Happy little working song

So proud of herself!

Lily loves to help mom do just about any chore. She loves to sweep, do laundry, and help load the dishwasher. I hope this continues into her teenage years. Anyway, this reminds me of a scene from her favorite movie "Enchanted", where Giselle cleans up Robert's apartment with all the animals. Too bad I can't call out to the neighborhood animals for some back-up.

Love that little face.

J.T.'s Big Birthday Bash!

J.T. lives across the street and has become Lily's little buddy. He just turned 2 and we had fun at his party. Lily almost ate a whole big bowl of popcorn on her own. A girl after my own heart.

Still Snowing in April

Yes, it still snows in April. Needless to say, we are ready for it to stop. Today we'll have good weather but tonight and tomorrow it will snow once again. Will it ever end? This is the question we are all asking ourselves at this point.

This is what it looked like out my front window.

Out the back window.

Weeds and dirt

We have the most enormous weeds in our yard! We are planning to seed rather than lay sod so that we can save a little money, but the weeding is not fun at all. Of course Lily loved being outside playing with her little shovel and eating dirt! She puts everything in her mouth.

Hey Mom. Take a look at this weed!!!

Lily at the piano,first slide,and first ponytails!

Lily loves to play the piano. I can never get any playing time of my own. Every time I sit down at the piano, she thinks it's an open invitation to come and enlighten me with her brilliant technique!!

We had so much fun with Lily at the park a few weeks ago. I think the weather was in the 50's. I was getting a little chilled, but Lily absolutely did not want to leave. We can't wait for beautiful weather.
