Lily really wanted to help me grate cheese the other day. She tried really hard, but the setup was terrible and she was bound for failure.
We made ice cream out of some of the snow. It was meh.
Doctor Lily loves to take care of all of us.
I braided Lil’s hair the other day. I was so happy with how it turned out. She made me take it right out. She is not into putting her hair up AT ALL.
I’m trying to do one of the photo-a-day challenges this month. I’ve missed a few days, but I’m trying to not be too hard on my self on those days and just remembering to do it the next day. Most of these pictures are from that challenge.
My pretty new purse.
It has been snowing A LOT here the last week or so.
Cat tracks in the snow.
Just about every time we head out to play in the snow I fill up a few squeeze bottles with colored water for Lil to play with. she loves them. This time we went out I grabbed one of the sand table toys, it was a ice cream truck mold. I totally thought the snow would release from the mold easily and that is so not what happened. After a few failed attempts of straight snow trucks, I decided to try adding some of the colored water to them to help hold the snow together. It worked well the first time and the layers of color looked cool. The next attempt was a fail too.
Lily wanted to make a diaper for her baby so we made one out of paper.
We went to the aquarium last Sunday and Lily used her new camera. She loves taking pictures.
Lily’s trying out her new cat ears I made her on Christmas morning.
Lily and Waldo at the Zoo.
Some of Lily’s buddies are having a birthday party with Lil’s new birthday cake set.
Nothing makes me think of Christmas and my Memaw than Poinsettias.
Lily’s cooling her feet by the fan.
Don’t even ask me.
I made Lil a Pink Birdie. She has an imaginary Pink Birdie friend so now she has a slightly less imaginary one to play with.
I made tomato soup for the first time and baked mozzarella balls to go with it. The cheese balls didn’t survive the baking process, but it was all still very yummy and super rich.
We went to a bar-b-Que at a neighbor’s hour and right before we left Lily finally started to warm up to the other girls.
I made leek and potato soup last week and froze the leftover for later use. We decided that later was this past Monday. To make the leftover special I made Parmesan fricos to go on them. They were super easy to make and very yummy.
While we were at Hobby Lobby last week Waldo bought a little balsa wood plane for him and Lil to play with. It was a big hit.
Lily is very much in the stage of life where she is very opinionated about well everything but especially her clothing. So I have decided that as long as she’s weather appropriate it’s her choice.
This is one of Lily’s newest paintings. We have so many wonderful paintings on our walls. Who needs to buy artwork when you have a kid who loves to paint? Lil says it’s a man with really big pink feet balancing on sticks. I thought it was Lorax trees, but what do I know?
