Xander and Clare

Trying on the crown that would eventually go to the
2014 Meatloaf Bake-off Champ.

Easter morning, on the hunt.

The Easter Bunny apparently knows what these kids like.

Any stroll from Boulevard Park to Fairhaven must result in Rocket Donuts.
It's a rule.

We also stopped at Village Books.

Back toward Boulevard Park to throw some rocks into the bay.

Xander pretending to be a professional athlete
on a flight to his next game.

Patrice came and stayed with us one night, and then
walked the kids to the bus stop the next morning.

Clare's not a hugger. Can you tell?

Watching "Frozen" late into the evening at a school fundraiser
that entertains the kids for a few hours so parents can go on a date.

Spring baseball = hot chocolate.

Luckily the sun came out a couple hours later for Clare's soccer match.

Pretending to be tired. This boy never gets tired, even after
pitching two innings and playing a full game of baseball.

"Good game, good game, good game..."

"Purple Lightning!"

Can you tell how much Gracie loves Xander?
(The feeling is mutual.)

Clare and Luna got to play against each other. You can see
how deep their rivalry goes... ;)

Photobomb!

Pretending to be the robot that's usually parked outside
the Black Drop.

Clare and I went to the Children's Film Festival at Pickford Film Center.

We may have snuck in one little treat for Miss Clare.

I asked if she'd like to stop at her school playground on the way home.
"Can we DO that??" Yup.

Inside the awesome fort she built.
