Mr. Sun

Evelyn loves to sing lately, and she learns lots of songs at day care. One current favorite is Mr. Sun: 

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me! 

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, hiding behind the tree-

These little children are asking you, to please come out so we can play with you! 

Oh Mr Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on, 

please shine down on, 

please shine down on me!

Here is Evelyn's version, riddled with distractions! Maybe you'll pick up a snippet of those lyrics here and there :)

Spring Break

Evelyn and I were pretty lucky to have 3 weeks off for spring break. Here are some of the ways we kept busy...

Little Beans with Addie and Heather

Happy Easter!

We had a very nice Easter yesterday. 

Evelyn and Stella had a great time playing together. 

Evelyn also had fun playing with the grown ups :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday earlier this month!

The cake was a hit :)

February Flashback

Last month we had a great time sledding at Grandma and Papa's house! It was Evelyn's first time sledding, and I think she enjoyed herself. 

Post-sledding milk and crossword :)

What's for breakfast?

Evelyn will tell you....

Three Day Weekend

Happy President's Day! We had a fun weekend, and it was even nicer that we were all off on Monday.

On Saturday, we went to the Skokie Exploratorium. Not too far, and only $5.... We will definitely be back!

When Evelyn woke up from her nap on Sunday afternoon, we were a little stumped on what to do until she requested, "Walk. Coat. Hat." So, we bundled up and took Jax around the block.

On Monday we were glad to see the rain out of the forecast for the morning, so we headed to Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a beautiful, almost spring-like day, and the zoo was pretty empty.

Evelyn definitely notices the animals now, although many of them are "care " (scary). Acceptable animals included the small monkeys, the ostriches, the rabbit, the ducks, and the tiger (until he started roaring). The most scary animals by far were the cows and gorillas.

After the zoo we had a yummy lunch at the Athenian Room, where Evelyn enjoyed dipping Greek fries into tzatziki.
