Working at the Carwash

While Daddy was in California last weekend, AnnaBeth helped me wash the van and she was such a great helper!! Mason sat in his froggy bouncer in the garage the whole time and was just as happy as a clam...didn't fuss at all!

Visiting Daddy at the Shop

We spent a couple of hours on both Monday and Tuesday this week visiting Daddy at the shop.

Waiting for Daddy to get back to the shop

Spending time at the shop is tiring!

We brought the tv with the dvd player built in to the shop but the dvd player part doesn't work anymore so AnnaBeth had to watch her movie on the computer. Kent took the dvd player that we replaced with a blu-ray player at Christmas to the shop today to hook up to the tv so she can now watch movies on it.

Speedracer!

Kent has now had two, yes, TWO successful trips to the track (both in CA) in the Boxster! No leaks, nothing broke....it performed flawlessly! In fact, it performed so well that he had to put duct tape across the front to block off a radiator (I think) because he couldn't get it hot enough. He got a race thermostat between the two events and still ended up needing duct tape on the front of it. Here's a picture taken at the first event by one of the photographers out at the track Green Monster. Here's another one: Green Monster. Here's video from the first event:

This was after Kent's last run at the last event before he and Jim got it loaded into the trailer to come home.

And here's video from the 2nd event:

A Handful of Videos

Here's a few videos from the last couple of weeks!

Art Day

Since the weather has been so nice lately, I had AnnaBeth do some painting at her picnic table on the patio today using finger paints, paint brushes, sponges, and a roller.

Neighborhood Cat

There's a new orange tabby in the neighborhood (haven't seen the one we usually see for awhile now) and this kitty isn't quite a year old yet (or maybe right around a year...still very kitten-ish). What we love about this kitty is he likes to chase the r/c airplane we have that Kent flies at the park across the street from our house. He must think it's a bird or something as he tends to crouch very low to the ground as if he's hunting it. On February 26th, Kent was out flying the plane and I was able to get some video of the kitty "attacking" it.

Volcanoes!

Last week a friend posted on facebook that she was making volcanoes with her daughter so I asked how she did it and it was super simple! Cookie sheet+baking soda+food coloring+vinegar=fun colored volcanoes! So after Mason's nap and AnnaBeth's quiet time this afternoon, we headed out to the back patio to make some volcanoes.
