Stuff

Good craft to do with kids or seniors or both.

I took apart this exact same kids book to use for art. I guess nothing is original!

Leni and Alex

Last Saturday the weather was around 80 and Leni got her hair cut into a cool bob. Then we spent evening at a park watching our 12-year old friend Luke’s little leagure game. Luke’s younger brothers, Theo and Alex, are close to Leni’s age and some of her best buddies. The kids played on the playground next to the baseball field and we all ate some great pizza from Tastebud.

Heather’s Baby Shower

Just got home from my friend Heather’s baby shower. Lots of fun! Thanks to Mom for the help with making the flag decorations you can see in the background. They looked great. It was awesome trying to get those giant orange balloons in my car!

My Silk Dyed Easter Eggs

Easter was low-key at our house as we don’t really celebrate it in any religious fashion. Leni decorated eggs with my mom and lots of glitter and I did my new tradition of the past few years which is silk-dyed eggs. Leni woke up with a bang ready to get candy and hunt for eggs. I took her to see an Easter Bunny at the Humane Society (as well as some real bunnies). She said, “It was just a person in a bunny costume. I was not impressed.” She liked seeing all the real animals, though. That evening we had a great meal at Zach and Christina’s: Sesame noodles and lamb cake.

Jeremy on his Birthday in His Birthday Suit: NC 17

…not to be confused with the black Calvin Klein suit we got him as a bday present! Can’t wait to see him in it at his graduation from nursing school on June 16.

Jeremy’s 37th Bday Last Saturday

Leni was super excited for Jer’s bday and baked him cupcakes with crazy lime, aqua, silver, and various shades of pink frostings. He was working at Glendoveer that day with the old folks, so we brought the cupcakes in to work to share them with other staff and visit some of the resident’s who love seeing Leni, of course. She is really great with them and asks to go to work with me.
