Weekend Wrap-up

Sunday again!  The days just fly by (is that a sign of getting old??).  Illness continues in our house-- Julia was diagnosed with an ear infection on Saturday-- so we continue to lay low.  Honestly, we usually are out seeing and doing interesting things!  The snow is slowly melting, though (if you don't count the 4 inches we got this morning!) and as it leaves, we will be out hiking and traveling around New England.  In the meantime, here are a few photos from the last few days.

Willow at the karate birthday party of our neighbor/friend, Jack.  Willow is third here after Jack and his sister, Caroline.

She is over to the left, loving the karate lesson.

Yet another attempt to follow my resolution to buy less and  make more.  I'm going "no-poo"--just water, apple cider vinegar and baking soda here!

Thursday was art day with our neighbor friend.  We looked at the art of Paul Klee and then the girls created their own Klee inspired art.  Here is Willow's painting (the geometric shapes don't show up well here, but she did a great job!)

I was invited for the third year to be a tester for Parents Magazine.  That means I get a big box of free stuff to try out in exchange for a review of the products.  This year we got two awesome cloth diapers, an all natural  laundry detergent, Sylvan Learning Center workbooks for Willow and a cool alarm clock that is supposed to help kids learn to wake up at the right time.  Not as good a haul as last year's designer strollers but still awesome (and free!)

Poor little Indigo right before we headed to the doctor for ear.  She has such a high pain tolerance!  The Dr said that her ear looked so bad but she didn't make a peep about it until Saturday morning.

At the Children's Museum today.
