This week marked the start of Arlo’s mid-term school break. He used the week off to relax, play with friends, swim, get a haircut (!!), and spend some quality time at Annabel’s. Lucy, meanwhile, had school as usual — including picture day. She also got a new bed!
The highlight of our week, however, might have been biking around the neighborhood that’s riiiight behind us, but normally inaccessable. But they opened the back gate on election day, and so we got to explore!

For the last day of half-term, the kids brought stuffed animals for their teddy bear picnic. So Arlo's giant elephant went to football with him afterward.
