Bubble Fun!

A special thanks to two of my wonderful third grade students who introduced me to this fantastic bubble blowing technique! What an incredibly easy way to get great bubble results! To try it at home, all you need is half of a water bottle, a tea towel or cloth napkin, a rubber band for securing and a mixture of dish soap and water. Enjoy!

Creative Outlets

The rainy season continues on and unfortunately when it hasn't been somewhere between drizzling and pouring, the smoke from burning trash has kept us in quite a bit. Luckily for us, we have plenty of ways to keep us busy and feeling creative.

Amelia Paints

At the moment, painting her hand and stamping it on the paper is her technique. It's colorful, feels fun and keeps us smiling! She will sit for long periods of time and draw, paint or "make gifts," which are cards for friends and family. She is such a caring and generous little girl. 

Liz Cooks

This is my recreation of the "best salad of my life" that I had in Bali during a recent girls weekend.

It is arugula, pumpkin, carrot, and toasted almonds with homemade tahini dressing.

Jim recently told me that my cooking has gone from "T-Ball" when we first got together to "Division 3 Baseball" I guess you could say that I have been, "Knocking it out of the park!"

Bryce and Jim Make Music

Our neighbor has a drum kit and does weekend jam sessions. Bryce now sees himself as a drummer. In this photo, Jim is introducing Bryce to different "drums" he can use to make lots of different sounds. Bryce's favorite are the tambourine and the springform cake pan because they are the loudest.

Everyone needs a creative outlet...what is yours?

March Already?

Wow, I can't believe that March is already here. Time is slipping right through our fingertips as we continue to be amazed by how much Amelia and Bryce are growing and changing. Here are a few photos of what we have been up to...

Homemade glitter play dough is fun to stamp!

Amelia LOVES to dress up.

Can't decide which cereal to have for breakfast? 

No problem, just eat all three!

The ultimate marble race...thus far!
