Mother’s Day

The first present. Avery wanted to show me his extra-large fort upstairs where he plays video games. I was invited inside.

Breakfast from Orphan’s (the Platas Verdes was great) and fun with everyone.

Water balloons

I’ve been working on a project for SABA – an online toolkit “Successful Bicycling at Home with Kids.” Sophia, Avery and Carson have been the subjects of all my photos. Today’s photo session:

Helping out

Uh-oh, Avery likes using 2 iPads at once.

I drove Thais’ car to drop off Avery and Sophia for golf lessons.

I found out what Carson likes at Starbucks: chocolate milk and a cheese Danish.

And all those crumbs did not fall in my car. Smile.

Happy Birthday!

Sophia had a drive-by birthday with a few of her friends yesterday which was a surprise for her. Today she is 11 and the family celebration is quite small. I was unable to shop for a card so I made one with fabric scraps:

The fabrics are from a collection called Pie Making Day 🙂

Helping out

A golf lesson with physical distancing:

Meanwhile, in the back seat:

While we were waiting in the very long Starbucks drive-through, Carson started talking to Avery’s feet. And Avery’s feet talked back. Oh, the laughter!

Bike ride

I’ve been walking or bike riding every day that it’s not raining or cold and windy. It’s about 5 miles to Thais and Lenin’s house. Thais was inside working, Lenin was outside with the kids:
Skinny enough to go THROUGH the fence:

Riding back along Fisherman’s Lake Parkway:

Monday morning with Grandma

Sophia and Avery did some homework. Carson and I played Dog Bingo. This is a picture of Carson cheating. He compares the dogs on my card to the dogs on his card, then he looks at the tiles inside the bag and chooses the one that lets him always be ahead in the count. I don’t say a word, I’m laughing hysterically on the inside.

Carson helped me get a small box of Easter decorations out of a cabinet over the washing machine (and I didn’t have to climb a ladder). Then he helped me decorate. He was very proud of the “set up” he created.
