Out and about

The kids had fun around Boston again today, back at Ring fountain and also the Kennedy Rose Garden

And also under some crazy balloon tree that I guess is a promotion for an exhibit at the MFA?

Hot stuff

From Newton Highlands day...

More Noah artwork

Reflections on First grade, by Noah:

"Symmetry, because I think symmetrical things are more cool than non-symmetrical things."

(Speech balloons:  shooter: I hope I make it!  Other kid: me too (thinks: please make it!))

This summer he wants to play in the dirt and go to Utah.  Sounds great!!

Last day of school

Eva made a special lunch for Noah's last day of school

It was a hit!

Bring on Kindergarten and Second grade!!

Farm visit

Eva and her friend Natalie really got into the farm spirit...

Best Eyeroll Ever

Goes to Frieda, who is totally not impressed with Noah...

Boston Public Market

Eva had a day out today with her best friend Natalie

Magnetile ship and shipbuilders

Space adventure

Oh no it's an alien

And a space explorer

And apparently some negotiations

And the best part is grown ups are really not at all involved in this game at all, other than refilling the tape dispenser and fastening a belt when requested.  The stuff they come up with and then execute on their own is really awesome to watch.

Lion life cycle

Noah has been learning about life cycles in school and bringing home diagrams of plant cycles.  I guess Eva has chosen to mimic for lions.

(It says "cub -> to -> grown-up")

(It is written backwards, mitigating my initial reaction of "Eva is a genius!" only a little)

Recital Today

She was awesome!

Rainy Sunday morning

Team Sequoias

Eva had her last kindergarten soccer game for this season today!

Dress Rehearsal

Eva had her ballet dress rehearsal this week so we had to get her all dolled up in ballet bun and makeup.

We then joined a whole gaggle of little ballerinas

She was so excited!!
