A random photo from Thursday - I had a long, catch-up phone call with JT, and Cora was such a good girl. She played in the play room and outside for the longest time, and when it was lunchtime she asked to watch TV. I thought she had earned it, so I set her up with a picnic lunch of apples, cheese, red pepper slices and celery with dressing. It was Cora's first time having celery, and I was pretty surprised - she loved it! She ate it all. Guess I can buy that again!
So, after Johnny's party on Friday we were supposed to go out to dinner, but Cora had missed her nap. She was having such a great time partying, but then she started falling apart and it was obvious that dinner out was
not a good idea. So, instead we ate at home and broke open Stace's birthday gift from my parents - the animated movie "Cars." Cora was really enjoying it - but as I came back in to the living room to watch the end with them, this is what I found. For Stace, not unusual - for Cora, definitely unusual!
But, the movie had quite an impact. Stace gave her the Lightning McQueen toy he had bought when I was pregnant - he was sure it would make a great toy for his future son. She LOVES this toy! All day, she has carried him around with her, talking about him and to him. Here, she was showing him her 'puter, and she said they were taking turns playing the mouse game. He needed to sit at the table with us at dinner, and sit with her on the couch. She even brought him her other quilt, so he could have a blankie, too. WOW. It's how I'd imagine little girls play with their dolls. Stace then got her dolls out, and tried to have Cora include them in her play.
Stace spent much of this weekend working in the garden. He dug up the old plants, and then worked in five bags of compost. We're hoping to have better luck with the amended soil. We had amended it last year, but our soil was so shot we just didn't get a ton of production. We plan to put in our winter crops soon - onions, spinach, carrots and parsnips.
And here's a few more improvements Stace made to the yard - he put up the plant pot holder my parents got us for Christmas, and my clothesline. Here's to the first of many planned DIY projects for the early part of this year! (As in, before Duckie arrives!) We also put away all the Christmas decorations.
