Tuesday

 It has been very summerlike here of late...more like June than February. The interesting part is that there's still snow on the ground, so it looks a bit incongruous.
 But Q and I have been taking advantage of the weather to hit as many playgrounds as possible this week.
 btw, I have to address the elephant in the room and say that she's killing me with this gigantic bow that she's wearing everywhere right now. She usually loathes hair accessories, and I can't get her to wear so much as a clip or tie in her hair. But she found this bow on a St. Paddy's Day display the other day, and for some curious reason she just adores it.


 Greeting a miniature husky. Who knew there was such a thing as a miniature husky?
 I mean, does this bow not kill you??
 Seriously, she is such a ham sometimes.

 This is not a pose, however. She's indicating that she wants to go climb the giant butterfly...
 This is the giant butterfly. She is quite the natural climber, our three-year-old. Climbing classes at the rec center don't take kids this young, and it's too bad, because she's just a ringer at it. But as my husband pointed out, it's not like you want them running off to scale a wall every time you're not looking, not at this age!
 A big thumbs-up at the top.


 Isn't it odd, this much snow on the ground, and bare feet? But it really is that warm out!

 She's so graceful, I just love to watch her move.


And here's the cake-topper: building snowmen in a tank dress and sandals. In February. 
Only in Colorado!

WOW! I adore such an "odd" combination of sleeveless and bare feet v.s. the snow. It's surreal!
Q has a wonderful figure, slim but with muscles.
Extremely beautiful body form.
The 4th one of the last set with the grey & white background is my favorite ... the tension of her body stretching over 2 stones ... so exquisite!
Love her sleeveless T with silver legging, shocking pink with bold green ... Q is a natural born stylist!!! If not, she has the MAGIC to carry out the characters of the outfits :)

Oh Q, what should I say? You are just too COOL!!

the picture of Q on top, after scaling the butterfly, is very cute.

That last picture truly is THE TOPPER,
but the whole photo-story is priceless!

Our youngest scared more than a few times neighbors and/or their visitors, when they walked or drove by and spotted her, literally hanging in one of our cherry trees. She moved like a monkey, arms outstretched, swinging up and down the branches.

Incroyable ces photos de Q dans la neige et en petite tenue d'été !
Elle est volontaire et intrépide ta fille, pas facile de la suivre !

I am insane about the green bow! Love the great outfit with silver pants, grey dress with white cord running through it, and that fabulous green bow!
It looks as though Q grew a foot in the last week. She is so long!

Melissa Taylor said...

Yes, I'm also here in Colorado and the weather still amazes me!

only Q could pull off such a bow. she is of another world, and how lucky we are that she brings pieces of it to us.

Storytime said...

The green bow is great. Q has such a great taste...or it could be that she just makes everything look so good!!!

Arkansas has highly similar weather. We had snow for 3 days, and then within a day or 2, it was in the 70's. Kinda crazy.
