Busy Day 2....

High: We got tons of stuff done :)
Low: Claire slept late and now I am worried that she will be all off schedule for tomorrow:( AND word is that the weather is supposed to be terrible tomorrow :(

Well talk about being busy! Today Mark got the lawn done - FYI he is all about the lawn now, he is out there double mowing, switching blades, watering...its crazy...but the lawn does look great! - anyway, Mark got the lawn done, scrubbed the awning, and finished mulching the yard. I got all the inside stuff done, made the fruit salad, and the brownies. AND we had time for a visit from Grandma and Grandpa. AND a visit from my friend Jessica and Claire's friend Giada.


Today we introduced Claire to the sprinkler. Let's just say, not so much!!

Here is Claire getting just close enough that the water touched her toe.

And here is Claire running like a madwoman AWAY from the sprinkler!!!

She did let Daddy carry her through (about 94 times).

A little playtime with her friend Giada.


Hot mama Giada sportin' her adorable new haircut and earrings. Isn't she beautiful! The poor thing, I just kiss up those cheeks whenever she is around!

Claire was funny today, anytime Giada went to me, Mark, or Grandma she would run over and say "Uppy please!" Usually she isn't so jealous, but today she did not want to share her peeps!

Then after Giada left, it was straight up playtime with Grandpa! She wanted Grandpa to push her around on her bike!

When Grandpa got tired Daddy had to push her around!

Then when Daddy got tired Claire pushed Daddy around!

Then when Claire got tired Daddy pushed Grandma around!

Then when Daddy got tired Claired wanted to push Norman Beans around!

Then it was tubbie time and time to get ready for a good night sleep before the big party! We promote Claire to express herself but I am thinking that this do is a little much! And yes, I believe she is giving a thumbs up for her new do!

So my goal for tomorrow is to be as relaxed as possible while doing the final touches for the party. I also plan on enjoying this party and not being a madwoman the whole time (wish me luck!!). Above all else, I just want to Claire to enjoy this party with all the people who love her so much!!!!! She is such a lucky little girl to have sooo many people who love her and want to share her special day with her!!!!!!!!!!! Please say a prayer that the weather is decent. And also say a prayer that if the weather MUST be yucky that we can still make this party perfect!!!

Good luck with the party tomorrow (and if you figure out how to not be a madwoman and how to enjoy the party - you must let me know your secret!)

And I think Poppy was wearing the same little outfit as Claire yesterday! (old sames)

I adore her bath time hair! What makes that picture even better is her giving the "thumbs up" too cute ;)
