually means she's about to run and she wants to make sure you see she's about to do it. Not that you can say anything to stop her -- she'll just try to get as far down the street as possible before you catch up.

Calm in the midst of a turbulent wind.

Our dear friend Viviana came over to play.


There was some disagreement about who was going to maintain control of the bubbles.





There was also some disagreement about who was going to ride the car.



We are always so happy to have such great friends to play with right at the end of our cul de sac.

Embiggen to see some photos Grace took today.
