Genevieve, laughing hysterically, "Why am I so hilarious!?"

My yard thinks it's spring

And it's in for a rude awakening today. My tulips are trying to come up and the purple flowers that bloom all over my yard every year are making an appearance. Stay asleep little flowers! The world isn't safe for you yet.

Genevieve cut her hair again

She has long thick beautiful hair. But she hates caring for it. So today we had it all cut off. She had more than enough to donate so we will send it to Locks of Love.

Starting the day off right

The girls got Starbucks gift cards for Christmas.

At the bookstore

Ancient Greek Paper Dolls

Knitted dish clothes

There is something very fun about these. Probably the fact that each one took about a day. I've only been knitting a couple months and I'm still slow. So this is as close to instant gratification as I can get.

Chirstmas yummies

Charcoal

Today we did some simple charcoal drawings. When the girls are learning a new medium, I tell them to draw flowers. They are something simple that can be complicated or can be imaginary and don't have to be realistic at all. There is a lot of freedom there and if things turn out badly, it's still a flower.
