What Happens at Wimmers

It was hard to remember what exactly kept us busy this week.  It didn't seem that remarkable.

This week we spent a lot of time playing, as always...

I can't remember exactly what they are playing, but I do remember Griff liking her squishy face.

So inventive, this one.  Lip extensions and light sabers.  Hard to talk with, but lots of fun.

A lot of time working...we had 5 yards of mulch delivered and spread by us and some hired helpers in preparation for my friend Kari's wedding, which will take place in our yard on May 28.  She asked Griff to be the "ring bear"  and Eve to be the flower girl to inject some cuteness....and unpredictability... to the ceremony.  The worst part of the mulching was power weeding for several hours.  (Hurry!  There's someone coming behind you to dump mulch right there!)  The best part of the mulching was finding Mama Duck quietly nesting in our bushes and holding very still instead of fleeing when she was discovered.  (Hooray for baby ducks!) We also found a nest full of bluejay babies that squawked whenever the branch of their bush moved.

And a lot of time bleaching Willa's hair.  This is what we got after a steep learning curve with three bleaches and one dose of toner.

Tonight our family was invited to a "dinner" at the home of one of Alan's colleagues, which sounded fairly sedate and in tune with the Sabbath.  It turned out to be a carnival style birthday party including a food truck, two bounce houses, face paint, balloons, the works.  Well, what would you-a done?
