Valentine’s Crafts:
For once I got a good photo of her friend Mariana
Leilani and Narnia were painting together.
I took 300 photos that day. Mostly for Teacher Liselle, so I got a few really good photos of other kids, but of course there were a lot of Leilani photos among them.
I hope I didn’t use this title last year… Sunday morning we hiked on San Bruno Mountain
Is that called cross-stretching?
And now the flowers: Actually the first one is more a bumblebee photo, but it still contains a flower, an iceplant, which is an invasive weed if it’s not planted, like in this spot, right next to the trailhead. Leilani found the unhappy bumblebee crawling frantically in the parkinglot and we picked it up and carried it over to the flowers. It became much happier and started eating right away.
With the move 6 weeks away my desire to ID plants is waning. Creamecolored flower.
Eucalyprus. Leilani thinks it looks like a bearded fairy with a long nose.
Not a flower.
Lupine
Mallow and Poppy
Pink Flower
Do you like my camera?
Radish flowers. Because they look so much like mustard flowers Leilani called them mayonnaise flowers…
Leilani visited Olivia, they even had a sleepover
The so-called cherry tree in front of a neighbor’s house is in full bloom. I’d think it’s a plum, but I won’t argue… it’s very beautiful in any case.
Mommy this mushroom from Leilani. She found it in the yard, studied it, drew it from all sides… At Albion I had thought she was just playing, picking and eating the mushrooms and didn’t pay any attention to all the scientific part of the foray, but obviously she did…
Narnia came to visit us
Pizza Night at Jay’s: Leilani is helping to make pizza
And Andy is helping to make legos
Leilani built a beautiful town from Lincoln Logs, and asked me to take a photo (with the camera that has a working flash)
But then came the dreaded cat monster. Leilani feared him like King-Kong. (I suppose she had reason to)
But the monster just inspected the town, then my camera, and went…
….straight back to Leilani to become a cuddly cat again.
All is well that ends well. But even the stuffed animals sometimes knock over blocks and logs….
