Builders at the DuPage Children’s Museum

Saws, drills, hammers, clamps – hand tools and wood blocks

The kids made some fabulous creations and had the power of making holes and cutting wood themselves.
Ezri is getting good with a hand saw.
Ivan still needs help to get his nails pounded flat but both like to build.

Old Friends together again

“If we tell them we’re conjoined twins, they won’t be able to separate us.” – Charlotte. We love her so much.

Fall Leaves

These are from weekend before last. That was before Ivan’s new haircut. Ezri helped rake. Ivan was more of a leap jumper than raker.

Julia’s 10th Birthday party

Unaware of the epic space battle that rages behind her

The thing about my brother

Ivan had to write one thing he wanted to do this weekend and went with “This weekend I want to play with my sister.”
I am so glad these two kids love each other.

Half day of school = Arboretum fun

Climbing around in “Ewok Village” or as the arboretum calls it Adventure Woods

More acorn photos

Ivan wanted a photo where he was on top of Ezri. She was thrilled.

Ezri is on top but more relaxed about it.

There was a display of giant origami inspired sculptures that we enjoyed strolling through.

Ice Cream on the Third Day of Third Grade

Ezri got her favorite flavor Lighthouse Cherry but had them add a new flavor Peach.
We biked to Every Day’s a Sundae with our friend, Meghan.
Ezri thinks we might need to make this a tradition and get ice cream on the 4th day of 4th grade and so on.

Ezri & Alice

Ezri & Alice hugging each other for 4 years and counting.

They are so excited to be in the same class this year for 3rd grade.
