Bear claw, Sidewalk chalk

We usually make our big breakfasts on Sunday mornings and this past Sunday was no different - scrambled eggs with sauteed veggies, hash browns and bacon.  I was going to make some quick Pillsbury rolls in the oven but Bryce was at the grocery store and told me not to make them because he had a surprise!  As the title suggests, Bryce brought back donuts and Abby got her first bear claw!  Needless to say, she loved it.  It's carbs covered in suger. 

She only ate half of it after her big breakfast.

The weather finally warmed up a bit so we played outside after breakfast while Bryce brewed beer.  I decided to bust out the Sidewalk Chalk since she was already in her play clothes and let her go to town.  I drew a bunch of stuff on the ground and wrote out the alphabet.  She knows all but 4 letters!  Woohoo Abby!  :)  I even drew little foot prints for her to stand in so she was looking at the letters from the correct direction.  She can spell so many words now, it's so cool to hear and she gets so excited when she gets them right!  If she doesn't know a letter, she says "Ummmmm......" until you help her out.  She's already learning stall tactics! 

Let's be honest, I had a lot of fun drawing all over the ground!  And Abby got to learn too.  Win-win!

When she first sprawled out in the bunny, my instinct was to pick her up but I decided to let it go because she was having fun and it's just chalk.  Baby steps, baby steps (for me, not Abby).

Check it out - it didn't bother me anymore!  :P

I love this face - it's peaceful and sweet.
