7:00 Drop off one crabby Ariel. Apparently she had a lot of caffeine yesterday and didn't sleep well last night. Huh.

7:15 Breakfast - blueberries, 1/2 a mini waffle and some hot cereal.

8:15 Put Ariel down for a nap.

9:00 Left (late) for preschool camp, I had to wake Ariel up.

9:15 Got to camp. I got the big boys situated, then I took Ariel to PALS. Ariel picked out a very fancy dress today so I took it off for play. It took her a bit to warm up, but then she got into it. First, she banged on her drum all morning (picture courtesy of Ellen) :



The she did a bit of painting (note Ellen lounging in the background):



And then she had a snack. She said "apple" and licked it, but I don't think she actually ingested any. But the goldfish she ate.



Here's Ariel playing outside in her fancy duds paired nicely with crocs:



Except for Mae-Mae, this is a whole new group of kids in PALS from the spring and it's a younger group. There are twin girls who were born in October and then another girl who was born a week before Ariel, so she's with her contemporaries.

11:00 After PALS Ellen demanded that I come with a new and exciting place to go to lunch. Jeremy had given me a coupon for a free smoothie/latte/bowl(???) at a place called Rush in North Boulder, so I suggested that. Ariel and Mae shared a strawberry smoothie and I had a fruit parfait with hemp granola (oh yeah, this place is very Boulder). Ellen got a bowl, apparently they are very thing smoothies with hemp granola on top (she gave it a thumbs up). It was very good and I think we'll come back. Then we went across the street for a mocha for me (I had a tired morning with taking a little yellow pill and no caffeine).

12:30 Headed back to school because Mae said she had to poop (she didn't) and made it there in time for Shabbat sing. Ariel sat on Ellen's lap, it was very sweet.

1:00 Left preschool.

1:25 Got home, everyone was still awake. I started the challah, then Ariel had some yogurt and cheerios.

2:00 Ariel went down for a nap. Adam was supposed to rest too, so we could do a bike ride with Ted this evening. He never did sleep, so we didn't go. Apparently I made the right decision, because both boys fell asleep in the stroller later on my walk. Anyway, I cleaned house and listened to Harry Potter while Adam and Alex didn't rest but did play quietly and nicely. Or so it seemed with my headphones on.

3:30 Becky picked up a sleeping Ariel.
