fistfulls of cookie

So, my daughter loves the cookie/cupcake lady...who wouldn't? :)
She loves the spicey cookies, Snickerdoodles and Molasses ones, and today she had to have a smidge of raspberry buttercream.

My Broncos beat up on the Chargers last night, and the Phillies managed to pull another win out of nowhere...so I'm waiting for the roof to cave in...LOL

feeling old

just having one of those days, but I did get some good coffee and good cookies today, so not all is lost.

little one is having her nap, then we are off to Poetry Class for the big one after he gets off the bus.

got to enjoy the hallway dancers again, its a highlight of my week. :)

Favorite Place: McGuffey

So, after we have finished at the Discovery Museum, we sometimes end up at McGuffey:

These are their newest exhibits which are awesome! Cynthia Burke amazes as always and some work by Rachel Kerwin is extremely powerful.

On the last two Tuesdays, we have managed to be there when one of the dance groups is doing work in the hallway, and today my daughter got up out of my lap and walked over near the dancers and the violinist, who welcomed her as part of their dance. If I had paints there at that moment, I could paint it. :)

Its interesting, both girls get so much out of going to McGuffey, they usually arrive at a quiet place and are very in tune with the dancers and the stillness around the dance.

another question...

why do the people who make sweatshirts for toddler girls think that we would like them to be colder than their boy counterparts? I figure they think as long as the girl is cute and in pink or purple, who cares if they are cold...

so, we bought her the warmer BLUE sweatshirt- phhhhbbbbbt!

Monday Ponderings

#1 Why do all toddlers(okay, specifically mine) feel the need to see what it will take to make a drip proof sippy cup drip?

#2 Why do all toddlers(alright...mine again) throw said sippy cup over and over again...okay maybe I should stop picking it up?

I'm guessing there will be no satisfactory answers on google, and I"m guessing the real answer is...

Because she freakin' feels like it!
