Cookie Seeds

Here's something funny Annabelle has been saying lately: A couple weeks ago I was making some cookies and Annabelle asked me if she could have some "cookie seeds", I asked her "what are cookie seeds?" She said "You know, you keep them in the freezer, in the yellow little bag, cookie seeds!"...I finally figured out she meant chocolate chips!

Finger painting

Annabelle loves doing arts & crafts projects so last week we decided to do some finger painting. It was fun for a little while but didn't seem to hold her interest long because she really doesn't like getting messy. Lately we've been going to special programs at the library and hanging out with some new friends we've made. We went to the IMAS (science and art museum) with our friends one day last week, Annabelle had a great time. I took Annabelle to her first movie, Toy Story 3, last week & she totally loved it. I bought her a small popcorn and sprite and she just sat in her chair enjoying the movie the whole time. I was so proud that she could sit through an entire movie! She definitely wants to go back and see another movie again!

Dairy Cow Milking

Today Annabelle & I watched a dairy cow being milked and a presentation on dairy farming. Annabelle really enjoyed it and it explained where our milk comes from and what it is used for. The silly Farmer even tried to squirt us with milk! Annabelle said it was fun but she sure thought the cow was stinky!

Koozie Project

I've been working on some cute koozies lately to hold our cold drinks down here in hot, hot South Texas! Koozies can be fashionable!

Super Hero!

Annabelle decided she was going to dress like a super hero the other day. Here are some pics of her super hero get-up. Check out the green fuzzy hat! I love it! And she was "hiding" behind my curtains so I couldn't find her!

Backyard Friends

Tim & Mary brought us some seed to plant a "Royal Poinciana" tree. Justin & I planted them and put some of the pots on the patio, I also planted some basil and put it out on the patio (hoping it would be ready when the tomatoes I'm growing are ripe). We noticed the pots have been dug in each morning when we look out on the patio so last night I decided to check on the pots to see if I could find out who keeps disturbing them. I was really surprised to find a toad in the pot hunkered down. I scared him away and checked a few minutes later, he was in the next pot! It was so funny! I also found an extra large walking stick hanging out on the patio. We have some of the weirdest creatures down here!
