Country Girl

I love taking Eve to just go and try new experiences and see whats around us. Well last weekend we went to our local 4-H animal show. The kids were showing all their different animals. We saw goats, sheep, cows, and horses. Eve loved seeing all the animals by was a little nervous to really touch most of them. She slowly warmed up to the horses and enjoyed getting to sit on one of them. But she wasn't so happy with the sheep. They were all getting sheared and prepped when we got there and made a lot of noise. Now whenever you ask her about sheep all she says is "Sheep are so so loud".

Pigtails

Kansas is by far the windiest place you could ever live. It doesn't help when I am trying to let Eve's hair grow, but it is constantly getting in her face and mouth. At least now it is long enough for ponytails and pigtails. I took these the other day and just thought they were too fun to not share.

Old Fashion Fun

Last week we had some really nice weather, not as hot as normal, but not cold either. I went to work finishing off my gardening work and restaining our deck. I tried to find some new things for Eve to enjoy. While I was working on the garden I let Eve do some of the fun things that my Grammy always had us do at her house. First she got to have some fun with water. Grammy always used dish washing tubs, but I didn't havc any so I just used a plastic container and some kitchen stuff. The first day she played in the water without getting in, but by the second day she just felt like she had to get in the water. Well, I didn't want to get out all her bathing suits yet, so she got to go in her birthday suit. She had a great time with the funnels and she loved using the ladle. The next day I worked more on the staining, so Eve wanted to help me paint, but there was no way I was going to let her use the stuff. So Grammy inspired me again and Eve got to work with a paintbrush and a big bowl of water. She would laugh and tell me all about the animals she was painting. I was able to get a lot done and she had lots of fun with new experiences.
