Chef Claire!
Claire got an apron and a kid's cookbook for a birthday present. She loves them and as you can see in the picture, she loves cooking from it and is very proud of herself! She made us little English muffin pizzas (with ham and pineapple on them). She wasn't actually as much of a fan of eating them as making them unfortunately, but Will and I thought they were okay.
She has also made (all with parental assistance, of course) applesauce muffins, which were tasty and she really liked, and last night she made dinner again - sloppy joes! We all liked them (except Sage, who refused to try them). And Claire liked them even though she knew she had put onions and mustard in them herself! :) (We don't usually have sloppy joes at home but she's had them at school and liked them, so that's why she chose the recipe.) Then: "Sloppy joes have mustard in them??????"

Matching Cupcakes
And they're even sharing toys! (the picture below was taken a few minutes before the first one... before the sharing was finally successfully mediated.)

Sage's hike
A few weeks back at the start of the weekend we were talking about things we might need to get done that weekend and Sage piped up, "Hike!" We said, okay, maybe we could go for a hike the next day. Right away the next morning she said to me: "Hike! hike? hike!!" So we went on a hike.
We all enjoyed it.

Birthday hike
We took a short hike in late afternoon on Claire's birthday in order to collect a few little samples for viewing under the new microscope. Moss, creek water, and a deer tick were all successfully collected.

Birthday!
Can't believe someone turned 7 recently!
She had a fabulous day!
Her first microscope! "I LOVE my microscope!" (direct quote the next day)
She also got an apron and cookbook for kids! Tonight she's making dinner for us, and she's super-excited!
Someone else found a use for some of the tissue paper in the presents, inspired by this.
