Monkey at the kitchen table

Nora loves to hang like a monkey on the kitchen table. I could only get her to do it for a short time, she usually swings for a while.

P.S. Aren't you proud of me for figuring out how to download a video!!!

Big red tub

Yesterday, I picked up a great big red tub, thinking it would be perfect to put in the backyard so Nora and friends could wash off from playing in the sand, etc. Well, Nora took it to a new level this morning. As I worked on de-weeding the front yard, Nora started playing in the bucket. Yes, she started out fully clothed, but that didn't last long. It was perfect time for me to get things done and she was happy as a clam just lounging in the tub!

I wish I had a little red box...

We learned a new song while were were in Denver. Marianne taught us and Nora wanted everyone to sing it all the time on our trip. Well, Phil brought home this box (that just happened to be the right color) and you know what we had to do....

Playing in food

At the Cherry Creek Mall in downtown Denver, there is the amazing kids area where all the climbing toys are breakfast foods. Needless to say, Nora LOVED this place.

Lunch with the kids

One of the days in Denver we met the Hasenzahls and some friends at a pizza place for lunch. Nora didn't eat much but loved just watching the older kids talk and eat. She is such a people watcher.

Beach Bums

Oh yes, we went to the wonderful Aurora Reservoir with the Hasenzahls. The kids were in heaven! We had a little lunch on the beach, made sandcastles, and buried Hannah and Cole.

First stop, paint the porch

We went to Denver!!!
After being in the plane all morning, Nora was ready for some action, and Diane was ready! She had gotten Nora a paint brush, and a bucket, filled it with water and said, "Why don't you paint our deck?" Nora was HAPPY to oblige and she set to work.
