What winter?

Today was 74 and sunny. I don't have photos because I was too busy lazing around outside, soaking up the sun.

I met Ellen and her two girls at Anderson park (we saw Niki and Natasha there too, for a total of 8 kids.) We all picnicked together. I spent the kids' nap outside too, and then we ate dinner on the porch--it was lovely.

The weather has caused such commotion that KDLA thought it newsworthy. Ellen and I were interviewed at the park--we're probably famous. :) But, it's also clear from the interview that I do not know how daylight savings works.


Because I don't have a photo of today, here is one from the Phipps Conservatory, one of G's favorite indoor pastimes. Tiny carts, lots of fake food; she loves it.

Ellen mentioned that she let Isla paint on her easle. How brave she is! But, when she said she started with watercolors, I thought I would give that a try. Plus, it was one more reason to be in the sunshine. I gave G some paints and a brush and a bit of water (water! Of course it would be a hit with her.)

And she loved it. Tonight at bedtime she asked, "Mama, what those colors called?"

"They're called watercolors. Or you can call them paints."

"I call them paints. What that brush called?"

"A paintbrush."

"What that bowl of water called?"

"A bowl of water."

We repeated the conversation when I went to check on her. :) I didn't realize how taken she would be with "the colors".

And because posts without photos are boring, here are some for the Grace and Sheldon fans:
