She's got an awful head cold and her nose is a leaky faucet. We're dodging boogies over here. This was Kate every time I put her down. She'd latch onto my leg for dear life. Feeling Puny today. :( Poor thing.

D111/365  It's Called Happiness
"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne

PP w/ my own action. Calling it Banana Pancakes : ) YUMMY!!

The days have been so sunny and warm. Can't help but leave the door open. When you have a dog and a toddler; however, you have to put the gate up. We don't have a backyard, but fortunately the park is just a block down the road :D Kate has been just loving this warmer weather. She points out the window and calls to the great outdoors "DaDa. DaDa" ok, well, EVERYTHING is called DaDa. I do get the occasional Mama though.

Day 109 I Get So Emotional Baby
D109/365 I Get So Emotional Baby
So...I guess she doesn't like hats today. Maybe she was feeling a little humiliated. It's not really a hat, it's the little bloomers that go under her matching skirt. :D And WHEW! I'm finally caught up!!

PP w/ my Sunrise/Sunset action and
Paint the Moon Simple Lighten.
