Close Encounters

-


It seems to never stop raining around these parts!  And we are going crazy!  There is only so much you can do inside.  We stocked up on some art supplies at Target the other day and we have officially had our first color (she only ate the crayons once!), first play dough sculpture (she didn’t try to eat this once!), and today we will paint (with water of course!).  




This morning we saw a sliver of sunshine so we jumped on it.  Kaelyn and I headed to the park and even remembered our bread for the ducks!  We will not bring bread to the ducks anymore.  Holy moly are they some brave ducks.  I swear they would have eaten my leg if I didn’t chuck the whole two pieces of bread I brought at them and ran the other direction.  From now on we will watch the other duck feeders from afar and enjoy as we have in the past.  Even the squirrels are crazy there.  Kaelyn almost brought one home as a pet… they too almost attacked my leg.  I could not believe how close they would come to us… it’s quite obvious they are fed my humans on a regular basis. 

And now for the hundred pictures I took… my little girl is just too cute to not take a hundred pictures!! 

You know it's going to be a good time when you can rock out to Kris Kross!


She continued closer to the squirrel and he wouldn't budge... mamma had to grab the babe before she lost a finger.


Defying gravity

Break dancing... she really enjoyed the Kris Kross!









Back and forth, back and forth, across the bridge




And a few randoms from the week...

She LOVED this chair!  Our friend Brett is having a little girl in September (can't wait!!) and she took all the baby toys out to play with and would not leave the chair!!  
Guess what Mommy will be shopping for this weekend?!?

Her morning routine... baking up some cheerios, raisins, and banana chips.  Yum!



We CANNOT wait until tomorrow when Grandma, Aunt Cassie, Uncle Jack, Nev, and Grace come to visit for a whole week!!

Appreciating: November!

AHHHH!  Prepping for a new baby and holidays make for one crazy combo in my world.  So here we are, February knocking on the door, and I am finally posting our November, December, and January.  Better late than never I suppose.  It's been a super busy three months, but we have celebrated Thanksgiving, a new niece, Christmas, and prepared for a new arrival by moving the girls into one room and getting his nursery ready to go. And now, November.. We have moved up in gymnastics... now both girls get to play while mama sits.  My kind of gymnastics class.   We traveled to Tampa for Thanksgiving this year.  No baking involved... Ruth Chris Steak House for the win. A Thanksgiving celebration at school Daddy Daughter Date Our annual tree selection ceremony.  This year I was pretty insistent on the tree we chose... which ended up being a dud and hardly making it through Christmas. ...

Good-Bye 2015

Happy New Year!  We actually stayed awake long enough this year to say good-bye to 2015.  We even made it out which I don't think has happened since we had our two beauties.  You better believe the minute that clock hit midnight we were hailing the first Uber driver available to get us home.  This was mainly due to Kaelyn being awoken by the barrage of fireworks and not being able to settle until she had her mama passed out in her bed. We said good-bye to Nonnie yesterday after a week and a half of time together.  We were able to celebrate Christmas and say hello to the New Year together and it was oh so special.  Aunt Kelly and Ethan also joined in on the fun for a few days. Nonnie brought all of these presents We watched our tree, Dingo (Kaelyn named him), be hauled off yesterday and have taken down the last twinkling light.  We didn't let the year and the warm weather leave us without a final trip to our favorite spot. ...

How Did We Get Here?!? Kaelyn’s First Day of Preschool (and some serious catching up!)

I had no intention of putting my eldest daughter in school this year.  I figured I would reap the last drops of my sweet girl before she began the never-ending journey that is her education.  I have a sappy heart and for selfish reasons didn't want to let my girl go.  Well after a discussion with Kaelyn on the prospect of school and the enthusiasm she didn't try to hide from weak old mom... I decided to let my little bird fly.   After asking around and checking it out online we decided on a local school that just so happened to have two available spots… one for Kaelyn and one for her bestie, Luke.   After touring the school… Kaelyn was sold and there was no looking back.   Which brings us to today.   Kaelyn marched down the hallway and made herself at home in her new classroom.     I was the mom that was in the car loop twenty minutes early after the longest three hours of my life.   She  got in the car and proceeded ...
