Day 322: It's too nice not to go for a walk!

It was a beautiful day for a walk today. Not too hot or cold, and all the trees look amazing. I took this walking along the creek near Elizabeth's school.

Day 321: Knitting

Mum is inspiring me to get my knitting out again. She's making a blanket out of different colored triangles.

Day 320: Oakland Zoo

Today we took a trip to our local zoo. We go there most years, the kids always have a great time. And the weather was fantastic.

Day 319: TV addicts

Never underestimate the power of the Backyardigans.

Day 318: Grandad's here!

My Dad arrived today for a two week visit. It's been a year since he was last here, so it is really nice to have him here again. Once again I'm happy how quickly the kids took to him. They were fine with him right from the start. Yay for web cameras!

Day 317: Goodwill hunting

Today we made one of our regular trips to the Valley to do some bargain hunting at the Goodwill stores in Cupertino, Moutain View and Sunnyvale. We all came home with armfuls of goodies.

Day 316: Look what I made in school today :)

I co-oped in Elizabeth's class again today, and this is the project I was working on with the kids this time. I got to make one myself to figure out the process. We made them by placing some leaves on some wax paper, sprinkling some crumbled crayon over them, covering them with another piece of wax paper, then ironing the whole thing to melt the crayon. It's a very cool effect!
