oakland museum

Looking for new things to do on a rainy day has led us to the Oakland Museum (finally). Eloise and Owen were sooooo excited to take bart into oakland. When we got to the museum, we had so much fun looking at the koi, running around the sculpture garden and acting sophisticated in the cafe that we never made it into the galleries (this time!).

banana bread and bathrooms

Another successful rainy day project - banana bread! Eloise was in charge of measuring and mixing. Owen was in charge of mashing. They did a great job! The bread came out great. Seriously!

Also - here's a little sneak peek into our remodeling project. Here's our old bathroom (in case you forgot how lovely it was). Here it is in it's current state. We've been taking showers outside in the mean time. It's actually very nice!

Tilden

We've been having a lot of semi-yucky weather, but with really nice days coming along just when we need them. Here we are last weekend on a little hike at Tilden park.

We detoured to see the baby pigs at Little Farm. This funny picture looks like the big mama pig is trying to eat Owen's elbow.

dress up party

We had another rainy-day afternoon today. What to do? How about a dress up party! Somehow doing all the regular things around the house is so much more fun when you're wearing a bunch of necklaces or tights and a dress for the first time. fun!
