neck pillow=serious sleeping

Sat. 9/19

* After a very long day...and staying up waaaayyy past her bedtime...L finally went to sleep...she always has to "stack her pillows like Daddy does"....I went downstairs to watch the end of Saturday Night Live(I told you it was wwaayy past her bedtime)...and M came downstairs looking for my camera....she apparently needed her little neck pillow too......which she usually just plays with...it was too cute...she was propped so high up...and was so still and peaceful...and snoring like a grown man....aaahhhh

***MAKE SURE YOU PAUSE THE MUSIC ON THE RIGHT OF MY BLOG BEFORE PLAYING THE VIDEO....I guess because I used to my camera to record her..it didn't pick up the sound real well.......I had to turn my speakers all the way up...but listen...you can hear.:)

What is it about the ringing of the ice cream man's truck...

that sends us all into a tailspin?

We have heard the truck for the past few days...

but it has been during dinner time...getting ready for bed...or something...

he has been coming by late....

BUT...

today was a different story..

L was playing in her playroom when she heard THE song...

"MOMMY...THE ICE CREAM MAN!!!!"

SO, we ran outside...he was passing our house...she was screaming ..
"STOP..STOP..ICE CREAM MAN!!"

He didn't stop...she can in crying..

Daddy to the rescue...they grabbed the car key and tried to hunt him down in the neighborhood..

NO LUCK!!!

L came back in, got undressed, and was going to start playing dress up...WHEN..

what do we hear?? THE music...AGAIN!!!

SO..Daddy ran outside to catch him..

L got dressed...

she was hurrying as fast as she possibly could....

Mommy grabbed the money...

we were SO going to get him!!!

..and off we ran out the door..

and Mommy got so tickled!!!

L had put her shorts on...

BUT..both legs were in one of the leg openings...

it was too funny the way she was running...

kind of like the way you walk when you try shoes on at Target that are "connected"

We laughed and laughed...and then....

(Pictures are in reverse order)

I got so tickled taking this picture...notice the t-shirt....inside out and backwards..

(with her tattoo work on her arms)

he was out of bomb pops, so she settled for an ice cream sandwich

hhmm...what looks good?!
what should I choose?

"ICE CREAM MAN!"

(with her tattoo work on her leg)

check out the shorts...love the Dora panties poking out of the top of her shorts...soo sooo cute!!!

P.S...She took one bite of the ice cream, and decided she didn't really want it....it was the thrill of the hunt she was after!

MDO Silly socks and hat day..

Thurs. 9/17

S Day at school

Silly socks and silly hat day

...and a silly face to go along with it.;)
the best I could do ...couldn't find the silly socks I was wanting..oh well...she still had fun and liked her socks...that's all that matters.

2 napping parents =

Sun. 9/13/2009
...fun time with Mommy's camera..:)
Apparently when both of your parents are sawing some serious logs during nap time.....it's best to have a "party in Mangie's room"

and document it with photos.:)....

L was supposed to be napping too....BUT..by the looks of it...

not much napping was going on!!

First day of MDO...2009!

(First Day of MDO-2007)..notice the doorknob...she is so close...then look at this year...wow..what a difference a few years makes...from sweet baby face...to big girl.:(

(FIRST DAY of MDO..2008)

9/2008

Um excuse me....where did my baby go?!?!?!

Tues. Sept. 8,2009

L LOVES going to "school"....but told me this morning..

"Mommy, I am happy at home...and I am sad at school...so I think I should stay home!"

She shed a few tears...but had a good day.:) She was trying to be so big...you can tell in this picture she had been crying.

We did have a little shoe drama this morning...we picked out her clothes last night...shoes, bows and all....the sweetest little navy Mary Janes....BUT...as you can see, she wore her tennis shoes....

I got teared up after taking this picture..

she looks so big...

and I know next year..

Kindergarten..

will be here in the blink of an eye!!

and of course...she had to strike a pose!

**L told us tonight during dinner..."My friends at school are boring..and not exciting...so I think I should stay home!"....silly girl!!

SCORE!!!

Monday 9/7/2009

Once you pick your jaw up off the ground...since I"m actually blogging..:)

L has been talking about playing soccer for such a long time.

"When I"m big, I'm going to play soccer like Dora and Max!"

She talks about it A LOT!!!

SO...we decided to see how she would do...after a quick trip to Target...

we had a ball, socks, and shoes....

she wanted a helmet too..but we told her that was for a different sport! :)

She was a natural...we couldn't get over how good she was at kicking the ball around.......so, you guessed it...we'll be signing up for soccer...we're still looking around...she is going to try out a class at Soc*cer*tots.....stay tuned..

(pictures are in reverse order)

Red cheeks from playing hard
"I"m good at soccer...but I need to take a break from my practicing!"
such a hoot!

And away she goes...
