a pretty perfect saturday

for the past few mornings hannah has made her breakfast, and it makes her so proud. "i make breakshast by myself, mom," she says. she gets a box of waffles from the freezer, takes out two, puts them on the counter, gets the toaster out from under the sink, puts the waffles in and pushes them down. all i help her with is plugging in the toaster.

after she picked out a dress and purple hello kitty socks i fixed her hair. she asked for pigtails, which she never does. she said, "put one here and one here," pointing to either side of her head. i did, of course, and she looked adorable. there's nothing much cuter than a little girl in pigtails.

after painting a couple of pictures, putting together a couple of puzzles, playing in the backyard, and eating lunch we went to the new frozen yogurt place in town.

then we went to the park, one of hannah's favorite places. the first thing she wanted to do was ride the train.

then she wanted to swing and slide.

libby swang for the very first time, and LOVED it.

hannah pushed her for a bit, and kept telling the other kids that were around, "look at my baby swinging by herself." she was a proud big sister.

then we got dinner from our new favorite japanese restaurant near our house. hannah can use chopsticks better than i can. no clue where she learned that.

libby had some pretty tasty carrots.

all in all, it was a perfect day. i am so grateful for saturdays with our little family.
