A couple of highlights

Arran has been on a three weeks school break and the time has flown by. It has certainly been nice to not have mornings so rushed, or our day so broken up and lovely to have him around all the time again. He is such a sweet appreciative little boy. I feel like there have been days where we have crammed a lot it, and days where we have hidden out at home. His mind and body are both so active these days and as much as I miss him when he is gone, I am glad that he is in school now, where he can get all the extra stimulation he needs.

We have had playdates and outings and generally hung out together. Last Wednesday we traveled down to the Bay Area Discovery Museum and met up with a friend. One of the first stops we made was to the art rooms where the kids got to paint and squeegee and spray on windows. They loved it. Of course, they had all of three aprons, so Bryttain wore one and they all proceeded to get covered in paint anyway.

Very serious business, Bryttain set straight to work.

Arran, double-fisted action; squeegee in one hand, paint brush in other.


Asia getting into it.

At the weekend we went into the city to check out an astronaut display, which was part of the Fleet Week celebrations. Arran's fascination with all things space-related continues, so it seemed like a good choice.

My girls! For some reason Arran completely refused to pose with the astronaut dummy.
