Grocery Shopping

Grace and Jack LOVE to go to grocery stores. We always spend LOTS of time in the produce section. Jack loves all of the vibrant colors and Grace loves naming all of the exotic fruits and vegetables to Jack. Visiting the grocery store, primarily the produce section, is the perfect way to learn all about healthy foods. Today we went to Whole Foods. Grace was such a big helper. She found all of the produce items that we needed, counted them out and put them into bags to take home with us. At Whole Foods Grace shopped for apples, carrots, parsnips, and yams. Can you guess what we will be making with these items? A birthday cake, of course! :) We will be celebrating Grace and Jack's birthday next weekend with a summer beach party. We are making a harvest cake with these ingredients. Grace is so excited to help make the cake for the party. We'll be sure to share our cake recipe with you in an upcoming post.

Grace is going to be 3 years old in just a few weeks! With each new picture I can see Grace's growth, both in height and her essence!

You all (Daddy, Mommy, Grace and Jack) should write a cookbook/activity book that features all that you do as a family! Rebecca, what a start you have given your children....art, music, dancing, imagination, cooking, movement, nature, reading, sign-language, compassion, manners, exploration, discovery, planning, simplifying, math, building, thanking, healthy eating, enjoying, early life-skills, and loving.

Think about putting this all into a little book to share. A Mama's Guide to Filling Up Healthy & Loving Days.....by the Little Legers.

I for one, cannot wait to enjoy this extra-special Birthday Cake. Have a wonderful time talking, cutting, grating, mixing and baking the cake together.

We are getting ready to come to Jack and Grace's summer beach party! I am bringing along a little craft that I need Jack and Grace's help with for their party!

Just counting the days with excitement and love,
Maddy

I would love to have Grace shop with me. She's sooo attentive to her task. I bet she chooses only the best from each group.

I am looking forward to having a piece of this tasty cake, but, first, singing "Happy Birthday" to Grace and Jack.

XOXOXO,

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
