My little artist

I picked up some finger paints for Lila this weekend so we thought we'd try them out today. She was a little unsure at first, wanting me to wash off her hands each time she noticed she had paint on them. I finally convinced her that the fun of finger painting was getting a little messy. 15 minutes of painting and 1/2 hour of cleanup later I began to wonder what in the world I was thinking trying to make my kid messier.

Arrrrgh Matey!

One of our friends just sent me this picture of Lila and her friend Cohen playing. It was taken a little while ago, but I think it really shows her "personality" so I had to share. She had good timing sending it since I just heard how she was picking on one of the boys in her class yesterday, poking him while yelled at her to stop. Such a little bully :)

South Dakota in July

It's a couple of weeks late but I'm finally getting around to uploading the pictures from Lila and my trip to Spearfish. Lila had a great time visiting with all of the Wolffs up at Wickiup on Saturday (you guys will have to send me pictures for her book). Sunday was spent at the new water park in Spearfish and Monday was jam packed with playing in Spearfish Park and visiting the fish hatchery.
