Breakfast in bed!

One day, while waiting for Evie to wake up and trying to stay out of the way of the housekeepers, Marea and I ate an apple on my bed.  She thought that was pretty cool.  And then I told her about 'breakfast in bed'.  And that we should get daddy to make it for us!  So the following Saturday, he did.  And now, every morning, little lovely crawls into my bed nice and early, and waits...hoping....and finally suggesting, another breakfast in bed!  Unfortunately, it's just too hard for me to pull off with both kids during the week, and not the same anyways, so we haven't done it again.  But I think we'll plant the seed with Gary and see if we can get ourselves another relaxing morning in bed!  Oh, and the menu was, pumpkin pancakes and sliced kiwi.  (It was on halloween, after all!)

And, Evie has a new song around here.  "A do do do, a da da da, is all I want to say to you, A do do do, a da da da, the meaningless that's always true".  She loves it when we sing that to her.  And Marea thinks it's hilarious.    Evies favorite foods right now...beans, beans, the musical fruit!  She just loves any kind of beans.  Black beans, canellini beans, kidney beans, pinto beans...beans!  And she like avocado now, and will gobble up half an avocado.  She loves cheese, my homemade minestrone soup, zucchini, broccoli, berries,  chicken, and the fresh fish we've been enjoying since Gary's fishing trip.  

Marea stayed home from school this week, she had a cold.  We had a great day at home though.  Complete with a giant fort, in which we set up the DVD player so she could watch peter pan, and glow sticks.  She really liked the glow sticks.  And we even made a cut out flower garden for the fort.  Sometimes just being at home, and dropping everything else to just play, all day, is the best remedy.  For all of us. 

Another fun thing we did this week was go to Jump N Jammin.  Marea REALLY liked that place.  It was fun!  A jumpie, a ball shooting pit, and lots of climbing obstacles.  She was telling Gary all about it last night, and everything that they are going to do when they go there!
