Getting ready for a brother...


P practicing her culinary skills...

At Chuck E Cheese with some of her favorite peeps...

Helping me get ready for a brother. When I was pregnant with P, I had all the extra time in the world to get her room ready. I painted on the wall, several canvases, etc. etc. Now - this little boy (Who is still nameless) will be here in about 12 weeks and there is nothing for him but some furniture that his sister is still using (at least for another 7-10 days)! So, while you are entertaining a 2 year old, you might as well put her to work. She LOVED painting on the canvas - and now every day says, "Mommy, I Paint."
I guess I brought this on myself, but I do love how much she likes to color, draw, paint, play with stickers, and color with chalk. Well, that's all for now, just wanted to put up a new post. Have a great day!

Happy New Year!




Happy New Year! We had a very busy but exciting Christmas. I am not sure if P really understood the whole Santa ordeal, but she got so many presents on Christmas morning - I thought she was going to internally combust. Among the favorites: Cars (yes, cars), a set of new colors, several purses from CeCe (my mom) and Aunt Tiff, and a baby stroller. She has loved playing outside with new bouncy balls - and chasing the dogs. Obviously, she still loves to color - and will color on anything, with anything at anytime. She is also a girl after my own heart - and loves shoes... as seen above in Daddy's boots. People ask me if she understands about a baby brother coming soon, and when I ask her - she says "Yes, Baby!" Then in the next sentence, something about cars, colors or play-doh. You know - the attention span of a 2 year old. Anyway - we rang in the new year, and are still trying to unpack everything. I know I haven't posted any pics of the new house - will try to do that soon. Hope you all are having a great '08!
