Yesterday was summer fun with watermelon.
Today she been in her cozy listening to audiobooks and pausing to vomit in the buckety.
Stomach bugs suck.
We are hoping she can return to the fun of summer day camp soon.

We had sangria or fruit flavored lemonade (depending on age) at Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant.
The various nude art from statue to photos was a big topic of conversation. The kids were pretty sure that one of the photos of the pope (not nude) on the wall was watching them FOR REAL.

This outing makes me hanker for a minivan. Look at them all comfy in the backseats. Suburban parenthood.

The honeysuckle is in a million blooms and the after school popsicle feels like the perfect happy hour treat.

A professional took Ezri’s home cut bangs to the next level of bangs.

Here she is seeing them for the first time. She’s please with her new look. She did express concern that Eric and kids at school might not recognize her.

Even though it was raining and cold today, we went out to Lilacia Park to smell the flowers. I love lilac season. I have an early memory of running under lilac bushes when I was three.

At first we thought we were the only ones in the park this morning, but there were eight others there and ten if you counted the dogs. Ivan wanted to count the dogs. On sunny days in lilac season, the park is filled with people. It was nice to enjoy its quiet, drippy, cool beauty.

Stopping to smell the tulips

So many kinds and colors of tulips

Where did those kids go?

Lilac POWER!

One with smiles

One with silly faces

I made the kids quick bunny pancakes.

Ezri decided to make her own decorated pancake. Eric calls her creation “the eye of Sauron.”

She’s pretty proud of it.
