Bubbles!

Anna's new favorite word--and activity--is most certainly "BUBBLES!". We ventured to the Children's Museum on Friday, and she was quite pleased to discover that, not only could she create bubbles in this wonderful tube-like apparatus, but she could also select their color with the buttons on the floor! Needless to say, she loved the Children's Museum...

Thanks for the sandox, Daddy!

Anna had such fun this weekend playing in the sandbox that Daddy built her! This was a bit of a belated birthday gift...we had actually gotten it in March, but decided to wait until the springtime yardwork was done to get it set up. Anna is definitely intrigued by it. She's still not exactly jumping in head-first, but she's warming up to it more and more every day and enjoying trying out her new "sand tools". She's not interested in getting all dirty in the sandbox yet--she tends to enjoy watching me cover myself in sand more than she enjoys getting it all over herself. Hmmm...maybe she's the brighter of the two of us?

Happiness

Grandpa AND cheese??!? Does life get any better?

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!

We just wanted to wish Mommy a very happy Mother's Day! Anna shared some of her Puffs with Mommy this morning (seen here), followed by brunch and some shopping for Mommy. This time next year, Anna will be making pancakes for breakfast for Mommy, right?

Take time to stop and eat the bluebonnets

Even though we missed taking pictures in the "peak" of bluebonnet season and so were left with a fairly meager patch of flowers for our backdrop, Anna didn't seem to notice. She loved sitting in the flowers, and particularly loved attempting to sample their culinary yumminess. Let's hope bluebonnets aren't poisonous?!? She did manage to pick a few (which is illegal, for you non-Texans)...let's hope no state troopers were loitering outside of her school watching this photo shoot. I'm not sure Anna's tough enough yet to do well in state prison...

Wanna join my picnic?

Does it get any more fun than a springtime picnic/tea party with REAL FOOD?? We decided to take advantage of the great weather we've been having recently and have a little beach towel picnic in the backyard yesterday. Goldfish crackers and peach-mango chips taste much better eaten in the grass off of a plastic teaset...
