Day 227

Happy Birthday Boo...

Today was the start of a VERY busy weekend! Just today we had a soccer game, volleyball game, engagement shoot & then back to Granny & Chippy's for a mini-bday celebration for a special someone! L hit the jackpot with a Hannah Montana doll and closet and you can see she was over the moon about it.

Me & Daddy picked out this cute little outfit at Limited Too for her so she had to model it. L just loooooves clothes!
Then it was time for cake and Granny had found the perfect one!

Blowing out the candles which we had to do twice because uncle Alan had come home just seconds after she blew them out the first time. So we re-lit them and sang again, after all, you can't hear the birthday song too many times, right?

Day 226

Marketing Magic...

So being the youngest has it's perks, like being the one who usually gets to go to the grocery store with mommy. This means that you get to choose breakfast cereal and snacks and fun stuff like that.
Well, after being bombarded with commercials for these Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws for a couple weeks now, C flipped when he saw them in the breakfast aisle so of course we had to give them a try! Yippee!

After he helped mommy at the U-Scan check out lane (which takes 10 times longer with my helper) and after unloading the car when we got home; he washed his hands (grocery stores are so yucky) and he dug in to an ice cold glass of milk with the yummy "straw". The funny thing, he finished the milk in record time and left the straw in the glass after two bites...DOH! Money well spent, right?

Day 225

Teddy Bear Picnic...

Today was L's Teddy Bear Picnic at school and she brought her bear, Giggles, as her guest! She had a great gingham dress on which she thought was perfect for a picnic! And of course a temporary tattoo makes for an exquisite accessory to any ensemble!!
All packed up and ready for the bus! Have fun L & Giggles!

Day 224

Happy, happy, joy, joy...

Whoo hooo!!! Got my book in from Amazon today! I swear, these books are AWESOME! Never in my life have I read 13 books in about 6 month's time. This is a "between the numbers" book and I am about half way through the one that comes before it so I was purposely taking my sweet time with it. Janet Evanovich's writing is so sharp and humorous, her descriptions make you feel like you are seeing everything she sees...FAB-U-LOUS!

Day 223

Green...

This little guy was hanging out on the window this morning while we were waiting for L's bus. A little on the slimy side, but I like frogs.
Once he was finished sliming up the window, he jumped into the bushes and then disappeared. With all the rain we have been having, I am sure this won't be the last we see of him.
In other news, tonight was C's first soccer practice and he loved it! We need to run to Academy and get him some cleats and soccer socks with built-in shin guards because these ones were a pain to get on. He has also asked for some soccer t-shirts too and I am sure we will be able to find a couple!

Day 221

G.I. Whoa...

Seen this generation's version of G.I. Joe yet? Get a gander at this dude.
Anyone else have some serious doubts that the G.I. Joe of old (a brunette Barbie Ken doll with fatigues and a hand gun) got this new physique with good nutrition and exercise? Uhmmm, ya. Looks like Joe's been chemically enhanced.
And holy cow he is packing some serious heat these days. Good grief, is that a rocket launcher?
