Fun with Yogurt

This is how Sarah eats yogurt now, she completely refuses to be fed!
I'm sure she is laughing at the complete mess she has made!

Visit from Nana

Nana is here for the week (my spring break) and we are keeping very busy! Have had a lot of rain and really cold weather, but still managing to get outside a bit. We've gone out on a short, very cold hike at Mt. Tabor, played some tennis, been to the library, to the park, to the bakery, and to the toy store of course! We are expecting sun at the end of the week, so we will hopefully get to go to the tulip festival, the zoo and maybe a hike?! I have yet to get a picture of Nana with both kids!

Jakob playing tennis

Sarah, the ball fetcher for Jakob - it looks like she is telling Jakob something like, "Listen, I've had enough of picking up after you here."
Running super fast down a hill
Sarah, after she ran down the same hill - she did a face plant and had a bit of a leaf left on her forehead - didn't seem to bother her one bit!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Jakob was very excited about the possibility of "trapping a leprachaun" at preschool. Every year those pesky leprachauns make a visit to the preschool, usually making a mess, hiding their shoes and leaving a shamrock trail to a treasure. This year they did the same thing - during naptime of course! 

Jakob said, "They came when we were sleeping and left a trail of shamrocks, up the steps into the hall and then we found our shoes!" 

"If somebody would have stayed awake, maybe we could have trapped them, and got their gold."  Yeah, if only a one of those kids could have stayed awake!! Too cute.

"Do you know that leprachauns love to slide on a rainbow into the forest, that's where they live and they have a lot of gold. On the other side of the rainbow is a cloud, that's how they know that is the end of that side of the rainbow." 

"I think next time they come, I will trap one and put him in a net, hang it on a stick and carry him over my shoulder, to the forest to get his gold."

Honestly, I just love this age of imagination, he seriously believes this, no questions asked, it's awesome!! 

A Message for Nana

WEEEE!

Jakob's motorcycle, (from Grandpa Noel) is Sarah's new favorite toy!

Sar bear - or Sarah bear

That's what we call her around here, it doesn't just sound cute - it fits her personality so far! She is so darn cute and cuddly and so hard headed and determined to get what she wants!
Here are some pics I took of her today:

Here she is doing her best to get to the camera

Looking stylish in her stroller (sweater knitted by the late GG Dode and pants by Auntie Rebecca!)

Riding in the swing and watching the "guk" aka ducks


Climbing up the play structure - the hard way.
Sweet success!
Heading to the slide, head first

Realizing she is going down on her bottom! Sarah usually backs up to the slide and goes down feet first but on her tummy, not today - she's 13 months working on 2 years! Of course, she flew down the slide and landed in the soggy wood chips at the bottom, this didn't stop her from doing it over and over again!

Sleep

Oh to be able to sleep like a child...
