I think...
...February just might be my favorite month in terms of weather. I love that we had rain and now it's really mild and altogether wonderful. If we had a hammock I'd probably be tempted to lounge around outside all day. I hope March will bring more of the same.
Ah, the look of fascination. Aidan wanted to smash that poor snail and it was a good thing he asked me before he did it. It crawled all the way across their sandbox and then I caught it up with a leaf and put it on the dirt. My good deed for the day.
These days have been perfect for blowing bubbles. Mia loves it.
We found this little bubble-making robot at Target. It blows the tiniest bubbles and it would be cooler if there were at least three of them going at the same time. The kids like huge bubbles though so we need to find something does that.
Someone needs a haircut but is refusing. I wonder if his hair gets longer will it finally flop over or will it keep going straight up?
This is an 11x14 collage on canvas that I made last month. I used magazine clippings, old book pages, graph/scrapbook/textured paper, and a San Francisco map.
Here's the birthday card I made for my lovely friend, Michelle.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. Allan comes home this afternoon after being away all week at Minneapolis so I'm feeling especially cheery today.
hi michelle! I agree about the weather (I complain about it a lot but it sure is nice). awesome canvas and card!
love Aidan's hair. I think you should wait and see what happens... :)

That's a real cute robot bubble blower! We bought a bubble maker at Target for this one little boy's b-day party. And we got jipped because it wouldn't blow bubbles. I love blowing bubbles for the little babies.

I love how the kids are fascinated with the snail. It's really neat to see Simone fascinated too - and with the most ordinary (to me at least) things. Tonight she was fascinated with the tub drain.
That is such a cute robot! I'm going to look for it next time I go to Target!
