Got Our Barn On!

Sitting here with gobs of sparkly nail polish blogging while they dry...Marlie treated me to a mani/pedi complete with a foot massage tonight after I did hers this afternoon.  She kept telling me to sit still and sounded very familiar to someone else I know when she promised at dinner to get to my mani/pedi just as soon as she could.  I would take a picture but it looks like my toes are bleeding a particular color of pink...not quite sure how to clean the toes up without making her masterpiece look like my own if you know what I mean!

We spent the morning at gymnastics and then off to the Avila Valley Barn for the season opener with Grandma Silva and Zip (the cha-weenie (sp) aka Marlie's other BFF) for lunch and a walk around the farm to feed the animals. Harper used all her animal words and animal sounds and made a 2nd trip back around to see the "cow cow" and "neigh neigh" but was a little scared when they came too close given the lettuce in her hand.  We skipped the traditional ice cream this time but munched on a GIANT rice crispy treat and came home with an Ollalieberry Cobbler that we just had for dessert and all four of us licked our bowls clean!   Marlie had to have hers with chocolate ice cream while the rest of us had vanilla.  That's how she rolls you know.  One thing I know for sure is this will be the first of many, many, many barn trips this spring, summer and fall.  What a gem we have on the Central Coast!

Yep...that's the best sister shot we could get...tuff crowd these days!

Loving the sunshine playing in the backyard...

We had a leprechaun visit us last night...luckily the dogs were on guard so he didn't come in and mess up the house like Tutu said they do to her classroom.

HP gets a wee bit wet after playing in the fountain and off come the clothes...

"CHEEEEEESE"

Trying to figure out how those footprints got there and why they are green?  I'm just wondering how the acrylic craft paint will clean off the concrete!
