More fun...

Yet another fun winter weekend at the Hoover household. Our weekend began with breakfast at our favorite restaurant, All Days And Onions, where Emma charmed all of the waitresses by ordering a short stack of blueberry pancakes and putting a significant dent in them. As breakfast drew to a close and Emma became ansty we let her down to walk around, though she didn't go far. She would take a few steps, smile at the other patrons and then quickly return to our table, announcing, "I be shy. "
As seen below, Emma did some serious fingerpainting this weekend, painting not only the paper, but her face as well. :)
Emma has really begun to love cooking. She helps cook at nearly every meal, and we make a point to prepare things that she can help with. This weekend she helped to make a homemade pizza. She loved sprinkling the cheese, pepporoni and peppers on and even helped spread the sauce. She is very proud of her cooking skills.
During a trip to the grocery store for dinner ingrediants today we were in line checking out and there was a man with a white beard and white hair behind us. Emma looked up at him and said, "Hi Santa!"


















































Cooking wouldn't be as fun without feeding the pups the leftovers.
