Spring has somewhat cooperated with my photography prompts.  Although I was supposed to take a photograph of something just starting to grow this season, I didn't want to take photos of the minuscule buds on the trees!  Instead, I captured N as she made her first big steps towards learning to skip.  I knew she could do it!

I've also captured some pastel indoor shots of our Easter decor:

With spring emerging, we get ready for a new season of cooking!  N's daycare has inspired her to learn to cook and she is quite the kitchen helper!  I expect we'll be test-trying new ice cream recipes this summer!

I can hardly wait!

spring-time?

We had spring for a couple days last week.  Excited by the prospect of winter disappearing for a few months, I ventured outside to get some spring-time shots.  Of course the girls were only too happy to oblige demonstrating how deep the puddles were:

I've been spending lots of time indoors doing the case-law digests.  Many hours are spent reading case-law on the couch with a cup of tea on the windowsill.  I should become a shareholder of David's Tea considering how much tea I drink, especially the Cinnamon Chai!  (I tend to drink mostly Rooibus teas because I've heard that South African doctors recommend them due to the high quantities of antioxidants within them but I also drink many of their herbal teas too!)  I've also become a collector of loose tea accessories including the travel mug (which is like a travel version of the Bodum coffeepot).

I've been mostly focussing on catching up on Big Picture Classes that I've missed hence why I'm not sharing any photos!  As spring is coming, I'm getting crafting fever and hope to make some end-of-year gifts for teachers!  K has started to use the sewing machine (with my direct supervision) so she may help make a fabric bag for her teacher?  We'll see!
