Random Happenings

Random happenings around our home recently...

 

Lily loves these glasses!  She thinks they are hilarious (which I admit, they kind of are!)

 Mia rockin' her cowgirl look!

 Liz, Mia and I had lunch at McEntyre's Bakery one day; Mia couldn't resist this cookie for her dessert choice.

 The girls were excited to go bike riding one beautiful day.

 Zooming all around!  While watching them, we realized Lily's bike was way too small for her.  We picked out a new one for her that afternoon, and had it shipped to the house.  When it arrived, we tried putting it together but realized one of the pieces was bent and wouldn't work; they are sending a replacement piece.  Lily, however, was devastated. She cried for several minutes in her bed and then explained to me "I was so patient for it to get here and then it didn't work!  I don't know if I can be patient again!"  Poor, sweet girl.  We're still waiting on the new part, but I have promised her it will be worth the wait.

 Mia's drawing last week of Dr. King.

 Lily is servant of the day tomorrow, and they are supposed to bring a favorite fruit/vegetable to class, explain how it grows, have a fun fact about it and bring some for the class to sample.  Lily is very excited to bring carrots and tell everyone how royalty used to decorate their hats with carrot tops.  She also drew this picture today to explain the growing process.  To explain...first a small seed is planted, then it rains which helps it grow a little...next the sun helps it grow a lot then a girl digs it out of a hole and then enjoys it with her meal.  Pretty cute huh?

 Mia painted this picture while home with Liz one day.  It's meant to look like the beautiful lanterns that light up in the Rapunzel movie.

 Don't know why I can't get this picture to rotate,but I wanted to put it in because I just love that it says "To: My Mom."  Love when Lily writes "my mom!"

I also love that she is practicing her handwriting!  Who wouldn't love coming home to a note like this?!
