let's go fly a kite
I don't know how long Olivia flew a kite today.... but it seemed like most of the day. It was a hot, sunny day, so we made snow cones for the first time in a long time.

Today was a teacher learning day, so Emma didn't have any distance learning assignments. I didn't think we'd be doing anything outside since the forecast said it was going to rain most of the day. Turns out the forecast was completely wrong. We made

Someone was very happy this morning after a visit from the tooth fairy! This week has been a rough one for distance learning. Luckily there is no school tomorrow. It was another warm day, and it was sunny. Emma decided it was perfect weather for sunbathing on the deck. I

Happy Earth Day! Emma had a couple Earth Day related assignments. One of them was a scavenger hunt in the yard. While she was at it she cleaned up some trash in the backyard. Some exciting news at our house....! Emma lost her first tooth. She's wanted to
