Photos of the week: April 16

Posted in Photo of the weekTagged , , 24 Comments

It was just 2 weeks ago that my daughter started paddle boarding with my brother. Now he’s got her paddling on her own, albeit sitting down. I feel like I can completely endorse and celebrate that while complaining that time is going too fast.

The one time in a fortnight (thank you, Ally Bean for reminding me of that word) Mr. D chose not to wear his Superman costume. But thank goodness – he still was able to fly!!
Proof that I take my kids to the best places…this is the viewing room at the transfer station (aka the dump). Seattle Public Utilities has actually done a brilliant job of making learning about garbage interesting by making games of what is trash, recycling and compostable as well as showing the life cycle of trash. A cool place to go — just in time for Earth Day.
When Superman isn’t flying, he’s putting out imaginary fires.
Friendship
Mr D likes to get up early in the morning and get right to work with power tools. We are totally ready for an egg hunt!

It’s nice to see that someone has a sense of humor about the price of gas!

It’s Cherry blossom time in Seattle. Yay! I think these three trees with holes the size of the buses that drive the street regularly might be my favorite. They remind me of wisdom from poet Mark Nepo. “We don’t have to be finished to be Whole.”
Someone wore his SuperMan costume every day this week. But even with the extra laundry (and one day he had to wear it damp), I’m all for it. After all, when we find something that makes us feel confident and strong, it’s worth wearing repeatedly!
It gives me a little heart hiccup to see Miss O learning to drive already but thankfully the speed and the range of this vehicle keeps her close to home.
Time for spring cleaning!
We actually went to a restaurant this week. A complete novelty for Mr. D who has only been out to eat about a handful of times in his life, mostly when he was 7 months or younger. Fortunately Miss O is always willing to teach him how to handle situations. In this case, how to close your eyes so no one notices that you are going to drink their lemonade.
