Rented a car to drive to Pennsylvania for the weekend. Got a brand new Ford Focus with 9 miles on it.

Today is trash day, which is C's favorite day of the week. He usually stands on a yellow bin full of dress up clothes to look out the windows when the trucks are nearby. This morning that bin was in the basement (K had a playdate yesterday and the girls did a princess fashion show downstairs). Needing to see the trucks, C climbed from the stool to the bookshelf to the windowsill. He's a smart kid and a good climber. He did need help getting down once the trucks were gone.

Zoo
We can walk to the National Zoo from home. As a result, we go to the zoo A LOT; often weekly and sometimes twice per week during the summer. Frequently we go late in the afternoon after naps. The crowds are leaving and the lions are hungry and roaring. It is so fun. Since the new American Trail opened last year, we spend a lot of time with the sea lions. Watching them above and below the surface is high on our list of favorite things about the zoo.

I'm going to miss this SO much...

Friends joined us for pizza dinner. One had a gluten allergy. Here is my first attempt at chickpea flour crust. It was the right texture, but definitely needed more salt; possibly some other spices like rosemary and oregano. Looking forward to trying it again...

Graduation party decorations.
I take on all the really big and important tasks at work --- like planning, hosting, and decorating the post-convocation ceremony this spring. The cookie bouquets were quite popular!

K and all of her classmates huddled around three chicks. The family of one of her classmates has pet chickens. The chicks seen here were two days old. So sweet. The excitement among the kids and adults was tangible.

Bite marks. It's hard being the little brother and painful to be the big sister.
