cruising!

Down on the Farm

Mimi has the best yard toys. Harper is working on her disco remix of "Ring My Bell" kickin' it farmer-style.

Only my child...

Could eat a cookie with such gusto that it ends up all over her socks. No wonder I am proud.

Whatever the Weather

Playing in the rain :)

Harper and I watched from the front porch. The "bumpings and thumpings" of the clouds set us back in quickly.

Howdy Pardner!

I wish I had thought of this idea myself. Thanks to this trusty cowpoke Merriwether is much easier to get along with these days. According to Merrriwether, Cowboy gets very upset about the same things that bother her. He doesn't like to wear a coat, have his hat brushed, or find his shoes. He screams and cries when he feels frustrated and then he has to go "sit on the step" until he has calmed down and can apologize. Merriwether thoroughly enjoys marching Cowboy to time-out, but she hasn't had a tantrum in days.

I love that Cowboy!

We've been too busy to blog.

I have almost mastered Fog Hat's "Slow Ride."

I know...you're impressed!

Jammies!

Now isn't she cute?

Hmm....

Yes, upon first glance she is quite adorable in her little pjs. Alas, we cannot wear our pajamas all day. And that is where the wild rumpus begins...

"But MAMA! I don't want to get dressed! I want to wear new jammies. It makes me VERY VERY SAD to get dressed. These pants are giving me a wedgie. I want a shirt with NOTHING on it. NOT WITH A TURTLE NECK!!!!! Do I have to wear my purple coat today?"

She's finally dressed. Now it's time to brush her hair...

Where's Harper?

Peek-a-boo!

Again!

Spring!

Harper wasn't sure about the swing at first.

And then she started to like it!

Swim Lessons

Saturday mornings are now spent at the Y. So far she can get her face wet and kick around the pool with her floaty. She can't wait for Goo-Goo's pool this summer!
