Staycation in the Backyard!

I don't think I ever took a picture of what we got Chloe for her birthday. It is a play tent, and yes it is just as cool as it looks!! It stays inside most of the time, but we did take it out on the deck for some outdoor fun. The tunnel just might be Chloe's favorite part. Notice Lamby is in hand. He is never far away these days. Storky is also in tow. She sure loves her stuffed animals!
On to the next activity!
Play time on the deck with me :)
Donna (aka Grandma Romerdahl) found this old toy from Andrew's childhood and gave it to Chloe to play with. How cute is that? It was an instant hit. She loves pulling this toy around! She loves pushing it too.
She also explored the other wonders of the back yard...lots of rocks...she found a few other pebbles that were not rocks, but petrified dog poop from the winter. Don't worry we got to them first. Andrew soon had the rest of the yard poop free and she was free to wander.
Climbing the stairs to the deck (thanks Mom and Dad for building these for us!)
Chloe wanted to do everything we did (except sit back and relax of course). She is copying everything we do now. It is so adorable.
I mean really, how could you not love a face like this?!
Here is the progress of the daily (more like weekly) painting project. And yes Chloe is on top of a box. She climbs onto everything. We even had to move her toy bin from along the blanket chest because she was getting up on that too! Crazy!
Having a little girl is fun, stressful, exhausting, hilarious, touching and sweet.

This post makes me ache for you to live nearer! Our girls would have so much fun together! We have a tent that my mom got us and Tuesday loves it. I need to take it outside, great idea! Chloe is as cute as ever, and her artistic ability rivals yours!
