Things I Love Thursdays

Taking Megan to the zoo with my mom!

We had such a good day. The weather was a little chilly so we bundled up and spent the afternoon just walking around and looking at all the animals. Megan got to feed the giraffes, ride the merry-go-round twice, and we took a train ride. We then met Papa for dinner. It was "A Perfect Day" (I'm hearing the Fresh Beat Band in my mind)!!!

Things I Love Thursdays

This little thing. I love her so much and today was a special day for her. She turned three! She is cute, funny, smart, and tells me everyday that I'm her best friend. She is my best friend too.

I love you Meggie Moo.

Dora Wanta-Be

Today Megan got dressed all by herself.

Do you see a resemblance?????

She must have heard me tell Mark the other day while we were talking about Dora, "Who dresses their kid with a pink shirt and orange pants?"

Apparently I DO!!!!

Megan Monet

Megan has found something new that she absolutely loves, painting. As a nice surprise my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law treated me and Megs to a special day at one of those painting places. We had such a good time. Megs and I both painted plates. Here are pictures of our masterpieces.

Of course mom had to get in on all the fun too but I'm no Monet!

First Hair Cut

Meg's got her first hair cut. She has crazy hair. Nothing drastic, just a trim and a little layering. Of course I think she looks adorable.

Crazy J.T.

My sister-in-law is here for a visit with my nephew J.T. He is so funny and totally different from Megan. Since we only have girls Mark and I have no clue about boys. He is wide open. He makes the funniest sounds, always grunting. If there is a plate of food in front of him he has to put his hands all in it. Megan will just look at him with complete confusion. They are having a blast - I am having a blast. While I’m typing this I am being mauled by the cutest one and two year old I know. I always wanted to be an aunt. I remember being worried that I would fall in love with an only child and then I would never been an aunt. I believe that God heard my prayers and answered them. I also love having a sister.

Yummy M&M's

Who can resist some delicious M&M's? (Megan & Marissa that is!)

Megan and I have spent the week in Minnesota visiting our very good friends, the Coreano's. Chrissie and I have been friends since 9th grade. Now our girls are becoming the best of friends. Actually that last sentence is only my wish. Megan tends to be kind of mean. So far this week has involved Megan taking Marissa's toys away from her while yelling, “MINE!” Megan has also pushed, kicked and to top it all off Megan bit Marissa. The only saving grace in my mind is that the bite happened while they were hugging not fighting. I think my obsession with vampire love stories has rubbed off on my daughter!

Even though my angel has been somewhat of a devil this week Chrissie and I have had a wonderful time together catching up and just hanging out. The reason for this trip was to launch her in her new business with Arbonne. If you know me you know I’m addicted to Arbonne. I love the products and now I’m loving the business. Mark also loves the business, he has already filed our taxes and is waiting patiently for our very large return! Chrissie has decided to jump on the bandwagon with me and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I’m so happy that she has decided to join this journey with me. We had a couple of great parties and she has more scheduled. Way to go Chrissie, you are going to rock it!
