February Photos: Day 17
Me: Rachel, what are you doing?Rachel: Reading the recipe.
Me: Oh, what does it say?
Rachel: We need to put in lettuce next.
Hmm... did I mention we were making chocolate chip cookies? Not sure where the lettuce fits into that, unless she was trying to make them healthier. Which I doubt, since a little later, when I was making lunch, she said to me, "Sprinkles are healthy, Mom." When I said no to a sprinkle sandwich, she then thought a moment and said, "I'm hungry for hearts, Mom." I guess she liked her valentine-themed meals.
February Photos: Day 16
Puzzlles, puzzles, puzzles... yesterday morning, Rachel and Petra worked together to do 11 puzzles. The living room floor was covered! (Oops... I missed yesterday. I had the picture taken and picked out, but forgot about it until 3:00 am when I was up with Elijah.)

February Photos: Day 15
Rachel's new hobby - spinning, or "making yarn" as she says. Today we went with my Grandma to the community centre where the local spinning guild had set up shop for the day. My Grandma goes every year, and thinks it's pretty neat to see all these ladies sitting together and spinning. Quite a few of the ladies that I talked to mentioned how they like to see my Grandma come out every year. The lady above was very friendly and showed Rachel how to spin, and gave Rachel a nice piece of blue wool. I was intrigued by the spinning - it's something I'd like to try some day. Maybe Steve can make me a spinning wheel???

February Photos: Day 14
Today was Valentine's Day, and we "celebrated" with lots of heart-themed activities: heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, heart-shaped sandwiches for lunch, a red and white supper, and painting hearts on shirts with fabric paints. Petra and Rachel each made a shirt that they designed and painted themselves. We used freezer paper stencils, so it was easy for them to stay in the lines. Here are the finished products:

February Photos: Day 13
I didn't get around to taking any photos today. But that's okay, since sleeping babies are so cute. (Now if only he would stay sleeping for a few hours...)
