Lo Mein Face

Last Wednesday, Eli was silly before school.
Aden went to Lancaster with a bunch of classmates for 3 days for a conference. 
They worked on projects and had meetings. 
After school I cuddled with Ariel. 

Then I took Noah to his first soccer practice of the Spring season. 
It was too cold to be outside but Noah had fun. 
Dori came with Ollie. We walked him around. 


Let’s get in the warm car!
Last Thursday, I went shopping. I always park way in the back away from everyone. Many times I come back and there is a car next to me. How does that happen?
We went to get Chinese for dinner. Noah likes that Lo mein. 
Ariel is trying more things. She liked the dumplings. 
We stopped by Melissa’s with some Rita’s water ice. 
Hey Honey. 

The girls got silly

Wild Sky

Here's a quick post.  Last Monday, I worked with Noah on the latest Mark Rober science kit.  
This one was about the laminar flow.  When flowing water looks like it's frozen.  
Ariel and Eli did a puzzle together.  
I went out late to take out the trash and the sky looked really cool.  It was dark but the iPhone camera makes it look much lighter.  
You can see the stars but the clouds are what I liked.  

Last Tuesday, I made plantains. It was the first time I tried it.  It's really hard to find sweet plantains and I was lucky to get a couple.  They came out yummy!
Eli ate dinner outside.  
Then took a nap.

Cheer Comp 2

It's a very stormy Monday night.  We made it back from cheer just before the thunderstorms started.  Eli is looking out the window totally fascinated.  

Last Sunday, Amy took the twins to youth group event at Urban Air.  
I took Ariel to Central Jersey for a cheer competition.  It's a really pretty area.  
The team waiting their turn.
My buddy Jared and Bella.  
There they go!
They did a pretty good job.  
Ariel had small fall.   

Go girls!
They came in second!  Not too bad!
We stopped by our favorite farmer's market.  
Yum!
We brought some goodies home.  
Aden's friend came to dinner and Aden made chicken cutlets.  He did a great job!

Bev's Big Party

Last Saturday was quiet during the day.  Eli and I played some basketball.  

That night was Bev's sort of surprise 50th birthday party.  We went early to help set up.  Johnson's Popcorn!
Beautiful flowers.  Mom did a great job with the decorations.  
How is she 50?
Surprise!  She knew about the party but not all the guests.  
Hugging her oldest nephew.  
High school friends!  I hadn't seen them in 30 years and they all thought I looked good so I'm happy with that!
It was a great crowd.  

Everyone had fun catching up.  

Cake time!

There were college friends and ballet friends.  


Lots of cousins.  
The boys got a little wild.  
Nice family pic with the birthday girl.  

We met up with friends at Parx to celebrate Alison's 40th.
