Good Times
With the girls being sick this week we opted out of our normal playdates, to not share the funk with our friends, and have spent our time just being together. I've asked Naomi what she'd like to do when she wakes up in the morning and then have let her dictate the days (for the most part). I was hoping she'd want to go to the zoo, the library and other fun places but all she's really wanted to do is go to the park. SO - the past few days we've loaded up our stroller and jogged to a few different parks in the neighborhood. It's been great! Nomi LOVES the swings and has been extremely excited to push Selah too. Both girls love it and I get to stand by (closely) and watch. On our way home we've stopped at our favorite coffee shop for a treat (aka a chocolate chip cookie).
Sellman Park in Madeira happens to be right off of Naomi and Miami Avenues.
Stephan Field Park in Indian Hill
We also made crayon cookies this week thanks to the inspiration of one of our friends and Kiddley.com. It's super easy, a great way to use your broken crayon pieces and it captivates and entertains a young audience.
Today Naomi woke up relentlessly asking for ice cream. After not having much of an appetite all week, I thought why not. I made oatmeal and topped it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nomi was super excited and gobbled it up. Moral of this story is ice cream makes everything better!

That first shot of the Miami/Naomi intersection shows Jan's house in the background. That's where Dax and I play every day I am at Time Timer.
/ I thought puppets made everything better?
// Oh, and I'm laying down a "First Post" since it hasn't been done in a while... suckas!

Oops, the pic that shows Jan's house is the one with the Sellman Park sign, though that is the corner of Miami/Naomi...

What a wonderful mommy you are, dear Calley. The girls look beautiful and happy despite their week of being under the weather. I made the crayon cookies with first graders but they were not nearly as nice. ( Something about doing them with 24 children at once!) Ice cream on oatmeal...now that's what I'm talking about! Mom C.

Hey Cal! Funny thing is my two babies are sick too (not that thier be sick is funny) and last night I decided to mix their medicine with none other than icecream to get them to take it. Sure enough they finished it all!

Was the ice cream oatmeal for breakfast? That sounds so good, maybe I'll make some.
I would have to agree that it makes things better, so I guess ice cream and puppets have at least one thing in common.
