On Monday, Grandma kept the girls while I finished up at school with meetings and cleaning out my classroom and closet. They had to take her car for an oil change and walked to the park by the creek while waiting. Here are a few fun shots she took while they were hanging out. All of them are great pictures, but the last one especially makes me smile.
Saturday Hannah came running with me down at the community park. She ran and walked two miles total (ran 1 and walked 1, alternating by the half mile), which is fantastic. She's turning into quite the little runner, and I couldn't be more proud of her. Her gym teacher at school was even impressed with how well she paced herself when running the mile, which they did for the first time this year as 3rd graders. On our way home, she decided to be a turtle in the grass.

I've been able to do a little more cooking this week, to Charles' disappointment, since he doesn't always appreciate my experimenting! Last night I made a vegetable oven pancake from Simply in Season. It had asparagus as the vegetable and was interesting and quite tasty. It poofed up while baking (see photo) but then settles down as it cools a little.
The rest of this week has been devoted to my manic planning for the 8-week summer program I'm teaching (which begins on Monday, 5 weeks of the 8 are planned thus far) and to strawberry jam. More on the jam tomorrow.
