Birthday Week

"Why have we never been to the Space Needle?"

A question we've heard many times in the past months.  So, the morning of her birthday, she opened a birthday "Surprise Adventure" card and we took her to the needle!

The highlight: "Riding the elevator UP!"  (not down)

A birthday Crafternoon with 4 friends + a babe.

Meet In The Middle

So fun to meet up with our dear friends. They came from the north and we came from the south and we met at the TULIPS!

Rehearsing a family of FOUR!

Oma, 2 girlies + a pink powder puff!

Fantastic Puddle Jumping was a Highlight!

Somehow I didn't get a shot of Howard and Diane, but they were present as well!

The Case of the Missing NUK(S)!

I spent the better half of my day looking for M's beloved pacifiers and could find them NOWHERE! I was quite frustrated and finally asked G if she had any ideas...

Can you see them?

...a little closer

BINGO!

G: I put them there so we could find them when she cries.

(long patience building pause)

Me: Thanks G.  You've always got a plan.

(NEXT TIME SHARE THE PLAN WITH ME!!!!)

Let's Play Dolls!

Live Baby Doll!

This was my baby doll's highchair when I was a little girl.

Nothing make believe about this little miss!

Funny Children's Book #2!

Funny seems to be our theme in books this year.

If your children are at all like mine... they will laugh and laugh!

Caterpillar Art!

G is totally into drawing these days and it's so fun to see her create!

After seeing the art above, I expressed my admiration of her well crafted caterpillar.

Her reply, "That's NOT a caterpillar!!!  That's a tree!"

Umm... it seems so clear?!

Oh dear!  Once again art befuddles me!  :)
