My phone storage is filling up fast with kitten pictures! It's just hard to resist since they're so cute!! Here are a few "catch up" pictures from June. Owen hadn't played with Canton since the shut down but we let them start playing together again at the beginning of June but they stay outside (their preference anyways!). It's been sweet to see Willow joining them more (I think she's just looking for someone else to be with!!).
Willow helped make a bird house with Chris.
One of Willow's friends lives in the other culdesac in our neighborhood so we walked over to her house to deliver a cupcake and card. She had an awesome yard sign! They were excited to see each other for a few minutes!
The kids have loved the sprinkler-saucer swing combination!
Willow has gotten more adventurous in jumping off the swing! (slow motion)
We went to get free donuts for Donut Day and this is how Willow was sitting. You know you're deprived of "seeing things" when you can't keep your eyes out the window!
The milkweed has come back strong and the bees are happy!!
We've spotted one caterpillar so far!
Owen got this 300 piece Star Wars puzzle as a gift but he hasn't been interested in puzzles much. He let me walk him through strategy for it and was excited at multiple points in the process!
I'm super excited about my new school for next year. I've met with the principal twice and think it's going to be a great fit! I even got to pick out my own classroom out of 3 that were available. I haven't had my own classroom for 10 years! It'll be quite an upgrade from my 4' counter and table in my office before! Eventually it'll be turned into a camping themed room with flexible seating (picnic table, tent, log stools, camping chairs, etc.).
On Father's Day we went to Dunkin Donuts and Owen got frustrated saying that he didn't know what they had. In my confusion I told him to just look at the wall of donuts. What he was trying to say was that he couldn't read the signs under the donuts to know what they were called. Yikes!! Good thing we were due for new eye exams that same week! His "new look" will be coming soon!
Willow got a keyboard for her birthday and we've enjoyed an app that's teaching her how to play. At the end of lesson 11 it had her do a "recital" for others. She's doing great and already playing with both hands! (Excuse the mid-day pajama look...we're still in Corona mode!!)
Meanwhile, the flowers blooming around our yard bring us joy and peace!!
