When Kellen was a little guy he ate whatever I gave him, and he really liked peas. He would clean his tray and say "mo wittle gween bawws!" I've been offering Ellary more and more table food, and today for lunch she had a tray full of "little green balls." She immediately went after them, probably because they are an interesting color. She seemed to like them, but she still preferred the mashed up veggie baby food that I gave her once she started slowing down on the peas.
Ring my bell - chime in!

Little Green Balls

EB has something to say:
She says it when she drops something or when she's working on her "craft project" (this is Kellen's term for making a dirty diaper, which he says is the only thing she knows how to make... too cute!).

I've Got Spirit, How 'Bout You?
This week was spirit week for Kellen's preschool class and there was lots going on! He usually goes to school three days a week, but his teacher invited him to come for the whole week so he could participate in their 100th Day of School and Valentine's Day celebrations. So I got a tiny glimpse of what it will be like to be without him for part of the day every day of the week! Anyway, for spirit week the kids had to dress differently each day - class color day, team sport day, mixed up clothing day, red for Valentine's Day, and today was crazy hair day. It has been a bit of a struggle to convince Kellen to participate in some of these, especially mixed up clothing day and crazy hair day. He wasn't too excited about looking different and heading off to school. For mixed up day he conceded to wear two different socks, and he said he was mixed up but it was a secret. He agreed to do the crazy hair thing only if I would let him spray it red and silver. I totally forgot to get the colored hair spray, so he was sad about that this morning. I convinced him to let me put lots of product in his hair and give him a little mohawk instead. He agreed it was cool since it made him look like a real drummer... ;) I think it's cute! Would have been cuter with red and silver spikes...

Be My Valentine
So I usually have the kids do finger painting for Valentine's Day and we dip chocolate strawberries. I've just been so frazzled lately that I'm not doing it. Crayons and paper and some paper doilies from the cabinet are the best I can do this year. So here are some pictures from Valentine's past, when life did not feel quite so crazy and I was willing to let my kids coat themselves in paint. Maybe next year I'll be in a place where we can do more creative things again.

Ho hum
Tonight was the second of a 2-part class I've been taking on low-light photography. I'm not sure exactly what my expectations for the class were, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this. Last week we stood in a dark field and took pictures of pretty much the only lighted object in the area - a street lamp. Tonight we sat in a dark room and took picture of this - for an hour and a half!
If anyone is dying to have a picture taken of your favorite candle in a dark room, I am totally your gal! Call me! So much fun!!!
