Cold Picnic

We had such a nice February day the other day that we had to take advantage of it with a picnic and a playground. The boys got warm enough to take their coats off! Good thing too, because it snowed the next day . . . brrr!

Sebby was adorable hauling Daisy around.  He said, "Mommy, can I be the one who supervises Daisy?"  "Supervising" evidently means carrying someone around and controlling their every move.  Luckily, Daisy loved it (this time) just as much as Sebby did.  She thought she was SUCH a big girl, playing on all the equipment.

Her favorite part was the slide.  She laughed and yelled "Wheeeee!"  She insisted that Sebby take her over and over and over.

Valentine Girl

In this picture she is holding up her skirt and saying, "Pretty, pretty!"

Not one; one and a half

Ready for church (and nursery!)

She also likes to wear a tie

Kinderbear

Sebby's school class has a bear that gets to come home with one child every night.  His name is Kinderbear.  The kids have to write about and draw a picture of what Kinderbear did while he was at home with them.  When it was Sebby's turn, he was so excited he could hardly stand it.  He LOVED Kinderbear.  It was so cute to watch Seb take Kinderbear around everywhere, showing and telling him things.  ("And this is Brownie.  Not a brownie to eat!  That's my monkey's name!  And this is my bed.  And this is Malachi's bed.  And this is our little sister Daisy"  etc.)

I love the picture he drew, with its meticulous detail (even the embroidered words on Kinderbear's overalls).  You can see Sebby tossing the cookie pizza onto the counter, and the side view of our two ovens with their racks inside, waiting for the pizza to be put in.
