Henry loves lee Ann

Henry cannot get enough of Lee Ann.  He just adores her.  She tolerates him...most of the time...but can easily become annoyed.

Butternut Squash Muffins

Today I made these butternut squash muffins...to me they taste just like pumpkin.  I'm on a constant quest to get Lee Ann to eat more veggies.  She gobbled these up so I'll consider them a hit.  The muffins are a take on Jessica Seinfeld's "Do it Delicious" style.  She recommends making a bunch of veggie purée and adding it to a variety of recipes.  So far I am a huge fan!

Grown up

I feel like something happened to Lee Ann this week.  She looks so grown up.  Now her attitude is another thing...but when she's sitting still (rarely) and quiet (almost never)...she looks very mature. 

Park time!

For the first time in a LONG time it was in the 70s yesterday.  The whole family took to the park Sunday morning and a good time was had by all!

Holding Henry

Lee Ann is VERY into holding Henry these days.  Not for long...but for a minute it's very fun.

The new book battle

Lee Ann scored a new book today.  I explained to her in what I felt was a calm authoritative tone that she would have to share the book with her brother.  Henry's very interested when we read books, but Lee Ann often insists the book remain directly in front of HER.  

Today she decided instead of sharing she would just lay down on the book.  Awesome.  She's two and she's mastering the art of passive aggressiveness.  Naturally, I'm very proud.  Ugh.

Yum!

In an effort to fill the void of the book My Life In France, I picked up this new book- Voraciois by Cara Nicoletti.  It's a take on recipes from famous books...from Little House on the Prairie to Emma.  It's lots of fun to read and it's not short on butter or sugar!
