Why Do I Love Staying Home?

It is the greatest thing in the world to be able to have a dancing/lip syncing party on a Friday morning with Lucy and Emma.

Fairy or Ferry?

Emma came home from school so excited. "Mom! Mrs. H told us today that if you go to see the Statue of Liberty you have to take a fairy to get there!"

Young Love

Jonathan is in 1st grade now. He has always had a soft heart but he has fallen hard for a girl named Charlotte. She is the "new girl" in class. He's talked about her a bit to me but I overheard him talking to his big sister the other day and got the real scoop. Their little conversation went like this......
Jonathan said something about Charlotte being so pretty, then Cynthia said,
"Who's Charlotte, is Charlotte your best friend?"

"No, I've never even talked to her, I just like to look at her all the time."
So sweet, just like his Daddy!

Toddlers

Lucy really never wants to take a nap but some days are worse than others. Today was a worse day and I had no energy to be the kind of Mommy that just puts her foot down. After some bargaining and bartering come to find out.....all she needed to happily take a nap was, no pants, a princess fanny pack and a chef's hat. Who knew? Just when I think toddlers are impossible she makes me remember why they are also THE BEST!!!!!!!!

My Bed

This is my attempt at making my front yard a pretty place. I don't know how well a succeeded but it makes me smile. Sometimes a even stop and just stare at it.

Especially this part. I love the little Fairy!

I'm Pretty Sure No One Reads This

I'm pretty sure no one reads my blog but I like going back and looking at the pictures so I'm going to keep posting.

Here is the back of Lucy's head and the tick that I found attached to the back of her head is there too. I really couldn't get a good picture but you can sort of see it's legs if you look closely.

Here's is the nasty thing after I pulled it out.

Jonathan's Birthday and a Little Cuteness

The Birthday boy!!

Jonathan's "Golden Snitch" pinata




Jonathan turned 7 and we had a great time. It was somewhat of a Harry Potter themed party. On his actual birthday we took him to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D. He has loved these movies since he was just a year old so it was perfect that they were in theaters on his big day.




Now just a little dose of cuteness from the party!
