Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a good start to the day with a Valentine's Day breakfast.  Sage loved it and dug right in!   We hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! 

Heart plate with heart apples, pancake and blueberries!

She couldn't even wait for me to cut her pancake!

Mirror and a Headband

I have a drawer in the bathroom that is filled with hair stuff:  hair ties, brushes, and headbands.  Sage loves to play in this drawer.  She uses the hair ties as bracelets, brushes her hair and on Saturday morning discovered how fun it is to wear a headband.  She thought she was to cute!   Reese lifted her onto the counter so she could see herself in the mirror. 

 

She was having so much fun - just giggling!

Coming in for a kiss!

Snack Time

Reese and Sage were having a snack yesterday afternoon and it was to cute, I had to grab the camera!   Sage stayed in her pajamas all day yesterday and was loving it!    A very relaxed winter day:)

Mail

Sage loves to go get the mail everyday and it is even more fun when there is mail for her!   Lucky girl the last two days she has gotten Valentine's Day cards.  Two of the cards had a little extra surprise - $$$$!  As soon as she saw the dollar bills she screamed - MONEY!  She was so excited to put the money in her piggy bank.  She was concentrating so hard on folding the bills so they would fit into her piggy bank.   Thanks, Aunt Terri, Nana & Papa, and Mimi & Pop-Pop for the cards.  She loved them!  We put them on the mantle and she walks by and says "My Valentine's Day cards!"

The Letter "B"

Sage and I have been working on the Letter "B" this week.  I have printed off activities for each letter and the goal was to do a letter each week.  Well, it is week six of the new year and we are only on our second letter - oh well!  We are a little behind but we will get there!   I was at Bev's yesterday for playgroup and Case showed me an activity that he had done with Bev.  I loved it and copied it for Sage.  They are working on "J" and Bev did a page of letters on the computer and Case took a marker and marked all the J's on the page.  I did the same for Sage but with B's - she loved it!   Sage had so much fun with her new marker - it is just a Bingo marker!   Thanks Bev for this great idea and for telling me about the sale on the bingo markers!

Muffins!

This morning we needed an activity to keep Sage busy.  It was just one of those mornings where nothing was making her happy.  We had some bananas that were getting old so we made some mini banana chocolate chip muffins!  As soon as Sage heard me getting out the baking ingredients she was dragging a chair over so she could help.   She kept saying "Making muffins Momma!"  She had lots of fun, helping to pour the ingredients into the mixer, turning on the mixer, and showing me which spot to put the batter for each mini muffin.  My little helper!   I love that we can bake together!

Painting

I was making breakfast yesterday morning and I needed to keep Sage occupied.  Since it was going to be a quick activity I got out her finger paints and we used them in a ziploc bag at the table.  She loved it!  She had lots of fun, as she painted we talked about the colors of the paint, and how she could mix the two colors together.  And she really enjoyed making tracks in the paint with her toys!

Football and Friends!

Being so close to the big game we had to go downtown and check out all the football fun!   Tracey and I went downtown with Andrew and Sage on Wednesday afternoon and had so much fun.   Thank you Tracey for driving and for making it such a fun afternoon - I needed it!  We saw the Huddle, the Village, the Zipline, and Monument Circle all decked out for the game.  The kids seemed to enjoy watching the Zipline.  What a fun afternoon!

 Ready for an afternoon of football!  Andrew was so good in the car, Sage was good on the way there but not on the way home!

Tracey and Andrew watching the zipline!

 Sage and I had fun watching the zipline too!

 Not a bad self portrait!

By the sign in Monument Circle.  Love all the random people around!  It was busy downtown that day.

Sunshine

Monday afternoon the sun was shining and it was 58 degrees.  We had to get out of the house and play.  Sage had so much fun on the swing and the slide.  She didn't want to come inside.  Here is our girl enjoying the sunshine!
