Random Musings

These are just random musings over the past 2 days.  And yes, it's from a happy housewife! :)

Yesterday  H

and I went to the park for a picnic

and some fun. Only it's not so much

fun when your mom is sitting at the picnic

table eating her delicious Panera and you have

to sit on one end of the teeter totter waiting

for her to be done!  :) 

Her favorite thing- the slide!

Every day H and I go out and get the mail.

First, she has to look both ways to make sure

there are no cars, then she walks to the mailbox,

stands on her tip toes to open it up and pulls out

the mail, shuts it and proudly walks back in

the house carrying it.  Then she dumps it on the floor

and proceeds to sort through it and open whatever

she thinks is addressed to her! On this particular

day, there was a card from her Auntie Sara

(addressed to me) but she declared it was hers.

So she opened it, "read it" to me, went and colored

it and has carried it around everywhere with her for

the past couple days.  And I mean everywhere.  Into

her bed for naptime, she asks about it before bed

and it goes to the store with us too.  Precious!!

Yesterday, H (who loves to get her nails painted) decided

she wanted them done.  So, she went and got the tray out of

the closet, set it down on the carpet, sat there and called for V

to come and paint her nails.  :)  The only problem is that

H LOVES to have each nail painted a different color

and that drives V NUTS!!  She hates opening a different color

10 times.  And watch out- when she (H) paints your nails,

you will get exactly the same!

These girls argued over and over- V didn't want her nails

painted a different color but that is H's "specialty"!  :)

Translated: that's all that girl will do!

The past 2 days, we have had quite the treat.... daddy has

come early in time for dinner!!  Yesterday, I made one of his

favorite dinners (not knowing he would be home early) and I

also made ice cream for dessert!  We were enjoying our

homemeade butter pecan ice cream.  Yummy!!

Daddy + homemade ice cream=

a perfect night!!!!!

Lately I have mentioned how picky my little H is and

last night she ate all her dinner plus the ice cream!

And I was thinking she was going to pick out the pecans

in the ice cream but nope- she ate it all up and fast!

She was so happy to have him home that she must

not have thought about being picky.  ha!

This girl has "graduated" from always wanting to play

the ipod to now always wanting the ipad. 

I play Sirius radio through my ipad every morning while

I am getting ready (either Elvis or Southern

gospel!)  and when I am making lunches I set it on the bar.

Well, H saw this up there, pulled up a chair, stood up on it

and proceeded to play her games!  That girl, I tell ya!!

This morning, V had a presentation with her Spanish class

after chapel which H and I attended.  It was so fun to hear her

sing praise songs in Spanish plus many other songs!!

Can you find her?  See the girl in the back, middle in the

blue?  Well, count down two to the right and V is in the gray shirt.

After watching V, we came home to clean up

the house and have a tea party.  H discovered

V's tea set last week and since then, at least

5 times a day, she has tea parties.  She sets

everything up and tells us all to come and drink

our tea.  Too cute!!  Except, she has broken 3 pieces

by dropping them but she always says "I sorry"

and then continues to play.  :)  V isn't too happy

but I'm hoping I can glue them back together!

Then, we were off to library

storytime to learn about bugs!

She learned specifically about

caterpillars and the craft was making

a bug jar.  Too cute!!!

I never know how much she truly

remembers about the topics at

storytime but I sure found out today!

As soon as we went outside, she

immediately went over to the plants

and told me she was searching for

caterpillars!!  I couldn't believe it!

Searching for some here....

and here!  And she claims she found

some which I think were just sticks.  :)

She got really into it!!!!

And outside the library, they have

a butterfly garden and today we

found one!  It was sitting on top of

the rock!  Can you see it??

During library storytime, we discovered her

flip flops were breaking (because that's the

only pair of shoes this girl wears!)  So we went

to Old Navy to buy some more and thankfully

they still were selling them so she got 2 new pairs! 

We haven't been to the mall in ages so it was fun to go!

Then we came home and she played with Gage.

They played with chalk on the driveway and

drew pictuers.  Actually she drew polka dots

and he drew me dinosaurs!

Well, hope you enjoyed my "random musings". 

Happy wednesday!!
