Cheese, Please!

I had no idea that getting a kitchen play set for Ava meant that I would have to clean up TWO kitchens every night!  The amount of dishes, utensils, pots, pans, and fake food that Ava manages to scatter around our house is ridiculous!  I laugh everytime I find a hamburger patty under the couch, or a fried egg in our bed.  It's almost like a game to see what food items I can locate when I sweep our floors.

Today, she set up her table and "bench" like she was having a picnic.  I really enjoyed the fact that she put a banana and a bunch of grapes in the coffee pot.  Even with all of the fake food she has, today all she wanted to do was chew on a piece of cheese.  Anyone who knows me, will know that this could be a sign that she is definitely MY daughter! :)  And to make it a little more sweet, she was saying a big ol' "Cheeeeese!" as I was attempting to take her picture.




It was a beautiful day here in Minnesota...most of the snow has melted from our front yard.  I am quite happy to see the brown, mushy grass, though...spring is really, truly almost here!  The next thing we need is a good rain to wash all of the winter guck away.  And THEN, we can get busy planting flowers and enjoying the sunshine. 

Ava and Scott did spend a fair amount of time outside today.  Scott was working on a truck, and Ava had a blast in the backyard playing in her little house, pulling the wagon around, and creating chalk designs all over the sidewalk.  Needless to say, she fell asleep right away tonight.  Fresh air to the rescue!

Northern MN is supposed to be getting snow tomorrow, but I am crossing my fingers and toes that it misses the Twin Cities completely.  I need the blue skies and sunshine...winter needs to be done!

I'm pretty sure eating cheese isn't what is going to convince people that she is yours. She looks ABSOLUTELY identical to you AND your mother both. Cheese isn't going to make the difference at this point ;-)

I too am crossing everything I can that you don't get more snow. We've had rain for almost a week straight and I've wanted to cry. Not sure what I would do if that were snow. Yesterday was beautiful and the coming week is suppose to be as well. Our garden and flowers are going to be planted in the next week. Cannot wait!
I feel your pain. I am constantly picking up play food and dishes. And the worst is that on one random day I was feeling nice (and energetic) and suggested bringing the kitchen and food outside to play with in the new play house. Now they want it out there all the time and now not only do I have to collect the stuff throughout the yard, but I also have to CLEAN it each day. Learn more my mistake. Keep it in the house ;-)

I've heard banana-grape coffee is quite tasty. :) And YAY for cheese!

Yeah- that snow on Monday? We got it up at my parents... but it was all gone by the end of the day.

Bricks and Birthdays

Last Sunday, G and I headed off to the Minneapolis Brick Convention to see everything LEGOs! Ever since I bought the tickets, months ago, he couldn't wait to check it out. I was so happy that it was held at a location not too far from home, because it was snowing as we were driving there. Overall, it was a pretty neat experience. There were some amazing brick creations, and of course there was an opportunity to buy LEGO pieces! G has been on a 1980's spaceman kick, so he ended up getting Benny, the blue spaceman (from The LEGO movie), as well as Jenny, the white space(wo)man, as well. Once he had those two new pieces in hand, he was able to focus more on all of the cool builds they had displayed in the convention. It was pretty crowded, so after we were done, I was quite happy to get out of the building into a quiet car. More and more, I'm hitting my limit of "peopling" at an earlier point during each crowded event I go to. But, I did it for G, and he loved it! (I

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se
