Playdate with the Cousins!

Today (and this weekend in general) was a fun day for Lucy. She got to spend time with her some of her aunts and uncles (Julie, Tina, Chris, Kenneth, and Keith) and many of her crazy cousins (Abby, Luke, Emma, Sammy and Sabrina). Sacred Heart had a picnic in the park with tons of free festivities for kids. There were 4 bounce house/obstacle courses for all ages, a HUGE train giving rides, face painting, cotton candy, snow cones, kettle corn, bingo games, clowns with prizes, and a balloon maker - ALL FREE! So all the family came out and we spent 3 hours down in the park enjoying the weather, food, and family.

Playing in our Bumbo seat before Sabrina comes to play....




And promptly takes it over....


Sammy loving every millisecond of the train ride. I think he invited all these random kids back to the house.



Sabrina didn't want to get out of her very first "bouncy bouncy."




Sara "Star" clown. She gave out cool toys like stencils, balls, and yo-yo's... which Sammy will eventually master.
Emma and I stood patiently in line for 30 minutes to get a butterfly hat. Then part of it popped. Sigh.... Sammy got an orange dinosaur and Julie, I mean "Sabrina" got a mermaid (which was a little disturbing of you ask me. Very adult-ish mermaid... Chris liked her).


Then it was time to try bananas in the new highchair. They smell disgusting, but I guess they are good b/c she ate them in record time! ... and now a video for Grandma and Grandpa - Lucy misses you!

fruit, fun, and other random things

Uncle John, a twin (I so can't tell if it is Izzie or Maddie in this pic), and Mommy all feeding Lucy together.


So apparently the new funny is the word "anyways" - which, by the way, isn't really a word. But it doesn't matter in Lucy's world; it is the definition of hysterical. She was giggling up a storm when Daddy was saying 'anyways' over and over again. He is kinda funny looking, so maybe that was it. I am sure tomorrow it won't be cool anymore, and we will have to, yet again, figure out the 'in' thing.

I am very excited about the exersaucer score today! Our town has a community-wide garage sale once a year, and you would think Disney World was free to the public by the amount of people who come to shop! It is insanity, but nevertheless, super fun. "Anyways", Cody, Grandma Charlotte, Lucy and I set out on a quest to find a walker/exersaucer for less than the $100 that stores want. I walked away with an amazing one for $25, and it has all the bells and whistles. Charlotte also scored one, and a cute musical chair, for a grand total of $20.50. I am sure we could have found more things, but it was rainy, cold, and Cody is cheap ;) Lucy likes her new digs, so all is well with the world.

We also started solid foods this week - Pears and Peaches in addition to the oatmeal. She adores Peaches. Sidebar: Wasn't there a song in like 1995 called Peaches? I think it was alternative? Hubby thinks I am nuts, but I know it exists. Millions of Peaches, Peaches for free... I digress.

Oh, and this is the new highchair we have yet to use. It is super fashionable, though, so it looks cute in the kitchen :) Lucy likes it, she is just too small. Which is more than I can say for the bumbo seat - her adorable chunky legs *which she totally got from me* get stuck! Poor girl... we shall introduce her to Mommy's favorite sport of walking early in life. She doesn't need to get Mommy's chubby butt as well...


...and here is her adorableness captured in video... right after she stopped her hyena-like laugh. She is so aware of the camera...


She Wears High Heels....

And now it is time for a fall fashion show, brought to you by little miss Lucy! Enjoy


This is baby Arturo fashion wear, brought to you by Kendall McLeod, one of my students. This was the nickname Lucy had in 7th grade last year, before we knew her gender. 7th graders are strange. Apparently her sibling will be named Keokyo Kiwi?


Daddy's little college football companion. Sigh.

Go Lindsay Knights! *She will be a DANCER, not a cheerleader, just to clarify.



This is an outfit passed down. I believe both my sister and I wore it when were little. Isn't she a precious thing!?!

Still a little big, but maybe will be the perfect Valentine's outfit? Another one of Mommy's old outfits. Previously as seen on Sabrina, I believe.
