The Creamery

Summer is almost here and to celebrate, we went to the creamery near our house on Memorial Day. Yummy!!!

Happy Birthday, Anais!

Anais turned 3 on Sunday and we had a small family party complete with a celebratory dinner of her choice - pancakes and bacon, cupcakes with sprinkles and of course presents.

Could he be any cuter?

Something terribly wrong...

There is something terribly wrong with the universe tonight. Ellen asked for "trees" for her bed-time snack. Of course neither Shawn nor I knew what she was talking about. I thought it was the plastic trees from Anais's Diego cake and that she wanted them on one of the left-over pieces of cake since cake, cookies or ice cream are usually requested. After a bit of frustration on everyones part, we finally figured out she meant broccoli which I luckily had in the fridge. To top it off, when she caught me putting a bit of butter on it sweeten the taste, she got very upset and said she didn't want any of that icky stuff on it. Now, this is probably the 2nd time she has had broccoli in her life (not counting when she was a baby and I could force feed her :-) so I'm sure tomorrow she'll wake up, the stars will be back in order, and she'll ask for ice cream for breakfast because "that's all she can think about!"

Parent's Day

It was Parent's Day in Ellen's class on Thursday and the kids did a music program and had an art show. They sang Baby Beluga which was very cute. There was some time before the presentation and afterwards so Anais worked in the classroom alongside Ellen. She'll be there in the fall and can't wait.
