I’m slacking a bit with my blog posting here, I know. Lots going on, I guess, and at the same time nothing that moves me to blog. Sorry. Here are a few pictures anyway to tide you over. I have a good post I’m formulating in my head, lots of words and few pictures… though maybe “good post” is a matter of preference. :) Here’s what we’ve been up to this week!
Blueberry picking again. This time we made blueberry jam!
A new (to us) playground with a huge slide. Too bad it was SUPER hot so no one could use it.
A neat tire and wood car for the kids to drive.
This thing is always fun!
Slip-n-sliden’
Eve’s turn.
Drink break!
I love sunny close-ups!
Eve got mad at me for misunderstanding her dinner order one night and decided to make her own sandwich, including cutting the bread by herself! (don’t worry, I supervised) Of course she ate this AND the mini-bagel I had already made for her. We’re a carb crew in this house!
Doesn’t everyone eat breakfast with 3D glasses on?
Today we went to the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium.
It consisted mostly of stuffed animals in glass boxes.
They also had lots of spiral staircases. I learned today that Eve is quite nervous on spiral staircases.
While waiting for the planetarium to open, Lex impressed the silent crowd by reading the captions on the video out-loud to Eve and I (and everyone else!) I started reading quietly to the kids, but apparently his eye sight is much better than mine and he took over when I wasn’t reading fast enough! (he’s reading over my shoulder right now, as I do this blog post!)
We got home from the museum earlier than I had expected today. It wasn’t exactly a big place! It rained off and on the whole way home. It’s a weird, muggy, stormy day. Eve insisted on quiet time, despite just coming off a long car ride, so we all went our separate ways for awhile. Time to re-engage.
