Great Weather

The weather has been nice lately (especially today!) so we've been out and about a little bit.  And Claire has been super cute...like usual.  She is finally playing on her own a little more without needing me to start (and continue) her play. One of the things she loves is her pom poms and easter eggs.  She is LOVING having her daddy home every night.  There is nothing like chillin on the couch with him and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Aren't they cute?!  And the blanket on the head thing is all Claire.  When we're driving and it's bright, she puts the blanket on her head...and falls asleep. I'm sure it looks great to the other drivers.

And one of my favorite things this stage is the way she says things and puts things together. It's fun to hear her talk (especially when it's to her toys).  Lately, these are some favorite snacks and she says them so cute that when she asks for them, I say sure.  I'll be sad when she says them right.

 

 Claire likes laundry day, she gets to "help" me sort and then play with the laundry baskets.  On Monday, she wanted to sit in the laundry baskets and have them "closed".  She sat in there for a while reading her "Panklin" (Franklin) book.

We love park days! Claire loves when there are other kids there that she knows (and are her size).  She climbs on everything and can climb and go down slides over and over. We spent a little over 2 hours at the park today and she was only slightly willing to go back home. Because of her love of playing outside forever, she takes a good nap on Wednesdays.

Saturday we went to the wharf to get a caramel apple and because Claire wanted to see the sea lions.

Now this is just sad.  I went to get some zucchini for a recipe and I was expecting what we normally have in Idaho.  I mean even an inexperienced gardener can grow a massive zucchini.  I saw these and I thought, "What? These pass for zucchini?" They are as long as a teaspoon and about as wide.  I was saddened for the sorry people of around here who have never had a normal sized zucchini.
