the reptile look: frog coat and pink crocs

It's beginning to feel a lot like... spring. Thanks to Grandma Cathy for the shoes - - we've gotten SO much wear out of them! Gymboree frog coat (2T-3T).

Painting {{or please don't touch the table}}

Today, Lila is wearing washable crayola paint. Yeah, I agree. We may need to invest in a few more smocks for our budding Picasso. This is kinda surreal, right?

Watch the master in action. :) Ignore the babbling mother.

Superhero Princess

Let's pretend is becoming a big thing at our house. The Bug is sporting the Superhero Cape and Storybook Crown from EllieBellieKids.

What happens while we're at work...

Thanks Kate for sending this photo - - made my work day! :0)

Little Ladybug

The Little Ladybug was a huge hit! Pottery Barn Kids Ladybug Costume (12-24 mo), Circo black and white checked swing coat (18 mo), Gymboree black velour leggings (18-24 mo). Happy Halloween!

Early Morning Backyard Explorer

A little rain never kept this little explorer from her morning outside jaunt... Carter's flannel PJs (2T), Baby Gap hoodie sweatshirt (18-24 mo), and Western Chief Hello Kitty Rain Boots (sz 7 - with extra socks!). Many thanks to Grandma Cathy for the new rain boots!

Butterfly Garden

Wow - - it's been a WHILE since I posted! Here are a few photos from the Butterfly Exhibit at the Nature Museum in Chicago. The Bug is all Gymboreed-out here in their fall "Owl" collection: brown corduroy pants with flower embellishments, a hot pink "tree" shirt, and striped short-sleeved hoodie (all 18-24 mo). New boots too! Stride Rite brown zip-up boots that light up. Awww yeah.
