Sent this "scratch art" kit out to all the kids at my son's school for Valentine's Day; I think you can tell that we have a bit of a "free range" parenting philosophy from how long it took us to think some might object to us arming a bunch of 3-4 year olds with sharpened sticks…

Who wore it best?

We'll miss you buddy. 😿

I don't particularly want to make friends with gym rats, but I don't know who else will understand all my gym rat memes.

Today's #science experiment with the boy: dissecting a turkey bone to see the marrow where new blood is made!

TFW the doctor tells you your shoulder bone is dissolving because you lift weights too much.

PSA: It is currently pawpaw season. I found out about these things a few months ago and ordered some from Earthy Delights, and they are delicious!

I'm really sad that they are only available for a few weeks each year.

So, basically this permanent sign is advertising that all the sushi comes with math homework?

Burp cloth? Who is burp cloth? I am pocket square!

Gotta get that neck swole.

Sesame Park doesn't allow you to bring a Leatherman into the park, but they don't mind me walking around with these Howitzers?!

Clearly security theatre...

For two days in a row these vultures were hanging around in the same trees behind my house for hours at a time.

That's not ominous at all...

Not a bird, but when I was chasing down the Pileated Woodpecker, I came across this very sleepy squirrel and had to take a photo.

This was right around noon, so I'm guessing he had a big lunch...

I also found this male and female Eastern Bluebird pair hanging around by a nest near the river.

I have no idea if it's accurate, but in my head they are a breeding pair guarding or establishing a nesting location (though maybe they tried it out in college and it didn't work out, so now they're "just friends").
