A Cornfield & The Pirate

You and I made a trip to the local farm.  You have been asking if we could go pick corn on the cob.  A funny thing you recently said while eating a chicken leg was, Mom this is good chicken on the cob!
We headed out on our great adventure to find the perfect ears of corn.

We searched high . . .

We searched low . . .
Until we found just the right ones . . .
Mommy stopped to pick some green beans and cucumbers.

I had such a fun time with you at the farm, Liliah.  You are such a pleasure to be with and you are always up for an adventure.

This past Saturday, we made an impromptu trip to the children's museum.  We went shopping for some new fall clothes for mommy and you were such a big help by letting me try on lots of things and told me what you liked.
It was fun to discover that it was pirate day!  You made a treasure map, and a hat in your favorite color.  You are trying to say, Arrghh maties!


Pirates can be nice too!

Liliah...you sure made a good little pirate hat. I esp like the very, very lovely pics of you in the cornfield. Reminds me of my farm days in Iowa...that is some great looking corn you picked. Love/hugs from Nanna and Papa!
