We’re really settling into and enjoying the new house these days. The weather has finally turned spring-like (hopefully it lasts!) so the yard is blooming and every time I look outside I see a new plant popping up. It’s a little bit like Christmas because I never know what unsuspecting patch of dirt is going to turn into a present of a plant or flower.
My girls – enjoying a sunny afternoon on the deck. Notice that Clare has brought a couple of books outside to read.
Besides the yard, which really is lovely, Grandma T recently visited and brought the finishing touches to Clare’s room! We’ve found a theme and ran with it (and I mean RAN with it). I saw this rug online and decided that Clare’s room would be in the theme of Eric Carle’s Brown Bear, What Do You See? It’s a combination of Clare’s two favorite things, books and animals. She likes to point out the animals on the rug.
Grandma T joined in on the fun and made curtains and a bedding set in Eric Carle fabric. The curtains are in the “children” pattern and the bedspread has the animals on it. The room is very, very bright and wild but I love it. Of course right after these pictures were taken I rearranged the room to put the rocking chair in there (all the better to “rock a minute”), but you get the idea of how fun it is.
We have a wild few weeks at the Mac House – our usual April work travels will keep either J or I away from home for the next several days, and then we have a Memorial Day trip. I’ll try to squeeze in another blog post though about some fun stories from the Land of Toddler-dom.
