Quick Notes from June 2015

At the store last night, in the cleaning section:

Sam: "Men don't clean. Women clean."
Josephine: "Um- no. It says 'MR. Clean' right here."

Bubbles at horse camp.
Last game of the season.


Josephine won the Sunshine Award this year at her school. Sam won it last year! One student each years is awarded this for being - well, sunshiny! So proud.


Jo flew to Texas with grandma Helen, and back by herself. Such a big girl! Such a fun adventure.

Amelia Earhart


This was part of Josephine's research project on Amelia Earhart. My nanny Maggie had performed as Amelia in a bunch of plays back in the day, and generously sent along a couple awesome books for Jo to keep... really special... you can't tell but she's wearing pearls, just like Amelia did...

This thank you video to all the people who helped us find our dog didn't go so well.

Art, Easter, Photobombs - Must be Spring 2015





























A trip to the art museum with friends... three easter egg hunts... playing with the camera... and a couple pics from st. patrick's day...

Sam told us he likes the sun, because, he's like the sun, he's a son, get it?

He got "secretly" "fake-married" to their friend, Neva, yesterday, by friend Wren. Rings made out of pipe cleaners and paper. Jo was bridesmaid. SHHH.

Josy saw a statue and said, "That's the Venus de Milo, right?"

She also tried explaining the centaur myth to the other kids (see pic above).

She joined her friend (granddaughter of our next-door neighbor, Norm) on Monday collecting grass/weeds, mixing them with chalk, then packaging and selling this concoction as a "NatureMade" healing rub for 'bumps and bruises.' They made $9. "It's FDA-approved, really," said Jo.

She has recently declared that she's done with PINK and has moved onto PURPLE. It's the end of an age!

Sam is mad that he has to do "school" work at "home." The concept of "homework" seems ridiculous to him. "I should do work at school and play at home! Not play at school and work at home!"

Sam breaks down easter: there were a bunch of kings and they didnt want him to be king although he is god and god is really important so they killed him.
