Dec and T. had great fun leaving their multi-colored chalk tags on a giant rock on Wednesday.

One of our new favorite places is the Marymoor dog park. This Saturday we put on our boots and raincoats and headed over to throw balls for Blue and watch him swim and run. What better activity on a Seattle March day?

Last Saturday (3/8) we spent most of the day with our friends, the Rice-Leith clan. We visited an exotic rat show, a purple playground on the edge of Lake Washington and a Mercer Island pizzeria, Roberto's. We had a wonderful time!

Eventually I will figure out how to rotate video clips!

Alpha is close to finishing all of her outstanding knitting projects-- ready to embark on a present for Simon and Eveline's Nathan Johannes. 

 

Declan attended his dear friend, Scarlet's, birthday party last Saturday and had a fantastic time. He searched for hidden treasure, made ice cream sundaes, ate pink cake and gave Scarlet a jungle puzzle. He is now busy planning his pirate birthday party and dreaming of a chocolate cake in the shape of a pirate ship!

Tomorrow we brave the last week of soccer where rules must be followed and order must be maintained-- basically, an almost three year old's worst nightmare. However, the kicking part is fun and the donuts afterwards are everything!

Declan adores shooting off rockets so yesterday during a brief break of sun (a Seattle term) we hung out with T and deployed some air rockets in between mouthfuls of cheddar bunnies.

I will be 27 weeks pregnant this Saturday. My due date is June 2. Declan would like to name his brother, Pirate Prince Ali-- we'll keep you posted.
