children's museum

in july we discovered the children's museum. it's actually less of a museum and more of a giant indoor playground. lilyanna loved it and we had a great time.

 sliding! her favorite.....
 playing with big shapes.....
 catching catfish.....
 "L" is for lilyanna!
 doing food puzzles with daddy.....
 feeding balls into this thing that twisted them up to a shoot where they fell back down.....
 trains! lilyanna loves trains!
it is definitely a fun place, especially when it is a bazillion degrees outside!

random photos from early july

we spent more than a few days in the splash fountains this summer. it was lilyanna's favorite way to cool off.

here's lilyanna learning to bake with momma. she loves to dump things in the bowl and try to mix. 
lilyanna loves shoes.....anyone's shoes. these ones are a bit too big, i think!

happy thanksgiving!

not bad for deciding this morning that we would have turkey dinner! on the menu was turkey breast and smoked turkey legs, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas and carrots and roasted acorn squash with butter, brown sugar, raisins and pecans. somehow in the crazyness of grocery shopping with a screaming 2 yr old.....i forgot about dessert. thank heavens we mckays love everything pumpkin and i had some in the pantry.....so i made pumpkin cookies! it was all so yummy. i need to make turkey dinner much more often. happy thanksgiving!
happy girl about to eat turkey dinner!
she said "horray!" when i put her plate in front of her. i was thinking the same thing!
 lilyanna got a treat (m&ms) for finishing all of her food. she LOVES m&ms!
 m&m colored face!
