Here is several weeks worth up stories, photos and fun since I haven't posted in a while.

Lil' has a new game....It's called Ready, Set, Go. She gets down in a runners starting position and yells "ready,set, go before she starts the race. Last night the course was from the front room couch, into the movie room and around the couch, down the hall and onto reading rug, back to the front room and around a book that was on the floor and then jumped over a shoe string. That was her route...she made it all on her own. Each time Mr. Eleven or Mama did the course another step was added....pick up the ball and put it under a kitchen chair or roll from one side of the room to the other, etc. It was hilarious, and both cameras were out of batteries! Darn.

Art Projects....

These hang proudly around Lil's room.

Mama helped Lil' make a street light using all kinds of stuff from the craft box including tissue paper, scrap book paper, felt and foam pieces and stickers. Lil' favorite part was putting glue on the page.

On the left is a project from Kids' Art. She used chunks of lemon and a toy car to paint.


This CD Sparkely was this weeks project. She colored the CD's and the teacher strung them together. Mama was instructed to hang them "here" as soon as we got home.

Last Saturday's project was "Junk Mosaics".

This morning we took Lil' on a hike in the foothills. Belle got excited about a mile before we arrived at the parking lot because she recognized what was going to happen. Not too far into the walk we came across a good spot for pictures. A hiker going the other way offered to take a picture with all of us. Too bad the girls aren't looking at the camera!

Swinging at the park at the end of the hike. "Higher Daddy, higher!"

The best part of the morning....climbing on piles of bark.
