Happy Eating

I had to take a couple of pictures of Jemma in her highchair tonight, happily eating with one foot kicked up in the air and strawberries all over her face. Annie, too, is happy - because she got a cookie for dessert. Mmmm, Mint Milanos!

Annie had a good day today, which means I had a good day today. She chose her own outfit this morning, and it consisted of a too-small purple tank top, a too-big pair of different-color-purple shorts and a non-matching hair bow. I was a little embarrassed that her stomach was hanging out for the world to see, but then her outfit led to today's funniest moment . . .

She and Lucy (in a rare and glorious moment of cooperation) were practicing somersaults and cartwheels on our front lawn. Lucy was helping Annie flip over and suddenly, Lucy was holding Annie's too-big shorts and underwear while Annie lay half-naked in the grass. Sarah and I cracked up, and the girls did, too, once they saw that it was OK to laugh at being "nakie" outside. Annie has now told the story several times and she cracks herself up at the end of it.
