The weekend

One of Anabelle's favorite things to do is to look at books. She loves to be read to and will bring you books and say "reese!" which of course means "will you please read this book to me?" She also loves to look at books on her own. Here she is on Saturday morning hanging out in one of her favorite "book nooks". She loves to sit in her room, buried underneath her stuffed animals and pull books off her shelf one at a time looking at each one until she is covered in a massive heap of books and must dig her way out.




Anabelle has lately increased her passion for the arts. For such a long time we tried to get her to enjoy coloring, but she didn't seem to show much interest. In the last week or so she has really become more interested in drawing, and now likes to sit and color with markers or crayons for quite a while. Here she is on Saturday afternoon working on a masterpiece.





Sunday we had some friends over to watch the Bears game, after the game was over we spent some time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Anabelle watched the "big kids" play bags while eating her snack picnic style.



Then she decided to join in the fun. Although I am pretty sure the rules say that you can't walk on the board.





In our yard we have a HUGE butterfly bush. Last year it was pretty big, but this year it is really ginormous! I love to look at it through our kitchen window, it attracts butterflies, bumble bees, and humming birds, and is really fun to watch!
