35/365 - illustrated edition

1. Liza likes her Rapunzel braid so much, she wore it to the mall on Sunday. Thanks for the inspiration, Tab!

2. First "kill time until dad gets home by drawing with chalk" of the year. Look, no coat! (it was almost 50F) You can see my mailbox! And the snow pile is shorter than my child!

3. She decided the yard looked yucky and needed to be raked. And, unlike this fall, she managed to actually move the leaves around when she did it.

4. She can actually glide on the scooter.

5. Looky what "grew" in our living room today:
6. Brownie batter - 'nuff said.

7. Liza has finished the second (of five) Hooked on Phonics sets, and while she was waiting for the mixer to finish she read me the following sentence with only minimal assistance (like, "i-e says eeee" since she hasn't gotten to that yet).

I don't think I've ever been prouder of her than I was when she sounded out "brownie" all by herself. Except for on Friday, when she finally went down a fast-food restaurant play area slide. She was so proud of herself, she went down about 40 times in a row, coming over to do the happy dance in front of me every time she got to the bottom.

What a happy day! Looks like you guys had A LOT of fun. (LOVE the flowers you made. Can you plant a few of them in my yard? Contractors dug it up in November and it's just a big pile of mud now. LOL) It was nice to see her outside having fun. What did she end up drawing for dad?

P.s. - The Br-ow-n-ees look delicious! Well done Liza!
