adventures of batman, spiderman, bob the super builder and bunny girl

June 12th, 2008

I mentioned earlier that we were having Matthew and Tobi over for a raucous good time. And we did. And raucous it was. Four and 18mos are great ages. Will and Matthew are old enough that they can play creatively (and nicely) with tinker toys for hours. Yesterday Will built a scaffolding-like structure that he […]

hot hot hot!

June 12th, 2008

We’re supposed to have three digit heat today. Maybe OVER 100. That is hot for this area. Unfortunately we are behind on our preparations. I meant to stock the freezer with popsicles and the fridge with homemade lemonade, but instead I mopped and swept the house. You’d not believe the dirt we collect through the […]

Will was playing Batman this weekend dressed in his full caped and muscled suit, looking a little like a Mexican wrestler. I heard a jingle in my dining room hutch and look up to find two hors d’oeuvre knives and a popsicle stick stuck in his utility belt. He pulled them out proudly and explained, […]

cherries, dragons and pirates. Oh my!

June 10th, 2008

My famous pirate Aunt gifted Will a full body dragon tattoo that we had squirreled away for a heatwave, and lo we’re having one! Will dawned this as we walked out the door to go camping, and it certainly saw a lot of sun. Summer means it is cherry time, here, and those cherry trees […]

camping

June 9th, 2008

We had a wonderful weekend in Santa Cruz at New Brighton State Beach with Syvie’s buddies, Stella and Theo. We drove down Friday afternoon at nap time, arriving in time to set up camp before dinner. The camp is in the woods on a bluff overlooking Monterrey Bay. The camp sites are large, but most […]
