Project Life: Week 2

Sunday, January 8

Both girls were dressed in their new corduroy jumpers for church. Later, Elaina helped me enjoy a bowl of popcorn for a snack. She definitely has "the Beck shovel" down!

 

Monday, January 9

The annual fruit and oatmeal diet started today. I prepared by packing my favorite mug and some Quaker Oats for breakfast at work.

Today's high was something beautiful and ridiculous like 56 degrees, so we took the girls outside after work. Elaina enjoyed her swing--all these many months later, she hasn't forgotten how much she loved it this summer--and Elysia and I enjoyed watching.

Wednesday, January 11

Another beautiful day. Josh made hamburgers on the grill for supper. Who would have guessed we'd be enjoying this summertime treat in the middle of winter?

Winter decided to make an official, if not obligatory, appearance:

My parents once took a picture that I kept on my desk at work for bad days. It was supposed to be of my sister's cat playing inside an empty Pepsi box, but as they prepared to snap the picture, their cat, Kuya, came up to sniff the camera at the same moment. The picture wound up being an extreme closeup of a very curious face, and it was endlessly amusing to me. (Perhaps would be better to see it, but alas, I don't have a scanner.) At any rate, this picture I took Friday night at bathtime amuses me in the same way. It was supposed to be of Elysia and her bathtime partner-in-crime, Winston, who always visits us and begs for water (why the bowl of fresh water he has available next to his food is unacceptable, I will never understand). Instead, I caught him in the middle of a meow. The look on Ellie's face is equally amusing and, as always, adorable.

We took the girls outside to enjoy the snow this morning. Elaina had fun exploring until she decided that swinging would be just as fun in snow pants as it is in shorts. Elysia kept a close eye on the action from the warmth of her carseat. I can't wait until they can play together in it next winter!
