One Week

The past week kinda flew by. There were a few rather memorable moments, like the thick and sweet fondant Jack Sparrow hand Elliot brought home for me from a pirate-themed birthday party he went to.  (I may have just a teensy lust on for Jack Sparrow. And now I've eaten his hand!) It was very... chewy. And sweet. And of course I ate very nearly all of it. That black pearl in the middle was a bit much. And the boys each wanted a finger. But it was very tasty.

We all went for a walk on Tuesday, in the sunshine. Had some fun playing in the trees at the green space down the street and were headed to the playground until the boys both had meltdowns and refused to walk because they were "too tired". When they figured out we were going home instead, Elliot started screaming, "I want to go to the park. I want to live at the park. It's all I want. Why aren't you doing what I want?"

The boys had several long and detailed phone conversations with various relatives. They fought over who would get to talk. Visions of their teenage years are in my head when I look at these pictures...

The dinosaurs came out to play on Thursday....

We went for walks after supper in the sunshine and discovered worms in the backyard.

This weekend is quickly coming to a close, a new week is beginning, a new season is budding up. It's a time of change. And we're mostly along for the ride!
