Roots, stems, leaves...

Zachy's early Montessori class sang at the talent show today.  So stinkin' sweet!

Summer Fair Fun (if you can call what we had summer)

There was probably a total of two weeks of weather that could actually be categorized as summer. And this is what I did on two of those days:

Got my tractor on at the fair.

Ate some blue cotton candy (as well as 5 ice creams--over two trips to the fair--and curly fries). 

Saved a cowboy and rode a horse, er, pony. (Hi, Franky!)

Got this far into the bungee jump and then decided it wasn't for me. Maybe next year.

Go pig with the orange number blanket! Whatever your name is. It doesn't matter because I'm rooting for orange!

(Fair: day two) Sleep-eating ice cream. And you thought it couldn't be done. Shame on you for doubting me.

Hope your summer was just as fun as these two days of mine!

Love,

Z

Tiptoeing, uh strollering, through the tulips . . . .

Yesterday, Zachy went with Auntie and Susan to a magical place called Mount Vernon. Every Spring the barren-looking fields suddenly and myseriously burst with a wide array of colors.

Sometimes there's an oddly shaped tree growing amidst the bursts of color.

Strangely, in the most intensely hued areas the color of the flowers will rub off on the person standing (or sitting, in this case) closest.

At the end of the tour, after falling under the magical color spell, you can take a few of the bright, beautiful orbs home and hope the magic of Spring and sunshine follows along with you.

The end.

Rockstar!

Glitter gel hair, bejeweled fingernails, and face gems - a great addition to a Batman shirt and cape!  Loving the orange pants too!  Zachy, you got style!

Corn lover

His second ear of corn tonight!  And he ate 2 ears yesterday!

Strong Auntie

Poor Auntie has to push a full wheelbarrow both ways!  One way with weeds, the other way with small children.  You earn that jellybean snack, Auntie!

Down and Dirty

Zachy helped Auntie clear the front forty for flowers.  Then he threw dirt!
