My Little Legs

This is how you fit 2 humans and 2 large dogs on 1 very small couch.

It was Purple who had faith that it could be done,

she always manages to see space where no one else can.

Dots

Today during story time at the library,

the kids read a book about dots,

which inspired this art project: dots on dot.

Orin was very proud of his artwork.

The Purple House

I forgot to tell you that we moved.
We now live in "the purple house."
Here it is from the front.
More pictures to come.

Geeks

Today was part one of our Lichen Adventure.
My friend Jon has an assignment for his Biology class
to investigate different kinds of lichens.
Candace and I will use any excuse to go lichen hunting,
so after he told us of the assignment, we decided to join in the fun.

Next weekend we are heading to a new location in hot pursuit of some
sexy, brightly colored lichens.
Maybe I will post some pictures of our findings
(if you are lucky).

Cold

The fact that my fingers look paper white in this picture
is not related in any way to the flash of the camera...
my fingers were actually that white.
Why do my fingers turn paper white?
I get cold.
The funny part was I think it was 45 degrees out and sunny today.
You would think my fingers would hold out for a legitimately cold day,
but no.

Candy Cane Doll

Baba just sent us this candy cane doll per Orin's request
after he decided that his Blue Man needed a buddy.
Orin and Blue Man met "Dolly" over Christmas at Baba's house
and played together during our stay,
but when we left, Dolly stayed at Baba's.
About a week ago, Orin very politely asked Baba
to send him Dolly and today the 3-some was reunited.
Who said candy canes are only for Christmas?

State of the Union

Although I am not sure Orin understood much from the

State of the Union Address, he did enjoy the clapping part.
And he said of Obama,
"I like 'um... I like O-bam-wa..."
What can I say, the kid has good taste.
