Warm Spring Days

We have been having some beautiful weather lately and Sadie has been enjoying all that the arrival of Spring brings including...

Sharing an ice cream with Ruben

and being silly about it

Playing in the park with her friend Toshiro

blowing bubbles at friends with a fancy bubble machine

Running really fast to make pinwheels spin

and figuring out other uses for pinwheels.

 It is going to be an exciting Spring and Summer!  Indeed, it already is.

Spwing Spwing Spwing!

Our little dreamboat has been a busy girl. She has been in school 5 days a week while mommy is in class, and now that the weather has finally let up a bit she has gotten some outdoor time. 

She spent Spring break hanging out with her buddy Cailin at the zoo and park and whatnot.

Breaking out the bike - she can reach the ground now!

Playing with her big girl friend Vera:

Looking like Joey Ramone waiting for the bus to school:

Helping Mommy plant herbs and tomatoes:

Ice cream, of course:

Examining ladybugs:

More gardening:

Gymnastics:

Practicing her paparazzi face. She just finished saying "no pictures, mommy!"

Sadie's First Seder and much much more

I had the day off work and V had class so I spent the morning with Sadie.
First we went to the park with Jasper, where Sadie took the leash and took charge.
On the way out of the park, Sadie wanted to go in the "little house" which is actually kind of dark and scary inside. She looked like a little elf in there.
Then we dropped Jasper off at home and went to the playground and Sadie spent the entire time playing on the big kid swings.
After the playground, Sadie and I went to the bookstore and then had hamburgers for lunch at Bare Burger. She was a perfect lunch date.
Finally, tonight was the first night of Passover so we put together a little seder. I made chicken soup and it was lovely. Sadie had a good time and even tried horseradish and gefilte fish. Yum yum yum. It was surprisingly fun.
I want to spend more days hanging out with my girl. She's a nice kid.
