Small Victories 5.1

It’s a new month !? I’m not sure whether to be thrilled or sad. Maybe both? Here are the things that made this week good:

1. A LEGO delivery. We’re assembling some Harry Potter LEGO sets and listening to the free audio book from Audible while we assemble and play. Also announced this week: there will be new Harry Potter sets released in July and they include LEGO patronuses and a Privet Lane set with a Dobby mini-fig!!!!

2. We’re reading Wonder with our bookclub friends. It’s just as good as we’d heard and it’s sparking lots of family discussions.

3. O is really enjoying The Last Kids on Earth series - so thankful for curbside pick-up from an awesome local bookstore that has kept us in the sequels.

4. I’m re-reading a historical/fantasy series I first read years and years ago, and they’ve released more books since the last time I picked them up, so I’m excited to keep reading.

5. E is nuts about these bee books.

6. I made a truly terrible poppy seed cake, but we had whipping cream, so we ate most of it anyway slathered with almond vanilla whipped cream. Proof, I’m pretty sure, that almost anything can be made edible with enough whipped cream.

7. This video.

8. I discovered that I can order my favorite chocolate chips direct from the company that makes them. It’s the little things.
