Mishmash

Here's an assortment of photos that never made it on here. This post got kind of out of hand, but I'm just going to leave it a long mishmash of things.  

James created a Dr. Eggman costume with things he found around the house. He's a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. 

Reference photo of the character: 

I got my 1st & 2nd COVID vaccinations - it seems like Sam's been done for ages. I was getting over a cold that I caught after Leah's birthday, which delayed mine by a bit, but the Health Department got me in with an excess dose & was just incredibly awesome about the whole thing. 

We had our first post-pandemic illness several weeks ago (referenced above) (I think we might have picked up a surface bug when we rented out the bounce house place) and one of James's assignments when he was at home was to follow along with a youtube video to draw this picture. He was very attentive. 

Ridgeway Funday was virtual again this year - apparently one parent told her kid after last year that if Funday was cancelled a second time that she'd give her $100. She posted to the FB group asking if she needed to pony up, and the consensus was yes. Here Sam, Amelie, and Leah are watching the big raffle (I think): 

James did a homemade pizza bagel party with his old Unit A teacher & they all made pizza bagels (quite delicious with my pickled radishes! though none of the unit A-ers appreciated this fact when James shared it). 

Blurry, but I liked how serious Leah was about the "thumbs up" instruction. 

Leah and I made this darling door decoration for Spring with a take-and-make craft from the library: 

iPad time with brother: 

We watched the Ewoks movie and noticed a resemblance between Leah and the main character. She's wearing James's old Pokemon shirt: 

Cowboy boots and jean jacket on this day in preschool fashion: 

Leah walking softly with a Very Big Stick: 

It took a Very Long Time to get home from the park with it. 

At the park with Spark: 

At the park another time: 

Just another day in preschool fashion with a favorite color shirt, rainbow leopard print pants, and spiderman shoes: 

Video of the crab walk: 

Not many pictures of Amelie in this roundup!

James is as happy as his dad to break out the shorts and flip-flops for the warmer weather: 

Dancing: 

Sam had an argument in front of the Missouri Supreme Court, at the standing desk in his office over zoom. Here's what he looked like: 

Here's what he saw: 

And this is what it looked like to the court: 

Finally, and I include this one on the basis of "likely to be of interest to the kids if they go back through this much later from a historical perspective,"   

Okay, that's all! Maybe I'll be more timely this summer.
