It’s anatomy month in the Blossom Room. We dissected a sheep heart! (Not sure why Aubry is giving me the stink eye.)
In other exciting news, I got a new bike! It has disc brakes, gears, and a shock!

I made a very exciting purchase this week: my own set of three whisks! Thank you, Nana. Here I am testing them out, making chili sauce for the bibimbap:
I also used them to make heart-shaped cakes for Valentine’s Day. Thanks, Nan and Pop.
Some other things we ate this week: balsamic, asparagus pasta,
and banana bread with two-ingredient chocolate, banana ice cream:
It was a busy week and exciting week.
After some saving and more waiting than is fair to make a five year old do (come on UPS), the remote control car I bought with my own money came. It is AWESOME!

did some serious construction work,
cat sat for Becky,
skied,
played dress up with Hadley,
made messes with Hadley,
went skiing…
