Today's shot doesn't say much about us being "out and about", but we were. We ran over to a nearby park (not the closest one, but a prettier one), because this weather is making my project a little tough! Lila doesn't really like the snow–she likes talking about it, and likes looking at it, but she thinks it's "messy messy!" when it gets on her, and wants to go inside. She also doesn't really like her boots that much, they're heavy and clunky, and she'd rather be barefoot (my little hippie daughter, I love it). We keep getting snowstorms on days we would have playdates, so we are home much more than I'd like. A cooped up almost-two-year-old is NOT the most fun way to spend the day, let me tell you.

So anyway! We went to the park, and Lila COOPERATED with me. I'm almost afraid to say anything about it, for fear of jinxing it.

But she was willing to take pictures, and she even looked at me. I was floored. And loved all 5 minutes of it. So here is one from our little outing (before we went to the toy store to stock up for tomorrow's snowstorm!). (One little note: I didn't do anything to her eyes in editing–if you look closely, you can see the snowbanks lining the walkway on each side–snow is a fabulous light reflector. You can also see my silhouette!)
