Little Helper for Valentine's day

Miss L was my little helper today. She helped me makes tamales. Pork picnic was 69 cents/pound at the Mexican grocery store. So...I spent lil' G's naptime with Miss L making tamales.

She loved it. She kept saying as she filled corn husks with masa..." burgers with Barney smile". If you know the quote you must love Disney's Camp Rock as much as Miss L and I do.

We also made chocolate covered strawberries. Since Valentine's day is tomorrow, and strawberries are on sale, and I picked up some after Christmas chocolate and vanilla bark on clearance... A very kid friendly activity, and she loved drying the strawberries and dipping them, not to mention licking her fingers, the spoon, and bowl after we had put them in the fridge.

Don't you love the little tuxedos.

Sleeping Babies

This picture the other day, reminded me of this picture about 3 years ago. I love cuddly babies. I think lil' G is starting to look more and more like Miss L.

Toofins.

My toofins are coming in.

Beautiful Day

I started biking at the gym in the mornings again this week, so instead of going this morning I decided to bike to the park by the soccer fields, it is furthest I have biked thus far and my legs feel it.

It was unusually gorgeous weather, breezy, sunny, and billowing clouds. We brought a picnic lunch and played on the swings.

This one's a messmaker...

Miss L just got out of this phase...guess whose graduated into it.

I CAN...

I can decorate heart shaped carrot cake cupcakes all by myself.


I can tattoo myself with Cinderella.
I can hold 2/3 my body weight.

What can you do?

Fun with cupcakes

My mom got me this book at thanksgiving. So Yesterday I had occasion to use it as I hosted a baby shower for a friend in my neighborhood.

I was planning on going solely with the white cookies, but I actually think the black cookies look better.
