Yesterday was fun. It was full of activity. In the morning we made pine cone bird feeders. I guess bird seed isn't poisonous, because Ladybug ate it by the fistful, with a side of peanut butter.
It had snowed in the night, but by 11:00 am the sun was strong and it was warm enough to have some fun outside. I hung up the pine cone feeders, which very quickly became squirrel food. The cones disappeared within hours! I guess there are some well-stocked nearby squirrel nests now. I'm considering looking into a permanent feeder. Ladybug knows a few birds: bluejay, cardinal, robin. It would be fun to watch more from the back window. 
Then in the afternoon we made chocolate cookies, heart-shaped in honor of Valentine's Day. I just got a rolling pin with special disks on the side to control the thickness of the dough. Between that and parchment paper (no more flouring countertops!) cookies are almost too easy to make now. Ladybug had a lot of trouble waiting until after they were baked to eat them!
