Star Student

Lotus was the star student at her school last week. Here is the poster she made about summer and the bag of sweet messages her classmates made for her. 

Model Lolo

Lotus stop a in front of this light pole on our way into Aldi and said "mom take my picture like this" and this is how she posed. I think it's a pretty picture of her especially for an Aldi picture. 

Zoo Day

The first warm day in February I took the girls to the zoo. I had never seen the penguin exhibit, so was excited to see it. June especially like watching the animals.

Valentine's Day

The girls and I have the best Valentine in the World! Jeff made us a a Valentine that says "I love my girls" and brought us a box of chocolates. Lotus was extremely impressed! 

We went to Wonderscope with Penny and I drew hearts on their cheeks.

Lotus and her Robot

Lotus had a school assignment to make something out of trash. I suggested some easy binoculars out of TP rolls, but Lotus wanted to make a robot. Here she is with her "robot", which has become a 5th member of our family, reminiscent of "Wilson" from Castaway. Lotus feeds him, puts him to bed and talks to him. 

The Nelson with Quinn-e

Our old and dear friend Quinn (and former roomie) came into town for a visit and stay with us as "our guest", as Lotus called her over and over. Lotus and Juniper LOVED her, almost unrelentingly. We took the girls to the Nelson Art museum. It was super fun, and Lotus loved looking all the art (especially the furniture, future furniture designer?), but taking a very busy toddler was quite nerve wracking. I expected to turn around at any moment and find a valuable work of Art in Junie's hands. Here are some pics of our short but fun Nelson trip:
