went to the park

dirty house.

morning snuggles on the couch.

this is what i love.

teddy explaining to me what is going on...

super TED!!!!

he enjoys that.

polly was a  ballerina

she might have put her leotard on a smidge crooked?

its been a week... almost a week... over a week?

her room is still clean!!! wooo hooo! go her. she has had bits of reminding here and there but for the most part, i am one proud mama!!

oh, minus the bed... but thats cause there is a fort built a top it.

plus... who makes their bed?! not me... well, not regularly anyway.

i got these for her at target, in the garden sectoin last spring. i just thought they would be cute. so i hung them across her curtain rod. they are her "floating lanterns"

"mom, stop taking pictures and lets play school..."

teaching me how to make a rainbow.

then i stopped.

then later i took more.

these are the "boring white parts of toys" i had mentioned before, that she "only colored on them to make them colorful and beautiful!"

she found this little pic once. it is her favorite. she keeps it on her bookshelf. i think its darling of her.

it was so nice out!!! so later, after quiet time, we went out for lunch then to the park. i love the area i live in. so close to so many fun little family/ locally owned businesses. tons of cute little cafes, lunch shops, boutiques, antique stores... aaah. so lovely.

upon entering this place polly asked "but i just want vegetables... do they have that here? what about vegetable soup?"

he seems to keep thinking this is the proper way.... how many times can i correct him before he gets it?!

friend making.

grass hill rolling downing

 he tried to act too cool... i made him do it. and he enjoyed himself.

oh look dad, you have a piece of something right here...

tree climbing.. sorta

 on a later day, ashlee and i had a fun date. one of our activities was to find her a fish. she chose this sad little guy. we called polly for a name. its pointer.

saying hello to his new brothers
