What we've been up to

Well, Jason had a birthday. I can't remember how old he is now. The girls decorated a cake for him. It was a vegan red velvet cake that I thought, with the exception of the decorating, left a little to be desired. But vegan cake is better than no cake at all, isn't it?

We've been playing outside. Stella was working with me in the garden the other day when she stopped, looked up at me and said "Big helper." Practically crushed my heart, the weight of love.

Lately, Stella's favorite activity is mailing letters. Is there anything there?


Yes! There is!


Maybe I should deliver it again.

It goes on like that for quite some time.

Here's something else that goes on for quite some time.


Violet is turning into a fantastic hula-hooper. She just keeps going and going and going with her thumbs in the sky. She's so cute while she's doing it. I'll have to take a movie.

And then, there are the things little girls just - do. Violet informed me that we are not allowed to pick the dandelions in the yard anymore so they can make seeds and we can grow more dandelions. Our yard doesn't have enough.


Auntie Tiffany came over the long weekend. Of course I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I should have, much to Tiffany's glee.


But it was a nice, relaxing weekend, and the girls had a great time with her. Can you tell?

Now I'll leave you with this little speck of cuteness.

Paint

Much like her big sister, Stella loves paint. How cute is this progression?
