So far this month:
A trip to Bainbridge Island with friends
including a stop at Esther's for some odds & ends
which for some reason was less interesting to the children than the ferry ride.
(Obligatory Seattle-from-the-water shot.)
Saturday was our first pre-kindergarten playdate, which went very well without actually forcing me to deal with the fact that my baby is starting kindergarten.
Then I got a new bike.
I have been wanting something cushy but functional for a while now, for errand-running without getting sporty, but with enough oomph to take a hill or two. I love it so much.
Yesterday we took a picnic to watch a production of Alice in Wonderland at the park, hurrah free park theater. (A couple of our preschool teachers were in the play -- Kirsten got a great shot of the action here.)
And then I took another obligatory Space Needle shot. It's like a disease.
Today, though, it's down to business: I'm working hard getting things ready for Saturday's show (Rock, Paper, Scissors at the Henry Art Gallery, 12-4pm, free to members or with museum admission), the kids are working hard making sure that no piece of playmobil is left unplayed with. Well, except for that quick bike ride around the lake. But we're working NOW, I swear. Just as soon as I finish this blog post.
