End of Spring...

 

Work in the form of manual labor.
Almost every end of spring it seems, we are busy with the start of summer camps and the business of repair and cleaning.


The family business!
With the rental returned.
We got down to the dirty business of cleaning up the left over dirt!

Stairs usually need a lot of attention.

Windows.


The kitchen floor!
Oh, the kitchen floor.'
Especially the grout!

All 3 kids learning the fun trade of housekeeping.
This continues to inform how they value a clean house and a clean place.
I think that they understand the value of "clean" more.

Break time.
Walk to food.

Dinner.

***

Next day.
More windows

Dirty stair water.

***

In between:
Magic time with Mama.
Gelato, please.


*****

A meeting with her advisor.

*****

At home...
A culinary experiement.



Ét voilá.
Orange juice confections.

***

Around the house.
Her drawers and shelves are dioramas full of dinos.

Working on robot programming.
For off-season stuff.

Coffee with a good friend!

Random selfie?

A finished canvas.

*****


Off to pick up sister from a summer camp.

... for gelato!

*****

It's that time of year again.
Sweep...

Tile...

Random...

Lay out the plastic...

Framed and ready to fill...

Filling...

Attaching various fittings...

Almost ready!
And now we wait...

***

Meanwhile...
Candy coated insanity.
Look at the size of her eyes.

Celebrating Dada!

A Celebration at Home.

On Miss's actual birthday day.
It's a nice relaxing day at home.

Coffee Art!
One of the best kinds of art.
Yes, please.

Sister set up a big elaborate dino-exploration.

She had bought miniatures and candies and had a whole storyline.
A missing dinosaur had the code to this lockbox.
And birthday Miss was on a mission to find the missing dino.



birthday crêpes!

On the way she finds dinos in all sorts of places, in all sorts of situations.
