Rained over 1.5″ last night.

Studied Spanish, practiced brain training.

Penelope’s fourth birthday! Took the girls out to Cici’s.

It was great to see Miles’ parents again to this evening.

We had ice cream cake that she picked out. Vanilla on top, chocolate on the bottom, with crushed Oreos in the middle. Yes, it was as good as it sounds. Ashley wrote the wrote the word “SPECIAL” under Happy Birthday.

I got her a bike from Goodwill then went to Walmart and bought safety equipment.

I think she was really enjoying the accessorizing. Family is a blessing.

I replaced the tube in the front bike tire of Penelope’s new bike. It was a fun project, rife with opportunities for learning.

Also added air to Ashley’s tires.

I told her about screws and bolts and the difference between the two. . .I’m sure most people know that. And why you have metal screws and wood screws. I was getting her to understand which screw would have to be made of the harder metal? I’ll ask which material was harder wood or metal? Then I’d ask her which screw would have to be harder because of that material. It really is astonishing how fast she can figure things out. It’s very exciting to see young minds developing.

Very unusual type of zipper cloud.

Yes!

Jupiter.

New born moon.
