Not quite what the founders had in mind, but it’s the thought that counts. Did you know Arbor Day was started in Nebraska?
spring break buddies
how long before she starts doing crosswords?
snow cat
It finally warmed up enough to go outside and play in the snow this week. There’s a chance for more white stuff in the next few days. Good thing we’ve got lots of hot cocoa.
what are the elk having for lunch?
I love to visit the bison at Pioneers Park, but my daughter isn’t a big fan. It’s tough trying to convince her to do a little drive by hello. (I know I’m the one driving, but without her buy in, the way home gets kind of whiny.)
I’ve discovered that sometimes I just need to try a couple of different approaches until I get the answer I want.

Let’s drive by and visit the bison before we go home.
I don’t want to.
Why don’t you like visiting the bison?
I don’t know.
Do you like visiting the elk?
Sometimes, but I already saw them today.
Were they having lunch?
No.
I bet they are having lunch now. It’s almost Noon. Want to check?
YES!

I’m not sure what the elk are doing. The one on the left could be having lunch, don’t you think?
“Look Mama! A gaggle of geese!”
Last, but not least, the bison.
bella tells santa about santana
My favorite part of Bella’s visit with Santa this year:
santa: Did you write this list by yourself?
bella: Yes. I wrote it at home while watching a Santana dvd. Santana is a guitar player.
santa: Yes, I know that. You know what? He told me what he wants for Christmas, too.
then + now: coloring at macaroni grill
then and now:
fun at roca berry farm
One day during Fall Break we headed to Roca Berry Farm for an afternoon of fun with friends. Our first trip two years ago was so different. Not only was it freezing and we didn’t stay very long, but Bella was so little! Here are some pics of this trip with my Big Girl.
our abby cadabby is growing up
Here she was last year. Can you believe it? She’s growing up so fast!
my little bookworm
When I asked Bella if she minded if we stop at the library today, she asked if we could check out Fall Leaves Fall! They’ve been reading it in school.
I helped her look it up in the catalog and find it on the shelf. She borrowed my card and checked it out by herself at the self-checkout machine. Then she read it on the way home.
How long do you think before she asks for her own library card?
