Bedtime Adventures

Lilly's comments on why she kept getting out of her bed tonight:

8:00 pm: It's not dark.

8:06 pm: When we go to the greenhouse tomorrow, can I see if there's a pool? (it's a fountain and I made the mistake of telling her she could throw a penny in and make a wish)

8:12 pm: I need to go potty.

8:27 pm: Can I make 4 wishes and throw 4 pennies in?

8:34 pm: Hey Mommy, guess what, I can sing the whole Joy to the World!

8:40 pm: Hey Mommy, can I tell you something? Remember those two Ella books we had? (which are sitting on her bookshelf)

8:44 pm: I'll make 10 wishes!

8:47 pm: It's too dark.

8:55 pm: Okay, I'll just have 3 wishes.

9:02 pm: Maybe just 4 four wishes.

At about 9:10 I heard her singing to the tune of "she'll be coming round the mountain," "tape dinosaur train tomorrow" and "3 plus 4 makes 2 and 1 is 8."

Clearly, she had too long of a nap today.

Feb/March

February and so far in March have been pretty busy for us. Here are some of our fun activities:


Watching the St. Patrick's Day parade with cousins ("it's really cold out here and we are only smiling because we are being bribed with candy"):


the reinhardts, brewers, and Trish at Trish's house in Indy:


Lilly and Jane, silly faces during dinner in Indianapolis:


I need to squeeze your face, Danny!


Digging for dinosaur bones at the Children's museum in Indianapolis:


Building a glass (plastic) art sculpture at the museum:


hi Bob! Lilly loves to pretend she is Bob the Builder at home (though we've never seen the show), so she really enjoyed this exhibit at the museum:


practicing her balance beam routine at gymnastics class:


getting ready to watch Strega Nona, Lilly's first play. She really loved this and got a kick out of all the singing and the pasta (for those of you who know this story)


the whole brewer side of the family:
