Quick Quote

So, today we spotted our first "double-bus" that is joined together by that bendy accordion thing so it can turn corners.  Josie was *AMAZED* by it and for whatever reason she skipped the whole way home and then told me she HAD to tell Venus the Cat about it.

Josie to Venus, very excitedly:  "Hey Venus, I saw a bendy bus."
Josie to me after leaning in closely to Venus: "I asked Venus if she has saw a bendy bus and she said Meow-Yes, I have!"

(For the record, "Meow-Yes" is our new favorite catch-phrase. Feel free to use it!)

Celebrating the arts

Well, it's been quite a week so we're very happy that the weekend is here!  We have a clear calendar, so who knows what we'll get ourselves into. I figured I should clear the camera just in case. :)
Here are some photos of Josie enjoying "the arts" this week - a little drama, a little art & a little dance. Enjoy!
Here's Josie after she told Carissa & I she was going to have breakfast with the penguins (which we actually are going to do at the Aquarium in a few weeks).  She walked past us, opened the closet door, put on Lou's hat, grabbed the umbrella and told us she was on her way! Luckily she just crossed the living room and said "I'm here" instead of hitting the elevator button and hopping on the bus.

Here is Josie this afternoon after our art class at the CFEC.  I feel so fortunate that I have each Friday off of work so that I can spend this special time with Josie. She is such a creative little girl and we have so much fun making "masterpieces".  Here is her penguin puppet from today.  I try to follow her lead as much as possible and was very impressed that this guy came out looking like a "real" penguin.  She is so proud of him and has dubbed him "Mr. Crayon" - aptly named since, as she says, "he likes to eat crayons and the orange ones are his favorite."

This is her penguin balloon having a chat with Mr. Crayon.  I could've watched this all day!

Finally, here are Louie & Josie getting down before dinner.  She still regularly requests "Rock Me Mama Like a Wagon Wheel" (Old Crow Medicine Show) that they have been dancing to since she was an infant.  She loves dancing with her daddy. And it always makes me smile!
