Spring is in the air!

You can't wipe the grin off this little girl's face these days.  She would take a nap outside if we let her!

Sunday is the first day of Spring!

Enjoying the mix of the seasons.  Winter boots with Summer sidewalk chalk.



A good dose of Vitamin D.



Miss Diva!

Happy Weekend!

Narrator

"Dadddddy? DAAAAADDDDDY!"

"Daddy, Hi Daddy, reeeeeead iTTT"

Daddy tilts his head.

"Peeeassssse"

It's her favorite book right now.  Mommy's all time favorite.  "Love You Forever" She calls it her baby book because she loves to point out the baby that the mama is rocking.  She knows when the baby is being naughty and makes a mess, she knows when the baby buys a house, she knows when the mama calls because she's getting sick ("sick. sad. hug"), she can spot the kitty on every page. She can narrate every page for you, even up to the detail that the boy is cooking 'nooonels' {noodles} when the mom calls. 

She could sit for hours and read book after book after book.  Only of course, if she can sit on your 'yap" {lap}.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Don't forget your green!

Two Tu Tus for Two, Almost-Two-Year-Olds!

As many of you know Sally and her cousin, Lucy, are only two weeks apart.  Lucy turns two on Easter Sunday. Since we'll all be home together we are also going to be celebrating the girls turning two.  Why not have a tu-tu party for the two year olds?

Have you seen the going rate for some tu-tus?  They range anywhere from $25-$45.  That seemed a little crazy for me, so I asked my good friend Tiffany if she could help us out with some tu-tus.  She sent me the link of what she wanted to do and I loved it.  I also thought, hmmm, that doesn't seem so hard.  You guys, I made two tu-tus all.by.myself! It was so fun and Sally loves them! 

I thought about combining the two colors, but thought it would be fun to have two different tu-tus instead of two of the same.  It was so easy, you can do it too!  Take a look here.  Oh, and by the way, EACH tu-tu was a total of $6, SIX DOLLARS!!

Pictures worth a thousand words...

Does this picture not sum up the anticipation of Spring? We got outside yesterday, even if it was only for a sliver of time.  It was an hour of sunshine on our side of the block that we usually don't have after nap time.  We like springing ahead at our house.  Especially when the little sleeps until 9:30am!

Cool picture, isn't it?  Thank you to Baby Christensen for sharing your rain boots with Sally! She loved being able to splish splash in the puddles!

They're saying most of this snow will be melted by the end of the week.  Do you believe it?

She looks a little bit like a homeless person with her mismatched outfit, but she doesn't care, she's outside!!

She still loves spotting her airplanes! Such a better view outside, instead of from the front door!

Spring Weather, Where are you?!

Last night, Reid and I looked back at posts from last year at this time.  During this same week we had lunch OUTSIDE and there was no snow on the ground.  Ugh.  Can we PAWLEASE! go outside and play soon?

The weather looks like it is suppose to warm up, so we're hopeful!  This little love wants to go out and play!

Special Time With Daddy

Last night, I co-hosted a baby shower with my friend Kari, for our friend Tiffany. It was a lot of fun to have all the ladies together to celebrate Baby Girl Christensen!

Sally got to have special daddy time.  They went out to dinner together and then had some time to kill before they headed to ECFE.  So, Daddy decided to go to the party store.  He got a few pictures of some of Sally's favorite items at the store.

Happy Weekending =)

Prayers

Each morning when Sally wakes up, we make sure to say "Good Morning" to Jesus.  She has this banner in her room.  She loves to lean over and give kisses and hugs to the Big Guy. We have a favorite morning prayer that we say each morning as well.

"Oh my God I love you,
You're with me night and day.
I want to love you always,
in all I do and say.
I'll try to please you Father,
bless me through the day."
Amen!

Sally loves going to Church.  The little love got to go to Ash Wednesday Mass twice.  If she starts to get naughty and she gets 'the look' from Mommy or Daddy she'll say "Jesus watching!"  If only it could be this easy, right?

Here's a quick clip of her learning her before meal prayer...
