We thought Jonathan was fully recovered from the croup - wrong - 5 minutes into the drive to school he started coughing, by the time we got to downtown Los Gatos he'd thrown up 3 times....I turned the car around and headed back up the hill towards home.

Once he was cleaned up he was fine, but, he couldn't go to school - so - we had an impromptu stay at home day.

Last week at school the boys had made pine cone bird feeders - so - during a walk in the woods with Bill, Benjamin found an armful of pine cones. I added strings to them and the boys painted them with peanut butter and stuck bread to them.

The dogs were very interested in the project....



Jonathan was very proud of his pine cone (yes, that is peanut butter on his shirt)




Once they were done we hung them on the nectarine tree.



We filled the pool with water and added a bottle of baby wash - the boys had a blast playing in the bubbles and having bubble fights.
