Getting ready for my birthday party

We made rainbow pancakes.

... and tasted them. Hmm... do I like orange pancakes?

I do. I like orange pancakes.

We decorated the house

And bought balloons. I carried them all the way to the car. Mommy didn't realize there wasn't enough weight tied to the ribbons to hold them down until we got home and they flew all the way up to the ceiling. Good thing I held on tight.

Making Slime

Mix one 8 oz container of school glue with an equal amount of warm water. Add food coloring.
Stir.
Mix one tsp Borax into half a cup of warm water.
Add water to the glue mix.
Stir.
Play.

Home Depot Kids Workshop

 This month at the Home Depot Kids Workshop, we made a box to keep Valentine's Day cards in.

I hammered the box together. 

Then I picked out the colors of paint I wanted to use.

And painted my box.

Painting

Setting trends

Vivi is becoming more creative (and demanding) in her selection of clothing choices...

Today Vivi went to school wearing her doggy pajamas as a cape -- note the pajama legs tied up to keep them from dragging on the floor.

Elmo sweats and a raincoat with the hood on... it was 75 degrees and sunny out.

Three day weekend

On Saturday, we went to Los Angeles to see the Space Shuttle.

It was GIGANTIC!

It was at the California ScienCenter. What a fun place.

Yesterday we went to the beach.

And today, we went to the zoo. I ran all over the zoo and showed Mommy and Daddy where the lions, the elephants, and the monkeys were. They had no idea I could find my own way around the zoo.

A snake.

Feeding goats.

23 months

I'm 23 months old!

I like to wear my dragon sweatshirt or my lion sweatshirt. All other clothing must have Elmos, monkeys, or elephants on them. I like to eat burritos, blueberries and cottage cheese. My favorite color is blue. I like to dance and sing and play with Legos.

I like to pretend to sleep ("night night")

My first marshmallow - I was not a fan.

Smore's at home - on the range.

Gracie's Birthday

Gracie's birthday party was yesterday.

I had SOOO much fun on the slide

Sliding with Leo - look at my big smile

Building a birdhouse - at Home Depot's Kid's Workshop

I put the nails in the holes and helped hammer them in.

I did ALL the painting.
