Laura is growing up.  She now has an email address to talk with family and friends. 

Someone is completely unimpressed with the amount of time I’ve been spending on the computer and phone this week, especially when it’s time for a walk. 

Colin was fairly specific about his cake this year. He also kept changing and adding to the design right up to the day of the party. 

It’s a monster truck, being driven by his favorite monster truck (Dragon). The truck’s name is MoonStern and it has a rocket on the top so it can fly to the moon. It had to be blue. And it’s doing a wheelie over a pile of dirt, of course. 

He loved it!

Colin made 2 monster trucks all by himself, including chalk decorations on the outside and cutting the flaps off the boxes. 

Laura and Colin raced them until they broke down. Laura was the mechanic. I think she is slid under and doing an oil change in the last picture. 

These two kids are hilarious. They went to play on the path and walked back and forth just like this for 20min discussing life, what to play, and how hard time travel may be, among other topics. 20min, many laps back and forth. 

Not the most successful baking project if ranked by looks. Complete success if ranked by taste!  Yummy!

Went out this weekend for an ice cream treat. 

Somehow Colin is into Star Wars. We stopped into a friends and he sorted the figures into their respective camps and smashed them into each other. I think the Imperial forces won today. 

It was a great, sunny, warm afternoon, so we released our butterflies. 14 Painted Lady butterflies are off to survive in the wild. Good luck little butterflies!  

Serious Lego construction needs a hard hat.
