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:
President’s Day. No Growing Tree. I went to work at the COLLEGE. I wore a tie so the students knew I meant business. Mom and I started the day off with a donut.
The Bigs had a Happy Thursday. Great turns on a gorgeous day at Bachelor.
Friday night we stopped at Laughing Planet for dinner. They have an awesome dinosaur collection.
And some pretty neat dishes. Moroccan Bowl: baked tempeh, harissa-braised veggies, apricot mint couscous, and cherry apple chutney.
My new favorite song is ‘No Sleep Till Brooklyn’ by the Beastie Boys. As you’ll see, it is very appropriate.
Cordy-Roy had a rough week. I put splints on his ear and paw, but his heart still sounds bad.
More NINJA training.
I take Valentine’s Day almost as seriously as ninja training. I signed 21 cards (actually 25, Mom didn’t like my signature on a few, so she made me re-sign them).
I made special Valentines for my teachers.
We had Emmett’s pasta for Valentine’s Day dinner. YUM YUM YUM.
The doctor told Mom – no more coffee. Here is her matcha latte. Yes, it is GREEN.
More pictures from ninja class? Wrong! I had The Bigs bring me for a post-skiing ninja session. I had some moves to perfect.
New variation on waffle breakfast.
Skiing in the 100 Acre Wood.
It’s steep, and yes, the first three times I screamed and hollered all the way down, but I kept insisting on going back, and by the end of the day – it was easy as pie.
