Currently packing to go back to Colorado.

I think Calvin misses his grandmothers already.

Calvin hasn’t had breakfast yet but he’s so happy playing on the porch I don’t want to interrupt him.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2010 7:29 PM
I think it might be time to top off Calvin’s sandbox. He’s managed to relocate at least half of it elsewhere.

From daycare: “Calvin did a great job following directions during our fire drill today :)”

I think Calvin decided to only eat a little bit of breakfast so he had more time to play with his duplos.

From daycare: “Calvin loved splash day.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2011 2:54 PM
In other news, it looks like he’s moved up to the next classroom.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2011 2:57 PM
Calvin went straight for the duplos after we got home.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2011 3:02 PM
Calvin is now playing quietly by himself with duplos in the living room. Truthfully, this is the son I expected to have all along.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2011 3:38 PM
This is amazing. We’ve been home 50 min and he’s been contentedly playing with duplos the whole time. It’s a miracle.

I’m annoyed that repairing our microwave costs about as much as buying a new one (for a handle and part of a door).

I pretended to pout after Calvin refused to hug me and he said, “No, don’t be sad.”

We have a peacock in our backyard . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2014 1:16 PM
I did not realize those were native to Colorado.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2014 1:33 PM
Called animal control to tell them I had a peacock. They said, “Oh, interesting.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2014 1:53 PM
What I find particularly strange is Willow is out in the yard and both she and the peacock are ignoring each other.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2014 2:30 PM
The peacock appears to have escaped, at least for now.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2014 2:48 PM
It’s back . ..
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2014 3:52 PM
The peacock does not want to be caught. It is now on the neighbor’s roof.

At this point, the only way I’ve found to get Julian to eat well is sit in a fully darkened room.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2015 2:58 PM
It’s still a bit iffy in a dark room but not quite so bad.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2015 3:58 PM
Story time @MyHPLD’s Erie library!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2015 6:10 PM
@calvinsdad is making supper tonight! I’m very excited.

We have reached the stage where Julian is tall enough to kick the seat in front of him :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jun 21, 2021 7:24 PM
It fits!

In retrospect, consider the 90+ temp today, it maybe wasn’t a good day to take my lunch break at park. However, we found shade at the second park we went to.
