Catching My Breath

Between all the end-of-school-year stuff and the stunning weather which has us on extended outdoorsy outings, we have been busy beavers around here. Today, the kids and I welcomed the chance to be at home all day and catch up a bit with the projects we'd been neglecting (for Lucy and Jasper "projects" actually refers to a fairly extensive series of things they play together that I'd be challenged to succinctly describe and for me "projects" mostly consist of making food and cleaning the kitchen). An enormous and constantly growing pile of laundry still awaits, but otherwise I am feeling a bit more grounded right now than I have in a while. You'd think since Lucy and Jasper don't actually go to school that the end of the school year timing would be irrelevant, but not so... Lucy's (too) many activities also tend to revolve around the traditional school year, so many of them have just finished or are finishing in the next week or two. She's performed in two concerts, one puppet show, had several potluck parties and last classes in the past week or two -- fun yet exhausting for all of us (maybe Jasper and me the most...).
Here are a few pictures from last weekend (before we have a new batch from this weekend - unfortunately, our weekdays generally remain undocumented since I rarely remember to take pictures...).
Love the pic of Jasper at a trendy Seattle coffee shop...

Lucy with concert doo and duds...

Jasper pleased at having his picture taken while waiting for his scoop at Molly Moon's Ice Cream.






Lucy's first dip into Green Lake this year. Love the beach (well lawn, not really beach) at the bathhouse, except for the buckets of goose poop... Yikes! Watch your step...


And a sweet picnic with friends afterwards...



It's all good, folks (and apparently laundry-producing...).
