indoor public play areas....

while meredith enjoys every little bit of the action
i try to protect her from the fast giants that dash this way and that in their care free fun loving play world. woooh!! someday meredith will be one of the fast kids and i will be holding my breath on the sideline and praying that nobody will get clobbbered by her either...

dandelions

today i went to the playground with nana and mommy. it was fun having them chase me and i found lots of my favorite thing there..... mulch! mulch is so wonderful. the little sticks are perfect for carrying around, eating, drawing with.... i could think of a million things!

mommy placed me in a field of beautiful dandelions on our walk home from the playground. the yellow flowers are beautiful. everyone should have lots of dandelions to keep them cheery!!

got paint?

finger paints are truly magical.... and messy! meredith enjoys learning about the colors and the texture. she gets right into it and is becoming more interested in looking at her work once it has dried too. she still needs to be reminded that we do not eat the paint..... but the colors are tempting. and we are doing it at the table with a bib on so i can see the confusion.

childrens center

the wonderscope children's museum was especially fun because meredith was able to 'guide' us to the coolest things there.... later we stopped at the local cabella's store and got to see the amazing 'stuffed' animals and aquarium. meredith was a little tired out by then and she pee'd on daddy while he was wearing her in the wrap :) awwwwww

happy easter!!!

2008-03-23

we enjoyed a wonderful easter with family in texas! the easter bunny was rather generous with the kids and he sure did hide a lot of eggs around the house for everyone to find.

meredith enjoyed tasting some dark chocolate bunny..... well she enjoyed the 'whole head' of her easter bunny. she got lots of energy from it and did lots of playing outdoors with her cousins.

it was so nice to be with everyone for the week..... it will be hard to go back to kansas city and back to the old routine. thank you for such a wonderful vacation and all the great memories of fun!
