Good times

Anna and her daddy spent a little time flying a kite this afternoon.

And just as she was getting tired.....

The neighbors showed up with candy and tractors!!!
Then all was well!!

Quick Update

Yes, I realize it has been almost forever since you've seen an update from me. It seems like this last month has been so incredibly busy for us and I've just not a had a chance to sit down and do this. So instead of doing laundry right now while Anna's napping, I'm doing this. I hope you guys appreciate my procrastinating on the laundry to keep you all informed. :)

Anna has really started playing with her baby dolls. These have never really been her favorite toys, up until now. It's so cute too. I can ask her where her baby is and she'll run right over to the toys and start searching for her baby.

She also likes covering the baby doll up with blankets.......or whatever she can find. In this case, it was the dirty laundry. Yes, I made the mistake of leaving the laundry in the hallway, and Anna found it. You can see the little baby's head sticking out the top of the pile of clothes. :)

These next pictures I took just this morning. Anna found this gift bag in the closet. So I opened it up and sat her inside. She thought it was the funniest thing. Too bad I wasn't quick enough to catch the laughter. Instead I got this face.....

But once she got done playing inside of it, she threw one of the handles over her shoulder and started dragging it around the house with her. She loves to pretend to carry a purse. I guess she takes after her mother and likes big purses.

I didn't get a picture of it, but shortly after this picture was taken, I found her over in a corner of the kitchen filling the gift bag up with dog biscuits. She's a mess.

Happy Easter!!

The Entertainer

This is a quick post and the rest of the story will come later, but I'm tired so this will have to do for now. :) Thank you for understanding.

Last Monday, I kept both Anna and Katie. I did not realize that Anna was such an entertainer until I saw this.... (that's Anna under the bucket)

Then this.......
She was playing peek-a-boo with Katie.....with a bucket on her head!!

She loves to help with the laundry

She does such a good job of helping me with the laundry. She'll take it all out of the basket, and then put it all back in. She'll do it over and over until I've finally taken everything and folded it...

or until I put her in the basket with the towels!!

Someone got a haircut....

.....and it wasn't Anna. That would mean that it must have been me!!! Yep, I cut off more than 12 inches of hair!!! I'm guessing that you'll probably want to see what it looks like so I took a picture. Yes, I took it. I didn't ask my husband to, that would have made too much sense. Instead I took a picture of myself using the mirror. This would be ok except there's a smear on the mirror and it happens to be at my right eye, so please disregard. Oh, and also, let me just say, this is my hair after a workout so keep that in mind. It's not perfectly done or freshly washed and dryed, but you'll get the idea. And by the way, I totally love the new cut!!! Love, love, love it!!! I hope you guys do too.

And as a bonus, I donated my hair to locks of love. Since I cut off more than 10 inches, I was able to save it and mail it in (which is why I was able to get a picture of the ponytail with a ruler).

I can't wait to get her in dance class

She's walking all over the place now, and she seems to be getting a little cocky about it. :) You can see in this picture, she's trying to dance!!!

She's just getting so big.
