Baby Birdies

We have a few bird eggs in the tree on our patio. I peeked out the glass tonight and saw the momma sitting on her eggs. So cute.


The future babes! Such a pretty color!

Happy Earth Day 2013!

Here are a few pictures from our patio weekend. We cleaned up a bit and spent a lot of time out there at the request of Sarah.


It is 5am. Can we go out now?

New trees from work. Hope to plant for our "real" yard sometime.

Let's get rid of those leaves!

Pooped. I need to relax for 2 seconds.

piggy back ride! (not a huge fan of it yet!)

Trying to run over everyone with Gus.

Dance Fest!

I steal your doggie bed! Reminds me of the one she sleeps in at school.

Outdoor "must-haves"

Another reason why my dog is a chubber....



She couldn't get this off her head. I had to laugh a bit while she banged around with it since she couldn't see anything!!!

Diaper Cake

Still a bit in process but I had been dying to make one.  Here it is. Still a few tweaks to make. And yes there is a chair on top of the table in the background. Sarah keeps on trying to take it out on the patio. Much too nice for that so it will be there for a bit.

Spring is here!

Updates from the week. We lost our now fifth bid on a house.  Taking a few days off before we start looking again.  This is just nuts!

Sarah got her first bad report card from school this week. She was pushing and scratching at the other kids.  I talked to about it when we got home.  However, I did feel that it was pointless because does she really understand. However, maybe it worked because no bad report card the next day.

She is also loving our itty bitty back porch/yard bring out her magnets, chairs, toys every night. However, her favorite thing is opening and shutting the screen door and going in and out. Is there such thing as a kiddie door(like a doggie door)? Going to do some sprucing up of the backyard this weekend since we won't be moving anytime soon.



New duds! And she even wore her headband!


This is her chair on top of my chair that she wouldn't let me sit in.  The she decides she should sit in it and be able to rock in it. Sarah learned that it doesn't work and decided to have a massive temper tantrum to let me know.  I thought it was quite funny.



Also, this kid is nuts for nutragrain bars. I think we have like 4 meltdowns a night.  Last night, we gave her one in the wrapper which she seemed happy with.  It finally calmed her down to sleep so she fell asleep with it gripped in her hands.  Weirdest obsession...

I did finally convince her to eat blueberries.  It involved putting it in her yogurt several times. Letting her smush them and throw them and then the kicker. Letting her see me eat mine.  See how she has two containers. Yep, she had to eat mine. 














Didn't mean to be so negative! Overall good weekend just those pesky toddler meltdowns.  Getting excited about the upcoming strawberry picking season!

Nonononono!

The above is Sarah's favorite phrase.  Oy! I thought I maybe skated by without going through that stage. Yep, we are in it.

Sarah = opposite of tomboy

Yet, she is still Miss Busybody. That is her nickname among the teachers. I keep on asking Brett what does she do at school?!??!  Her teacher did give me some tidbits this week.  The new little boy in the class is her favorite. She is always trying to feed him and goes over to comfort him if she is crying.  She is quite sweet on him.



Chuggington

Sarah has become a big fan of Chuggington. Yep, I let her watch tv before age 2, but it makes it so much easier in the mornings especially since I have a neverending cold( not to mention food poisoning this weekend).



She rather watch the show than eat breakfast, carry purses, etc. It is quite impressive.  She throws herself onto the couch all by herself and doesn't mind sitting there. She sits there wide eyed and most of the time very erect. As soon as it ends, she pops off and runs off to do something else.

If this pace keeps up we may be buying a train set.
