Hazel had a poetry assignment for school. They had to create a book with a certain number of different styles of poems, including haikus, cinquain, diamante, ballads, ode, and elegy.

We did Tuesday tacos, and Margot was playing with my phone while we waited. She said she was trying to look mysterious.

If anyone eats gluten free or cooks for someone that does, highly recommend two things: 1) Get yourself the pictured cookbook. The recipes aren’t simple, they involve a lot of mixing your own flour blends, but they have all been fantastic. 2) Get yourself a

Hazel had a great time at this weeklong summer camp. The week ends with a live performance, where Hazel played the keyboard on one song and sang on another. https://www.schoolofrock.com/locations/pasadena

And she’s happiest in the gift store, reading the science books. —

She’s very excited about it. Sorry for the cruddy lighting.

It had been quiet for awhile, so I went and checked on Margot. She was quietly making a mess peeling paper of crayons, one of her favorite hobbies.

Margot just said " me, bed". Then she collected her toys, and went in her room for a nap. Such an easy kid.

Margot woke up at 5 am. Looked bleary eyed, then said "Eat cereal’. I took her to the dining room, but she cried when I turned on the lights. So she sat in the dark and ate Cheerios. After her bowl, she said, "daddy, me,

Tonight I was parallel parking in front of Kim’s moms house, and it was kind of a tight spot. I take pride in my parking ability, but I was tired, and after two or three "points" in what was looking to be a ten+ plus

I actually didn’t get many photos, most of the exhibits were hands on, and since it was just me with the girls (Kim is on a work trip), my hands were pretty full. I’ve been on the JPL campus before with friends, and for meetings,

Margot is napping. Hazel and I are working in the garden and I let her have the first plum from our tree as a reward for hard work.

Speaking softly and in her patient voice, “when I’m having quiet time and resting on the couch, you don’t come over ok? Just ten seconds, I’m resting. You don’t just listen to mommy and daddy, you listen to me too, ok?”

Popo is watering plants including the hydrangeas we gave her for Mother’s Day.

We are getting a couple pints of berries every 2 days, and more monster zucchini than you’d believe.

Hazel loved the terrain park, where they build jumps and things for doing tricks. She didn’t really jump, but she wanted to. She kept asking to go off some bigger jumps, but I wouldn’t let her. =)

Hundreds of dollars worth of toys in the house, and Margot has been playing with a box of rocks for a week…. 🙂

Margot has discovered the "drop toys on the ground and cry until someone picks it up" game.

Hazel drew a picture of our family. As she draws, she keeps saying "I’m going to do a perfectly, perfectly good job" The bottom squiggles are grass, the mountains are mountains. I asked who the people in the lower right are, and she said "people

Nearly 6 hours for Hazel and I. 4.5ish for logan. Made it back to China Town. At one point we were at Atlantic and the 10 and I strongly considered just riding home. 🙂 Refueling the kids with meat pies from a bakery in China
