Great weekend

Saturday o attended her first crawfish boil with Jackie and Brock. From all accounts she had a blast.








While she was living the good life I was at landry's vineyard in west Monroe with friends. We were celebrating shelley and chad's anniversary. Sadly I have no pics of Shelley or chad!


Ran into Melissa Kiper as we were leaving!


The boy came over today and we took o to LPP for a picnic lunch and play time. She is an expert duck feeder. I think those ducks are the best fed in the south!


The piers were taken and the grass was wet so we took the boat ramp!

Sharing, shoes and scavaging

Tuesday morning o wanted cookies for breakfast. I do sometimes draw the line. So we compromised and I let her take them to school to share at snack time. She was thrilled to do this. Made me happy that she is so giving with her favorite foods. She told me what color all of her friends were going to get!


She's on a shoe kick. Poor thing has the wrong mama for this. I am NOT a shoe person! A friend gave us several pairs of hand-me-down shoes. They are all too big right now. That doesn't stop her from playing in them! The Barbie boots and sparkly slip-ons are her fav! She puts them on and asks me to take her picture!








Last night I gave her a little debbie snack cake for dessert. She ate half and threw it away. A little while later she asked for her cake back. It was almost time for bed and it was in the trash so i told her no. About 10 min later she walked into the living room clearly eating cake. I asked her where she got it. She very shyly told me the trash can! OMG. I couldn't even get on to her bc I was laughing so hard. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures!

And random for documentation. They planted plants at school this week. I'm thrilled she's learning and doing so much.

Birthday parties and Spring game 2012

After put put golf one would think the weekend couldn't get much better. Wrong! Saturday started with 2 birthday parties. Brett Bell turned 3 and Amelia Costanza turned 2! O loves her some Brett bell. Sadly he's been moved up to the next class now. His party was at Trinity. O always has fun at those parties bc she's familiar with the area/toys.


Jumping with Brett and Brice Canterbury.


And the sole reason I think she goes to parties! Ha!

We stayed there for 45 min and then headed to Amelia's party at her house. Val had the right idea. Throw the kids in the backyard and set up some lawn chairs on the deck! My how I wish I had some shade in my backyard so I could do the same!!


From there we went to the spring game tailgate. Jackie, Brock and Matt met us there. O demolished a hotdog and then her dad picked her up.


We proceeded on to the game.





This is where the photos end. Me, the boy and missy went for crawfish after the game at ponchatoulas, then we walked to sundown, then to portico for dinner and then (and I kid you not) back to sundown to end the night. It was a long day! But it was fun!


Sunday afternoon we played outside for a little bit. She's such a diva! And is outgrowing her sandbox!

Date night

We had dinner plans last night but nothing else planned. A patient had given the boy a Copeland's gift card so I told him I could help him use it! Ha! I mean who doesn't love that fried bow tie pasta?!? He HATES pictures and only obliges my request every so often so there are no pics from dinner. But hey. If my picture taking obsession is the only thing that bothers him I can live with that! After dinner I suggested a trip to target or the mall. He suggested an electronics store. Neither of us needed anything; we were just bored. So we compromised on put put golf! What a fun little spontaneous date!





Earlier this week I went to brew haha at the Dixie with a group of friends. While not nearly as funny as last year I did enjoy myself.





And bc she's the one you come here to see. We love playing I the backyard with this wonderful weather we've been having!!

Easter 2012

What a weekend! Our long holiday weekend started on Good Friday with shopping and lunch with Jackie and missy. Then a movie date with Ella Clair and Carter Love. The lorax was a cute movie with a good message but I'm positive it was over o's head.


Saturday we headed to w'boro to be with the fam. We hunted eggs.


Dyed eggs.





Opened presents from cool cousins.


Ate, played, got extremely dirty and played some more. After no nap and then staying up until 10 pm the Easter bunny needed a certain little girl to go to bed!


Sunday started with more presents.








Then on to church. This was o's first time in big church and she did really well. But I am so thankful for the nursery bc we're not ready for big church on a full time basis yet! Her expression sums up her morning. She was TIRED and it was a long morning for all of us!


But I got some confirmation that im doing some things right-on our potty break during the service she asked me if this is where baby Jesus lived. I confirmed that we were in fact in baby jesus' dad's house and she just nodded her head like she understood. Then she saw the nursery next to the bathroom and asked if those were baby Jesus' toys! Ha!








She chose a pb&j for lunch.


I left her in w'boro to spend another night bc she loves it there so much. Although I do feel bad bc she was in such a foul mood this morning! Hopefully she's in a better mood after over a 3 hour nap! I met a friend for crawfish in Monroe on my way home and they were delish!


Happy Easter to all!

More Easter activities

O's egg hunt at school was this past Thursday. It was our first organized holiday party at school and was so much fun. Both her dad and I joined her for a picnic at school then the hunt.


The mad rush for eggs!








Friday we both got much needed haircuts. While waiting she put on 4 different layers of lipstick.





Saturday morning was the KD egg hunt.














I spent Saturday afternoon running errands and shopping then met up with friends for crawfish.


This pic was just cute so I wanted to post it.
