the great outdoors

Lilah loves being outdoors. From the minute she arrived home from China she's being an outdoors girl.

Some of her favourite activites on a daily basis include:
: finding and collecting rocks
: sticks and twigs - generally she has several of these in her backpack, which I believe she picks up on her walk between school and kindercare
: bugs, finding and capturing them in her bug cage - yes, she totally picks them up with her fingers..ugh!
: gardening and watering the flowers

Today, as per her usual routine, she had thrown her school bag through the front door and was out on the front porch watering the flowers, chasing down some poor harmless bug for her bug cage, trying to catch flies with her butterfly net and playing with her rock collection...

These sunny days are just perfect - winter is thankfully, a very distant memory!

  1. Don't you love this time of year?!! Lilah and Kerry would get along fantastically I think. I'm impressed, though, that Lilah will actually pick up the bugs! That's where Kerry draws the line...in fact she seems to have developed an and phobia.

    Ugh - she is SO cute. I'm glad she (and you) are enjoying the clip - it really looks sweet on her. And I adore Mani Mina's clothes and patterns.
