Who doesn’t love flowers on Valentine’s Day? I’m giving away one 11×14 print or 8×8 square of one of the below photographs. Just leave a comment, I will draw a winner on Valentine’s Day!
Gracie’s Purse
Gracie and her purse. This is just about as exciting as the Gracie wears a clip post. Gracie has taken to her little purse and anytime we’re about to go somewhere in the car, she goes and gets it. And today she was feeding her dolly a peanut butter sandwich…so excited about this little girl and little girl things!
Moving bark mulch…
Someone has been hard at work in the backyard. Time and time again I have told Grant where he can dig…he’s getting pretty close to the line recently. Grant has been very emotional lately, at home and at school. Maybe it’s just regular first grade emotions, maybe it’s something else, but he gets home hits the backyard harder than he has before-even forgoing a snack! After an intense afternoon of of moving some bark mulch all around he came in and told me his feelings were hurt, because someone had told him he didn’t have an imagination. I assured him his imagination was quite there and quite large, one of the best I know.
…A little something he found for me to photograph (he had it set gently on a napkin waiting for days for me to take a picture of it):
…and Baby Girl, always coming in because of cooold hands.
…And I’m thinking that in February we will make our debut from the backyard!
TV Junkie
It all started a few weeks ago….
Rarely do we watch television at our house (we don’t even have cable or satellite), but we do enjoy movies. With the frigid cold temperatures I didn’t want to run with Grace outside in the mornings, so I dusted off the treadmill. I was worried about what she would do, especially with potty training I wanted to keep my eye on her. So, to entice her to stay in the room with me, I got out our portable DVD player and that was it. She is hooked, wanting to sit and watch anything all day long. Quickly movie, tv and upstairs became common words trying to persuade us to let her watch. Today she wanted to go upstairs, I thought to play or get a change of scenery…nope, she plopped herself right here in excitement for something to be turned on. I only obliged for ten minutes, long enough for me to clean up the room.
At least I know she’ll probably sit entertained on the plane!
