Coffee with Linda and Adrienne.
Gymnastics with Carson.
Soccer with Sophia.
And a shopping trip to Green Acres Nursery. Thais was a consultant for not only me, but also Leah and Jeff.

This morning, Thais and I took Carson to Milestones
then took the Capitol Corridor train to Berkeley and Lyft to our favorite fabric store.

We had lunch at Toss Noodle Bar,
and little window shopping on 4th St before taking the train back to Sacramento. We picked up Carson and went directly to Avery’s Little League game.
Fun day!

“Mom, what do you want for Mother’s Day?” My backyard finished. Thank you Thais who planted one focal-point plant here (and hooked up the irrigation)
and created a couple of additional groupings of pots & plants:

The first step:

And later, indoor soccer.

As soon as Uncle Justin came in the door, he was put to work!
Sophia used her own money to buy a pair of crutches – just for fun.

at Cafeteria 15L.

Wonderful food! Fun time with all the Del Castillo’s.

Spring break for Sophia and Avery this week. I got to spend the whole day with them!

Tasting the cookie dough:

Time for a play:

Lollipop cookies finished!

Hunting for Easter eggs:

Sophia is #12.

Carson preferred to walk the balance beam with assistance.
Avery is at bat. The ball comes from a pitching machine.

Sophia and Avery were excited to make me a bookmark – out of glue. Step one: use a plastic lid from a box and color a tray-like space. I wanted a rainbow bookmark.
Then you pour glue all over it and wait 3 days for it to completely dry. The colors soak up into the glue.
Time to make pancakes. Avery is great at measuring and mixing the ingredients and making sure the sugar hasn’t gone bad.
Sophia and Avery prefer their pancakes with syrup and iPads.
Carson prefers his with a side of whipped cream.
Lastly, a game of Break the Ice:
Now, Grandma can go home. Smiling.
