Sick

Poor Annie has been sick. She was feeling a little better today, but still not quite herself, so we hung out around the house instead of going to the park.  We don't really have a routine down for hanging out at home - usually when it is nice out we both want to be outside at the park, or out on the sidewalk kicking the ball around or pushing dolly in her stroller.  And if it rains, which is rare, we go to the children's museum in San Jose.  So with a whole day of mostly inside hanging out time today, I decided we should do some Easter cooking projects.  This was only partially motivated by the fact that Annie was recently given a toy rolling pin in a set of toys, and she had no idea what it was.  (she tried to use it as a hammer, and also a baseball bat.  so it's not like I"m ignoring ALL aspects of her education!)  Here are a few pictures from our day together.

still not feeling 100%

Helping mommy make bunny cake.  She was very excited to help and carefully held my arm as we measured, and used a spoon to stir while we ran the mixer.  This picture, though, was taken just after the cakes went in the oven - she kept saying "cake? cake?" and looked so excited!  I had to explain that we don't actually eat it until after it we bake it.

So we moved on to dying eggs. Can we make them all red??   

I think somewhere I have a super cute big/smock things she's supposed to wear for art projects.  I couldn't find it though, which is why she's wearing the old tshirt I wear when I color my hair.  

These eggs taste terrible!  Even the red ones!  Why can't we have cake now?
