Not-So-Board Books

My Mommy thinks I don't like to read, but really, I just want something with some substance, ya know?

Now this is more like it. 

I'm Strawberry Shortcake

Today Mommy and Daddy put me in the car and drove a looooooooong way to Larriland Farm so we could pick strawberries!  They even remembered to bring my bucket.

Mommy and Daddy thought I might like it because I like to put things in things.  They were right!

Daddy helped me pick a strawberry from the patch.

But I'm a city girl.  I preferred to pick mine from the box and put those ones in my bucket.  Much easier.

We picked 5 1/2 lbs of strawberries before I got destructive and started squishing them.  Then it was time to go.  We had so much fun at the farm!  

Daddy Gets Paid For This?

So I think Daddy's job is fun!  

And frankly, I think it's kind of easy.  It's just ones and zeros, right?

I'm very good at this.

But I will admit, it is tiring.  I need a nap now.

Newest Edition

Baby Bailey at 8 weeks (was about the size of a grape according to babycenter, and is now, at 11 weeks, the size of a fig.  Why the food comparisons?  I have no idea).

Kubiando!

Kubiando, friends!  And as any of our fairie friends know, you would respond heartily with, "Kubiando!" as we were taught at the fairie festival today!  We were told that Kubiando represents everything good and pure in the world, and we're all for goodness and purity, so...kubiando!

We were greeted by the Pocket Fairie, who had surprises for everyone!  (Maddie lost her fairie rocks somewhere at the fair...).

Then Ty and Sophie chased bubbles while Maddie looked on, slightly confused and concerned.

There were fairies big:

And fairies small:

Fairies playing instruments:(The instrument she is playing is called a Hang and the music is lovely, hypnotic, and calming.  The artist,  Janet Spahr, has a cd called Hang suasion and we purchased it to put the kids to sleep on the way home - it worked!).

And Maddie's favorite, fairies selling spoons:

While I thought we might leave with fairie wings or a fairie wand, we more appropriately left with a fairie spoon.  Maddie, naturally, was thrilled:

If you're local, check out the Spoutwood Farm Mayday Fairie Festival - it's a lot of fun.  Next year, we'll be better dressed for the occasion.

America's Next Top Model

I don't even know if that show is on any more, but if Maddie was on it, she would totally be hearing, "Madeleine Bailey, you are still in the running to become America's Next Top Model."

We promise Maddie's never actually seen a modeling show...

Madame Blueberry

I'm so blue-ue-ue, blue-ue-ue, blue-ue-ue-ue!  I'm so blue I don't know what to do.*
