Elizabeth's Valentine's Day

[velvetpage]

Hello
Erin I didn't get a chance to tell you all about Elizabeth's day today.
I need a copy for my journal so I thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone and send you a copy too. ( and everyone else)
The day started out with me wrapping a boa scarf around Elizabeth's neck. It had been given to Krista and is a fuzzy,furry scarf. It is white with brown fuzzy ends. Not very pretty.
Elizabeth came into the kitchen to declare" Oma I'm a horsey!"
That sort of set the tone for the day.
At one point we had on cowboy hats and were sitting either end of the couch on the arms riding our horses. I am sure the "NEIGH"bours wonder about the goings on in my house.
Since it was a miserable rainy day I suggested we make some valentine cookies. Elizabeth's response was to run to the kitchen shouting" Bizzies apron" while pushing her chair up to the counter. The master baker was ready to bake.
She held the mix master, tasted the dough, poured in the oatmeal and pat everything down. She then decided to wash the dishes. She can reach the tap now and today we discovered the she can also push the button on the tap that changes it to a spray nozzle. After we wiped up the floor and the counter and the cookbook. We continued. No cookie dough was hurt in the making of this mess. (:
Now it was time to put a teaspoon of dough on the cookie sheet, make a dent in it and put some jam in it. She is very good at making dents with her finger. Putting the jam in the dent is another story. Somehow Belle got jam on her back. She sits under Elizabeth's chair while we cook. Lots of things get dropped so it is a very advantageous spot to sit.
Well the cookies eventually got baked and the dishes done. Elizabeth declared the cookies to be Yummy. Since it was such a nasty day we discussed the possibility of giving some cookies to the post lady.
Elizabeth put some in a baggie and we watched out the window for her to come. Then we went out on the front porch and wished her a Happy Valentines day. She was thrilled and Elizabeth gave her a special smile.
Back at the ranch later in the day. Elizabeth and Belle had a tug of war over the horsey scarf. Belle seemed to think it was her toy so she was pulling one end and Elizabeth had the other yelling "My horsey, Belle, My horsey!"
And so as the sun set in the west I will leave you with these words.
Happy Trail to you Until we met again........

That... may possibly be one of the most ridiculously cute images I've ever had in my head.
It sounded like so much Fun!!!

Isn't that great? I wish I could be a fly on the wall of Oma's house some days. Then again, she does equally fun stuff with me sometimes. Last night she was helping me empty the dishwasher. She took out every plastic cup, ranging in size from four-ounce baby cups to twenty-ounce monster cups, and stacked them. When they fell, she patiently picked them up and stacked them a different way. Then she unstacked them and carefully placed them all around the room, upright. I found one later in the garbage, because she showed me. "Cup in poubelle, Mommy!"
