Photos - Better late than never

Cass got dressed up to head out to a kid's musician show one evening. I LOVED her in this dress but unfortunately she just keeps on growing out of everything.




Cass is big into helping lately. Since we're trying to get her to use her powers for good, rather than Evil, she helped me make brownies. Her biggest contribution was to clean out the bowl. She was in the bath about 5 minutes after taking these pictures and we found chocolate in the oddest places.


This is Cass with her 'cousin' Q, who I've been watching on Wednesdays. Boy oh boy chasing the two of them around even one day a week makes me sure that I'm crazy to even consider having another kid. But they are good together, although this day they had taken EVERYTHING out of the toybox already & were working on knocking as many books off the shelf as they could. It's good to have a project, I guess.

We haven't been letting the fact that it's winter stop us from getting outside and walking around. Any day above 50 degrees is a good one so out we go to local parks or trails to enjoy nature. Cass is already talking about camping & kayaking this summer.

Catchin a ride with Daddy.

This past Monday we went with Daddy to Spencer State Forest and wandered around in the sunshine. Here she's jumped over to a sandbar in the middle of a river to have a snack. She'd bumped her head the day before so the bandaid on her head is more for show than anything else. Doesn't she look tough?



Sherbear & her daughter Banana came up from Florida recently. We met down at the Emerald Square Mall, where they have a full sized carosel in the food court. The girls loved it and got along well.

You'd think they saw each other every day - they were so comfortable with each other.




We spent a Saturday walking the 3 mile Wachusett Rail Trail and had a great time. While muddy, this was a wonderful flat & easy walk that we'll surely do again.

Blixx took Cass up to Wachusett Mountain to see Uncle Toad skiing. She's already showing an interest so we're thinking of getting her up on sticks next season.

It was a school holiday so Grips took us to the Ecotarium, a science museum here in Worcester. This is from the African exhibit.

V can lift Cass up now and carry her around like a sack of potatoes. Funny stuff, considering Cass doesn't mind a bit.

They learned all about different local animals tracks & skat & habits. It's a neat spot.

Rather than the $20 stuffed polar bear in the gift shop, I opted to spoil the girls with little stuffed owls. V's is named WhoWho, which leaves Cass's named WhoHa. Yep, it's funny when we're out in public & she's asking me where she left her WhoHa.
