Whoa! Looking back on these pictures, we had a BUSY and FUN week! Last weekend we ventured out to the zoo with our favorite neighbors. The weather was pretty warm (in the 50's) and all the animals were out having a great time. Here are Violet, Willa and their friend Ella.
The girls watching the giraffes.
Our little ray o' sunshine!
Pretending to take a nap. Aw.
Violet also got to celebrate her birthday at preschool today, and I got to volunteer. It really is so fun to hang out with all these amazing little kiddos! Here is Violet making play-doh cookies with her friend:
For how much she wants to paint at home, I'm surprised she doesn't spend all morning at the painting easels at school!
Song time! I think this was during the "If you're sad and you know it..." part of the song :)
She got to wear her special birthday crown for snack time. Later we had pink cupcakes with pink frosting and *gasp* pink sprinkles. She decorated them herself.
After school we headed down to the Stock Show with Uncle Trent. She got to take a ride on Dolly the paint pony:
And use dry-erase markers on a van (hopefully she doesn't decide to do this again on our cars with a Sharpie) - among other things like watching lots of cool animals!
No wonder she fell fast asleep on the ride home!
In other news, she wrote her NAME today!!! I am so proud of her! Funny: for the last 3 days when she says "I'm going to write my name!" she writes T O E. Those three letters are in her name, but just so funny that she really did think she was writing it! Luckily she also seemed excited that TOE spelled out a word too :)
And some more artwork. I showed her how easy it was to make a skateboard, so now all her people are skateboarding. Here she is skateboarding with her Grandpa Rich. If you knew her Grandpa Rich and how much he "loves" that all his boys skateboard, you would know just how funny this is! We're sending it to him soon!
