Getting gas these days is an adventure, throw in a car wash and we’ve got a thrill of an afternoon! The kind of thrill that makes you want to cover your eyes but peak through your fingers kind of excitement:)

Good thing we have an ice scraper and snow brush. The things you discover while playing inside the car.

Still working towards two wheels. Not a bad view for the practice crew!

When a bath is so what’s needed.

Holmes has another tooth! And, I don’t think I’ll ever get over how many sidewalk fruit trees are in our neighborhood. Can’t complain about these pre-dinner snacks!

Meryl’s haircutting salon opened after hours tonight just before bed. Complete with her haircutting necklace and box full of haircutting supplies, Frank was lucky to get a trim. Thankfully, Meryl used a comb to protect his ears too:) Five star review and a tip! (FYI also and well known in our parts. Eloise is six and has scissors in her room at The Plaza. So we’ve got - or bought - some time on this front.)

Homemade nachos and ice cream cake for dinner! Hot tip, thanks to Chrissy Teigan: Cool Ranch Doritos nachos. Our lives have been changed for the better. And if you give it a try, yours will too:)

Independence streak for them and for me! (Not really, but there are glimmers here and there.)
