a fun day

a couple days ago cailin and i had a fun
day at the mall.  we started at barnes and noble
where she played with the choo choo trains.
we tried to go to story time, but she was all 
over the place, wouldn't sit down and 
just wanted to go back to the trains.  
so we did.


then we stopped at burger king for a "cream cone".

and played in the different toy vehicles. 

she thought this was lightning mcqueen.

then we went to old navy to get some shorts 
for mommy, but she got too distracted by all 
the cute girl clothes and spent 60 bucks
 on cailin instead.  and she didn't want to leave.

cailin's loot

then after a nap cailin enjoyed some 
nini's  (M&M's) while watching cars.

and then mommy made kk's (what she calls herself)
 favorite meal for dinner.  cheese pizza.

it was a good day.  especially for C.

confessions from a mom

i really hate when pieces are missing from toys.  when i clean up i try to make sure all the play house stuff is together, the teaset is complete with matching spoons, saucers, and cups, the blocks are all there, elmo has his drums, tambourine, AND microphone, the puzzles all have their pieces in the right place, etc...

even though im dead tired i secretly like it when cailin cries out in the night and needs a little extra snuggle.  she's just so nice and cuddly and i know she won't let me hold her forever.

i don't mind doing laundry.

i like running errands with cailin even when she's being a not so nice 2 year old.

i hate monitoring bath time.  why?  i'm not sure, but its just annoying to me.

i'm not the best at keeping my house super clean all the time.  things may be picked up, but don't look closely at my floors.

i almost never make my bed.  what's the point, you're just going to get back in at night.

my 2 favorite stores are target and costco and i go there weekly.

and i really really miss cailin on the days i work.

this crazy girl

i love this silly little girl.  she's really fun and 
i love that she will be so silly with me.
she's really exploding with her vocabulary
and tries to say almost all of what brady and i
say.  sometimes i don't know what the heck she's
saying, but she doesn't get irritated.  she just tries
to find another way to tell me what she wants
or is thinking.  she's been such a joy to raise and 
it makes me very scared to have another.  there's no
way one person can luck out and have 2 super good babys.





 check out her cool pink tips of her pony.
they match her cute nails.


 i can just see her 14 years from now in this
same position on her bed or bedroom
floor talking on the phone, or flipping through
a magazine or most likely playing on a cell phone.

sometimes all you need is a box

cailin loves when mama gets packages in the mail. 
not only does a nice fun something get delivered, 
but c ends up with a new toy that keeps her
busy for quite a while.  yay for boxes!!!


 when she got in the box in this
position she told me, "KK schweep".
aka, cailin, sleep.

blankie


cailin has become very fond of this blankie.
it makes my heart happy because that there blankie
is the very same blankie that i used 28 years ago
as a toddler.  it is 30 years old and its the one she
chooses to have with her right out of the crib
and back with her when its time to go to sleep. 

here she is this morning enjoying a 
banana, an ipad app, and blankie.

and here she is this evening all bathed, enjoying
a booo pop, toy story, and blankie.

thank you grammy for making it for me all those years ago.
its getting put to good use 1 generation later.

oh nooo my red car is still trapped.  help.
