what a day.

We had a very rainy day here in Decatur today.

So, we decided to decorate a "treasure box" since

we find LOTS of "treasures" everyday on our walks.

The final product:

These last two pictures made the process of allowing a 2 year old access to 5 different colors of paint at once and then allowing her to "sprinkle" glitter flowers around seem simple...and clean.

But really, it wasn't.

Anyhoo, then after a nap, we had to go and find treasures...

And "Stempa", the minature reindeer

-the first stuffed anything to be given a name by Lillianna-
went with us to.

Hold this treasure Mom.

Score! We found LOTS of treasures today!

You want to put one in Mom? Ok, but place it in very carefully.

We topped off the good day with dinner with Uncle Mike & Aunt Donna. Lillianna didn't say more than 2 whispered words the whole time. Maybe it was her mood or maybe it was because she ate a beef taco, a whole plate of rice and beans, a cup of peaches, chips, salsa, cheese dip, and some fruit snacks. whoa!

I'm so excited to change tomorrow's diapers.

They also gave her some surprises, including this adorable giraffe from the Memphis zoo. She really didn't let them know how much she loves it...she waited until we pulled out of the parking lot to be excited about it. But she didn't let go of it and had to have it to go to sleep tonight.

sweet girl.
