I’m on to you.

Will the car wash clean the bird poop off the top of the car? We all guessed, “yes!” And the answer was, “nope!”

I’ve started using blue light blocking glasses while working on the computer and Meryl, wanting to join me, went down to the garage to get her biking glasses:) And then Grandpa called and we had to capture all of our filters!

The cousin frequency is waving this week on the topic of…sleeping under beds:) Will and Lucy and Meryl are sharing all the good vibrations.

Not to be outdone, Holmes carried three squishy balls during soccer practice last week and FOUR this week. We’ll see what next week holds, literally:)

We joined friends at Fremont Fringe last night, which is a first Friday(ish) performance arts walk of sorts throughout the Fremont neighborhood. It was so much fun!

(We also got family COVID tests yesterday - all negative - because Meryl and I had runny noses this week and in a pandemic, you gotta do what you gotta do to rule out variables. Cold? Allergies? Who knows! But…testing lines have grown significantly as the Delta variant is rearing its ugly head. Ugh.)

A month into tap dancing and these girls set their sights on the stage! (Meryl’s tap teacher is in the striped pants.) Let’s just say ‘improv’ was not on the agenda, but with two adorable girls eager for the limelight, the playlist magically adapted:) Afterwards, Meryl said she was “scared to dance in front of people,” can’t you tell? Everyone was still on a high at tap class this morning:)

Meryl and Tito created a hide-and-seek game, where they hide somewhere aligned to the color on their paper plate spinner. It was a whole project to create the spinner, and Meryl enjoyed the prospect of also finding color appropriate clothing to wear each time she hid. Hey, dress the part!

Holmes quickly followed suit…but instead chose his own color and gave loud verbal hints about his hiding spots:)

Imaginative sand and sunlight! And such a cool fort at the Discovery Park playground.

Honestly, a bike rack was just as intriguing:)
