Some of Nickolas's Favorite Things

Every now and then, it's funny to turn on the camera and view what little hands may have captured with it. Below are shots Nickolas took of some of his favorite things.

"Lucy"

"Toy Garbage Truck"

"Shelf of Books"

"Baby"

from mom: "Boy With Baby Wearing Pants Backwards"

Swinging

Flora, being the peanut she is, still fits in the swing. However, she never grew fond of her fancy robotic one, and of course, prefers the "old fashioned" one instead. Meanwhile, Lucy has had much fun sitting in the fancy one using her heal to switch to various settings (see video).

Doll Face

National Arboretum

Grandma Julie came to town for Easter vacation while the kids had off from preschool. We did all sorts of fun activities and Grandma enjoyed the spring-like weather (compared to the weather in Wisconsin). One stop was at the National Arboretum run by the Agriculture Department in NE Washington. They have an amazing Bonsai tree and Azalea collection. Also on the grounds are a series of columns that originally fronted the Capitol building prior to an extension. It makes for a great picture spot.

For some reason, we were not happy in the bonsai garden.

Flora's First Cereal

So far, not a fan. Flora spits it all over herself, so we're sparing her clothes in the mean time.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Party Girl
