Lately I demand The Bigs provide me with a science experiment in the evening. One night we made volcanoes.

Another night, I learned about the law of the lever. I can’t move Dad…

until I adjust the lever arm ratio.

I like to spend most days in character. Here I am as Rocket Man:

Army man:

Teacher man:

Hadley came over to play. We are total imps.

The Bigs made more great new dishes. Red lentil soup with North African spices:

and a basmati rice bowl with spiced cauliflower and pomegranate.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk…

A new session of ninja training started this week. I’m an old pro.

The warp wall is still giving me some trouble, though.

Check out this awesome shirt Uncle Chris sent. Best part? It will fit until I am 35.

I treated The Bigs to gelato this week. Just threw my gift card on the counter and told them to get whatever they wanted.

Friday night we decided to go ice skating. A 60+ degree day made the ice a little watery. We had to wait for it to freeze back up, so we decided to have dinner in the pub next to the skating rink. The chairs were old lift chairs. That was cool. The food was, eh.

Ice skating under a disco ball!

We stopped at a coffee shop this weekend. They had a lift chair too. Awesome!

The Bigs made lots of recipes from their new cookbook. Spicy peanut rice noodle bowl:

Pad thai:

Mac and cheese:

Breakfasts this weekend were smoothies and coffee cake, also from the new cookbook. Mixed-berry smoothie:

Sunday’s green smoothie had kale, banana, pineapple, and avocado:

Ready you are. Ride my chairlift you will.
