An Easter Egg Hunt Encore

 This time with a picnic. 

An Evening at the Park

Carnevale

I forgot to post these Carnevale pictures.  Here is Julia throwing confetti and loving every minute of it. She was a ladybug, but with these frigid temperatures, she was forced to wear a coat over her costume.  Yes, I know.  And I don't care.  She is lucky I let her take her gloves off to throw the confetti.

How We Fill a Day

I love this age. This girl is a blast.

Easter Egg Hunt!

We made that Easter basket!  Oh, it was a gluey hot mess - but we had fun!  That goes for the eggs we colored too.

L'Artista

The finest example of Italian artistic expression since Michelangelo. 

I offered no suggestions in regard to color or placement.  It was entirely her artistic vision.  Yes, I am proud.  

Spring? Not in our Part of the World!

We are still wearing coats, scarves and boots while clinging to Peenda for warmth.  This is the one moment of the day we peeked our heads out from under the blankets.  

Picnic in the Park

Today we held Playgroup in the park and stayed for a picnic with our American friends.  Basically a bunch of chatty blond three-year-olds with thick accents.
