May 30 - Whidbey Island Fun

i promised to take inge to whidbey island.  we decided to take our mommas with us.  first, we rode a ferry.  we drove up the ramp in our car and then the ferry started to move.  it was very exciting.

it was nice out and not raining anymore, so we walked through town to see the art galleries.  inge likes to do that.  it was my first time.  i did a good job.  i pointed and didn't touch or bump or break anything.  i found a water fountain hiding in one of the shops too.

 

oma and her doggie stopped for a rest while i petted the doggie statue.  that's my kind of doggie.

then, we went to the beach to dig in the sand and hunt for rocks for inge to tumble.

inge and i are very good rock hunters.  oma and the doggie are very good at walking on the beach.  then, everyone took a little rest while i continued to explore the beach.



we had ice cream and i fell asleep before we got home.

Jun 23 - Spa Night with Momma

shampoo, cut, trim, blow dry and foot treatment.  well, if you are going to have a spa night, then you really should go for everything offered. 

yes, i would like some pink juice and mini crackers. thank you.

editor's note:  who knew late night foot baths on the weekend could delight a little girl so much.  she just loves being grown up. 

p.s.  yes, my t-shirt says "Cutie (symbol for) Pi".  what can i say, daddy teaches advanced math.

Jun 22 - Mommy School - Color Mixing

today was the first day of mommy school for the summer.  we are learning about colors and mixing them together.  i know that if you mix two colors together, you get a new color.  i just don't know which color.  so, today i used food coloring and water to mix colors.  i had such lovely colors in the bowls, i didn't want to waste them.  and, i was hungry . . .

which color of mashed potatoes would you like ?

the blue mashed potatoes were very yummy.  i added butter and salt, of course.  momma ate the red ones and daddy ate the green ones.

Apr 2 Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Feb 6 - What Did You Do Today?

here in redmond in the winter, lots of days are darkish and wet.  some days are sunny.  some days are dry.  but very few days are dry and sunny.  so what would you do on the first dry and sunny day of the year?

go to a park right after school and play baseball . . .

or play tag with daddy.  i'm it.  i'm going to tag you.  here i come.  got you.  you're it.  you can't get me.  i'm over here.  come and get me.  (noting the distances between the players, can you guess who is the fastest runner in the family?)

or play in the "sand" box.  first you dig a whole and throw in a pinecone.  then cover it up and give it a little stomp.

maybe a few more stomps . . .

maybe jumping on it would be better.

then ask Daddy to find your missing pinecone.

oh, on a side note, when you are playing around little people in the sandbox, its a very good idea to keep your head down, your mouth shut and your shirt tucked into your pants.  you never know when a little person will have a mistake and through lots of sand in the air.  you don't want sand in your eyes or your mouth or on your back (it's itchy.)

or play tickley troll with Momma on the bridge.

well, at least, that's what i did.
