There are monsters down the dark hallway at Grandpa and Grandma's house, the badger that lives down the road (and was seen one late night driving home) is a topic of much conversation when walking in from the driveway at night, and and sometime small hoodie'd dragons race through the living room.

A
sweet friend passed down a sparkly, tulle-petal'd, satin 2T dress up dress. My girly girl is SO happy! And I loved letting her wear it to the grocery store and library... she looked adorable sitting in the cart surrounded by tulle. I think she also enjoyed that it drew the attention of the older ladies that usually are adoring Levi's baby chub. ;)

Rainy day. Boots obviously required! |
"...your feet are getting old and they're going to die and you'll be in Heaven..." - Nathan*
And Levi and I watch wide eyed as they juggle ideas and jostle each other, racing to decode this funny world.

Oh, the feet. I used to have such nice feet, before I had children. It's a worthwhile trade though, I'm pretty sure.
Love the butterfly story. :-)
Sometimes I get ambitious and slap some paint on my toenails but nothing else. I figure in 25 years or so I'll just go get a pedicure. ;)
Nathan LOVES butterflies and cocoons... he pretty much as The Very Hungry Caterpillar Memorized, and frequently when he finds a caterpillar we go over the whole process again at his urging! :)
