Morning book club

With daycare/preschool closed for inservice, dad starts the morning at the preferred diner. Eleanor appeared much happier when the pancakes and hash browns arrived…

Perusing the musical selection

Des’ pick for the morning was the children’s museum. New smocks for water play meant Ella actually stayed mostly dry.

A perennial favorite-

While Des quickly moved on after dad reminded him what the plastic food was, Eleanor hung around to play with the oven knobs. Feels like this play area represents more of a safety regression than entertainment :/

Of course Des decorated himself as an astronaut.

Des blowing a kiss. Assume he was aware that dad and sister, in the car directly behind him, were joining him on the very same train ride?

Ella’s first train ride, loved it

The family that wrenches together, stays together

Some light dancing before Des began what can only be described as “slow-motion breakdancing”

New scenery during nap time, having framed the painting for mom and dad’s five-year anniversary
