Amaryllis

Kathryn is really into science and among her ten or so favorite subjects is plant life. She planted an amaryllis bulb, and I suggested she keep a log of its growth. We documented a lot of the process with  more photos that somehow ended up missing. She measured using a 12" ruler at first, and as you can see, she had to switch to a tape measure within just over a week of starting the log. At first I guided a lot (you can tell from the writing) and then she took off with it on her own. 

There was much excitement!

I was clipping coupons when Neevie sat down on the chair next to me. She took a receipt and turned it into a neck scarf. I thought it was cute, so I grabbed the camera. Then she transformed it into other things, narrating along the way. I could hardly keep up; she was really fast.

Are you getting this, Mom? Prepare to be amazed.

As you can see, the receipt had about had it by this point, but she still played.

I just love her creativity and try my best to stay out of the way.

We got the cousins together at Great Grandma's for a visit with Karlee.

We tried to get a photo of them together, but they were less than thrilled with the idea. 

You might even say they were becoming crabby.

But then... 

tea parties!!!
