Hazel has been working really hard at school this year. Soccer practice 4 days a week after school, volunteering, an AP class as a freshman, student newspaper, homework, etc. There have been some late evenings and skipping some family stuff to work. She’s been putting
Kim picked pomegranates this morning. Most of these are the size of a softball, and the tree still has lots.
Margot recently decided she wanted to crochet a chicken. She didn’t have a kit or instructions. She just looked at some pictures of chickens online for “inspo” and then made this up in her head then crocheted it. I’m amazed at how she just figures
Pulp and LCD Soundsystem Hazel loves Pulp. She was a little surprised to find out they are in their 60’s and that most of the crowd is my age or older, lol. We had a really great time at the concert. Kim and Margot decided
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.

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,

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?”

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. =)
