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.
It was a good weekend! So sorry we will miss the show at the Henry we are heading south for the weekend. I hope it goes really well!

That looks like a wonderful day! We went to seattle/bainbridge island last summer for a little vacation and I loved it. I could definitely live there............

frustration and regret that I didn't pay closer attention in geometry class.
It appears that she's only made thirteen movie and/or television appearances during her career, the last one something called Buddy Boy in 1999. My exhaustive internet research turned up little more than squat.

Love that quilt. In fact, I was going to work on my dissertation for the next couple of hours but you reminded me that I would so much rather be working on my spring-trips-to-the-park quilt. I know. I'm bad.
