There’s always money in the banana stand. (Or free bananas courtesy of Amazon’s Community Banana Stand, anyway.) I think it’s funny that we were served by a “banista.”

Inventing Room
Today’s field trip to the Inventing Room was super-cool, both in the figurative and the literal sense. Cheetos frozen in liquid nitrogen, along with ice cream and “exploding whipped cream” made with liquid nitrogen. Definitely not your typical dessert shop.
Whitney
We got to dog-sit Whitney while Karen and Zach had a fun day in Denver for their anniversary. The girls enjoyed having a dog for the day. She went garage sale-ing with us. 🙂
Butterfly Pavilion
We visited the Butterfly Pavilion as a part of their Homeschool Day. Since Bree and Cate have been interested in insects lately, the timing was perfect. They enjoyed looking at all the insects and arachnids there. When we ventured into the butterfly habitat, we viewed the many cocoons and chrysalises. The girls were excited about […]

Pop Beads
Are you familiar with Pop Beads? My little girls play with them all the time. But they don’t use them as they are intended; instead of making necklaces or bracelets, they make ponies and people and then play with their creations. (Which honestly, I am totally cool with!) I’m not sure if they even know […]
Blokus
We have *finally* gotten to the stage where we can all play a board game together that is NOT Candyland or Chutes and Ladders. (Thank goodness!) #milestone #Blokus
Makerspace Buttons
Cate is super-proud of the buttons she made at Makerspace today.
