Fun filled Friday!

Today was 'drop in day' at my new classroom where I will be starting Mother's Day out. These are my two new teachers, Miss Rachel and Miss April. I can't wait to start next Tuesday.

Tonight was Family Fun night over at the Eastern Shore and they had all kinds of cool stuff and almost all of it was free. I even got to sit in the Daphne Fire Truck! They told me that I was officially a junior fireman and that I could visit the firehouse any time I wanted. 

Check out this cool water fountain. I even asked to take my shoes off!!! (and for those of you who don't know...I am a shoe nazi and ALWAYS have to have my shoes on. I would wear them to sleep if Mom and Dad would let me! I even try to make sure everyone else has their shoes on,  too. So watch out! and you better be wearing your shoes!)

After a quick bite to eat, it was time for the free movie by the fountain. They were showing the Tales of Despereaux. Mom and Dad weren't sure how it was going to go, but after getting my free bag of popcorn I settled in and watched almost an hour of the movie. Too bad I started getting hyper and kept running away from our blanket. I guess we will have to rent the movie to see how it ends. All in all, what a great day! More fun tomorrow....

Goggles and Waffles!

I found these goggles outside this morning and insisted on wearing them while eating my waffles! Mom is constantly telling me what a character I am.

It's the simple things in life....

like riding horse on daddy's back.....

or riding the carousel at the mall....

or watching "Mick" mouse on you tube with my mimi......

or using a mixing bowl as a hat......

......and this is what happens when you refuse to take an afternoon nap! 

Tuesday Randoms...

Last weekend, Mimi and Doc had this safety fence installed, so I can play in the backyard without having to worry so much about the pool. They said the nice thing about it is that it is easily removable and it has a gate! 

My new two favorite things....my Thomas the train set and my NEW Elmo backpack! Mom decided it was time for me to get a new "diaper bag" for school and this is the one I picked out. I LOVE wearing it and showing it off to everyone I meet! 

Another activity I really enjoy doing is washing my hands. Mom thought at first I just liked to be clean, but now she know that I just like playing in the water. Ha!

Great Grandmother Marion, aka, Mae Mae, brought me over some fresh cantaloupe yesterday morning. It is my favorite thing to have for breakfast (besides pancakes, of course).

See Papaw....the guys have nights out, too! The guys- minus Luke (because it was past his bedtime)- went out to dinner last night for some guy time. 

That's all for now, except for this conversation that Luke and I had last night after dinner.... Picture this.... Luke shuts the door to the laundry room and starts knocking on the door and I, of course, am on the other side of the door.

Luke: "Knock, Knock! Knock Knock!"

Me: "Who is it?"

Luke: "Mommy!"

He's still learning the concept of the knock knock game but this totally cracked me up. I think you just had to be there b/c this little snippet doesn't do it justice. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

Scrapbooking Roll!

The past few weeks I have been on a scrapbooking roll.... I have done 48 pages (24 two page layouts). I just do a page here and there while Luke naps or at night after he goes to bed. I am ALMOST caught up. I have 4 events left to do and then I will be caught up. My goal is to get them done before Mother's Day out starts the middle of August. I think I can! I think I can!

The above layout is my most recent one (finished today) and it is my NEW favorite! Everyone I complete becomes my new favorite, but this one REALLY is my favorite. The one's below are just a sampling of some pages I have done lately.

Girl's night out!

The girls left the hubbies and kids at home and went to La Pizzaria for dinner! The pizza was fabulous and it was great to get to hang out with old friends. We must make this at LEAST a monthly tradition!

More Beach Pics

This was a quick and dirty way for me to post a lot more beach pictures. I played around with the Picasa program and the above mosaic is the product. Not bad for just throwing it together. Sorry about the lack of details, but I have a lot of irons in the fire. Some of the highlights from the weekend as pictured above include, watching the sunset from our balcony every night, playing cranium and ticket to ride, Luke saying his first 4 word sentence "Mommy, I jumped in!", eating at Cobalt and getting a necklace made from a pearl found in an oyster, the lazy river and the over sized turtles, and just plain ol' hanging out and horsing around!
