Sort of.
Thursday Afternoon
What else to do on a sunny Thursday afternoon than to spend some time in the backyard?
The kids decided to jump rope with K holding one end and a tree, the other.
The Girl decided she wanted a photoshoot while on the swing. And soon enough, she was making silly faces.
The dog was, well, just the dog.

Icy morning, failed brownies.

Valentine Box
Valentine's Day is approaching. An exciting time for a five-year-old. The Boy asked K to help him make a box for his cards when the magical day arrives. It had to be "boyish" -- his favorite term these days.
At first, he wanted to make a Batman box.
"No, too difficult," said K. "We only have this evening to work on it while Daddy and L are at gymnastics." So they settled on a robot.
But what to do about the neck? In the picture online, the neck was a different color than the rest, so they were reticent to cover the neck -- made from an old empty matchbox -- in foil as well. L, just before we left, remembered she had some red tape in her craft supplies. She brought it down, but K wasn't initially thrilled about it.
"It's got sparkles on it. I don't think he'll want sparkes."
The Boy, standing right there, looked at it, thought for a moment, then said, "No, it's great. It makes it very Valentine-ish."
Monday Afternoon
Monday afternoon. We've all survived work and school. The first day back is behind us.
We run down to the new trampoline and start bouncing like mad.
Clover, too, is ready for some fun.
And then, when it's time to put the Boy to bed, I fall asleep with him, and Monday afternoon doesn't get recorded until Tuesday evening.
