Chuck E. Cheese Breakdown

It has been well over a year since we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Lily unfortunately asked to go, so we broke down one Saturday and took her. Mostly because it is right next the the paint store and I needed paint, but I like to credit us with just being good parents so we will dismiss this fact. I have to say that Saturday at Chuck E. Cheese is a looney bin. Screaming kids and even louder screaming parents all over the place. But we survived and Lily seemed to enjoy herself.

This is Lily's interpretation of Dr. Seuss. For Read Across America Day they did a lot of reading from Dr. Seuss titles. She knows she "doesn't like Green Eggs and Ham" now.

The beach in February?

It has actually been warm enough this winter that it allowed us to get out to the beach several times. Most days we hit the indoor pool, but a few times we have been able to actually get out and walk on the beach and build some sand castles. Lily loves to carry her pink shovel every where we go, including in the car. She is also loving the swimming pool and all the crafts that they do in our community every Saturday and Sunday.

Catch up (Valentine's Weekend)

A little catch up here. Sometimes I think we are so busy that we don't have time to stop and look back at all we enjoy. It's been 70+ degrees this week, so definitely time to kick back and smell the roses.

The weekend before Valentine's Day we had a great time decorating cookies and going to the Museum of Natural History. We took in an Imax film at the museum that involved monkeys and elephants so Lily actually watched the entire 45 minutes.

I must also say here that Lily is the most excellent cookie decorator. She sits down and helps her dad with all the cookies. Mind you, she likes the sprinkles most, but whatever keeps her going!
