Maia's Birthday party

My friend had a spaceship in the middle of her living room

I guess I never hit "Publish" on this one - from my friend's birthday several weeks ago.

Building "mouse houses"

Cake

wagon ride

Science time - looking through magnifiers

Downtown Disney

We stopped at Downtown Disney on the way back home from Grandma and Boppas.

We went in the Lego store -- so many legos to look at.

I walked down the street making Elmo wave to everyone.

But the most fun I had was dancing with Elmo.

Visit to Grandma and Boppa

Mommy and I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa (Boppa) this weekend.

Four generations - leading to ME.

We went to a zoo

They had the best carousel ever! All my favorite animals going around and around, up and down.

I got to pet real live goats.

This lion made music when I hit it.

This lion sat so still and let me climb right up on top of him.

On this carousel again -- I got to ride it three times!

Granny's visit

Granny came to visit last weekend

We went to my favorite place - the "up down"

Happy Birthday to Vivi

Happy birthday to me! Mommy and I collaborated on the sign

We ate rainbow foods

Played with rainbow slime

Ate rainbow pancakes

Made pinwheels

More slime

We danced ....

...until we fell down

This is the only bit of photo evidence that mommy put a top on me today. I got it off before the second guest arrived.

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.

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.
