I received an email from my friend Alicia with the question game, so I thought it'd be fun to do it again on here (it's been awhile). So I'll answer the questions, and then tag two of you! (Alicia, this counts as emailing it back to you, right? :)) So watch out at the bottom of this post - it could be you! :)
But first, today Ansley has been very interested in the Rainbow Fish book. She loves looking at all the sparkly fish and talking about them. So we decided to make a fish necklace. I was hoping I had some glitter lying around to make them true rainbow fish, but I didn't (mental note: buy glitter next time I'm out). So Ansley colored them and strung them on the necklace, and loved wearing it. We got a call from a friend for a spontaneous lunch date, so we met at a deli, and Ansley had to wear her fish necklace. Here she is, modeling it for us:
