Frozen continues to inspire yet again…here is Elsa in her ice castle with Marshmallow alongside.

Yeeeah, here we go. The boys caught a bit of a cold so Holmes stayed home from school today and the three of us went to get COVID tests. It is so nice that Seattle has several free PCR testing sites with quick results turnaround times. That also means that we get them often to reduce risk variables…or at least to clear the optics of symptoms.

A big Tuesday was had by all:)

Remembering back to the short kindergarten day during Meryl’s first week of school, and with Xanna in town we lunched! It was such a treat.

Lummi loves to walk Meryl to school:) She gets pets from other kids too, and she doesn’t mind one bit.

A big Monday was had by all:)

We went from sun and 78-degrees yesterday to downpours today. And with less sunlight these days, we’re turning on lights. Holmes loves to light up a room, in more ways than one!

The gym thoughtfully swapped the bleachers and bacteria ridden toddler play area (you’re welcome, Holmes) in favor of masks, a warehouse of open windows, and live streaming cameras. No parents allowed! Next up, trying to get a screenshot from the camera view:)

This kid loves to build, mostly garages and tall towers for booms.

Give it up to the bouquet garni for giving it all its got before and after the braise!

Dramatic falls, gets Holmes every time. Over and over and over again:)

Dad and Holmes bike ride morning in the sun!

We went to a real birthday party! So far, and for us included, birthday parties have been a limited affair. So many plans and so many cancellations. Nobody knows what to do. Well, today took the cake and gave all the feels, while outdoors and masked up. Costumes, melting frozen hands with salt to find treasure, homemade lava lamps…it was scientifferrific!

Yet another wishbone, and yet another wish for Holmes! Meryl sooooo wants the bigger half and her wish to be granted…and it never seems to break in her favor. More roast chicken! And, congratulations Holmes! We hope your wishes all come true:)

Look up high in the rafters! It’s Lola and Xanna!
