Delicious Fun!

My niece is visiting with us for a few days this week as we all anxiously await the arrival of her baby brother, who's scheduled to begin his journey into the world on Thursday (let's all pray for a quick and easy delivery for Momma! He's estimated to be a big boy--10 pounds, 3 ounces, and he's overdue...).

The girls have been enjoying their time together. Madison does a great job with explaining things to Gracie and coming up with fun things to do. This afternoon, we spent some time at our Butterfly Bush (which is recovering nicely from the lightening strike!). Madison came up with an idea--we would break off a sprig of flowers from the bush, hold it as close as possible to a butterfly, then watch as he ended up on the flower we were holding--and her plan worked! Both Gracie and her "ladybug" cousin spent the bulk of our outdoor time attempting to catch butterflies!


We also had a cupcake decorating party this afternoon! There were colored sprinkles, decorating gels, and marshmallows. Watching them choose sprinkles and place marshmallows was so much fun for me! I think this afternoon snack/activity was a hit! :)


Tomorrow I'll be sharing photos of yet another cousin...someone is turning ONE. That, therefore, can only mean one thing...photo session! :)
