Since this blog is written for our mothers and grandmothers, I’ll start off by wishing Mom, Grandma, Auntie Deb, Aunt Pat and Grandma T a great big Happy Mother’s Day! We spent the day being fairly quiet in our family – neither the Mothers nor Clare felt very good today so there was lots of relaxing.
Here are some pictures that Adam took in March and April. As mentioned, I don’t feel great tonight so I’ll just caption the pictures and hit publish. His pictures are nice enough to stand on their own.
Adam was making pancakes one morning and Clare pulled her dishes out to imitate his cooking.
Goth Clare! Just kidding – she got a little wild one day during painting. Apparently there’s been lots of paint eaten this month.
A few weeks ago they took a “field trip” to a local fire station. The fire fighters were very nice and let the kids into the fire truck. G loved it, Clare, as you can see, was a little more reticent about the whole thing – especially when the strange fireman picked her up. She did make siren noises for the rest of the week, so the visit made an impression.
Adam captured this picture “yogurt silliness.”
She’s started to hold her crayons with a ‘penmanship’ grip. She also ‘writes’ sometimes instead of coloring. I think it’s a sign she’s a future writer.
Clarie and the Kitty. I imagine her saying “Meow meow meow.”
Painting time with G. This was the day that Clare came home with blue hair.
C + G = BFFs
Adam captioned this picture “Two rays of sunshine.” I love how it captures her running down the hill – mid-flight.
Not sure what the story is here – but Clare is playing in a pot of dried beans wearing her ladybug costume.
Getting very good at climbing on the jungle gym.
Clare the Ladybug at the Library.
Apparently she was crying because she didn’t want to leave the park.
My sunshine!
