"Dollhouse Logic"

There is no comparison to the imagination a girl can have with her doll house. I love to listen to Averie (and sometimes Meg) play and use her imagination to create a world where chocolate chip cookies with pink and purple frosting and sprinkles on top can be lunch...."but just this one time!" Today I had some time to sit down and play with her. Apparantly I have no clue on how the dollhouse world works....Here is how it played out.

Let me set the scene...Averie is playing the Mom and the baby brother, while I play the Dad and the little sister.

The Mommy decided to bake some cookies (for lunch) so she asked everyone what kind of cookies they would like, which of course were all different. Of course this is no problem in the dollhouse world. (Why wouldn't the Mom make three different kinds of cookies for lunch?) So down to the kitchen she went. While making cookies the baby brother got sick and couldn't play with the sister so he went to bed in the oven where he couldn't get anyone else sick. (of course) So me, asking the obvious question "where will we bake the cookies then?" she replied quickly with a little bit of disgust that I didn't already know "Moommm...this is pretend!!! we will use the other oven because there are two!" The daddy was playing with the little sister when he was so tired and needed a nap. He slept on the dog bed because he liked it there better. (???) Sleeping Beauty stopped by to borrow some sugar, blueberry muffin stopped by to play but that was not allowed because everyone was sick. Cinderella was cleaning the floors(HA, she got that part right!) The dog needed to be fed so he got grilled cheese that baby sister made. When they all sat down for a well rounded meal of cookies no one could eat them because they were all sick and had to go to bed again so Mommy ate them all and then cleaned up the kitchen

I could go on... but you get the idea. Where she gets this all from I am not sure, but I can assure you that we do not have cookies for meals AND my kids are not taking time outs in my oven. I would love to have a cinderella but I don't. Maybe the dog bead for the Dad was the "doghouse!" ????? Just kidding.

I love little kids imagination!

Do you Want One???

Easter fun today!!!

Lots of finger licking on this batch (ewe!)

March Highlights

This post is a little late due to the fact that our computer decided to go out... Now I am typing March's highlights on a new computer. (possibly an April list! ) Anyway... 1. Hudson turned ONE!! this is by far the most important. 2. Hudson is rarely eating meals simply because he has learned how to get to the cereal cupboard and open the boxes. We find him in the middle of the kitchen floor eating cereal a couple times a day. 3.Averie has defeated her fears of sleeping in the basement again 4. One cannot forget the meeting of the former muskrat in the basement window. 5. I signed up to help out the Cystic Fibrosis fund in honor of a very sweet little boy, Elliot Leegwater and am excited to due a small part in raising some money in that. the website to sponsor me is below if you would care to helpe raise my goal. www.cff.org/great_strides/kimBrower 6. I uploaded AND ordered prints from back when Hudson was born until now in one order...I am now updated, FINALLY. (Maybe April will bring the start of a baby book!) 7. Hudson was declared a very healthy very big boy at the doctor. He is 26 pounds! 8. Hudson is now walking everywhere. He has learned how to get up from the middle of the floor and just go! 9. Just to be fair to Averie (since she is not mentioned at all yet) She is now riding her training wheel bike with no fear thanks to the practice we got this month 10. Last of all, I turned another year older. I am now 33 years old. Not sure why this is a big year for me but I am taking it seriously and going to do everything I can to make this year my year to better myself. Bring on the year!
