Thanks, Kate!

Imagine Maren's surprise when Froggy #1 rose from the dead and arrived in an envelope this past week! Way back when Maren and her friend Kate were still cooking on the inside, their Grandma's had similar ideas and purchased this cute little frog for their new granddaughters. The difference turned out to be that Kate loves monkeys, while Maren can't live without frogs. Upon hearing of "froggy demise" at Maren's house, Kate and her parents decided that their family frog needed a new home. I wanted Maren to pose with new/old froggy as a way to salute and thank Kate's family, but she of course wouldn't oblige...so here's what I got. Maren loves to play with this pitcher and built in mixer. New/old froggy was an instant favorite again and she plays with him non stop. So at this time she decided to use the pitcher to make frog juice.

Checking out her handiwork.

Both froggies succumbed to the juicer on this day. And Maren thought she would take a sip.

THANK YOU KATE AND PARENTS! YOU HAVE BROUGHT JOY TO THIS LITTLE TODDLER'S LIFE! HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!

And last, but not least, here's a frozen blueberry face from breakfast. Man, those things are messy! I bought fresh ones again today. I'll gladly pay the price for a little cleanlier snack (believe me, the above is not the worst of it.).
