Do other 2 year olds do this?

Set up a picnic?

....on both sides of the dining room. Forks have to be in the right spot, on top of the plate!

I walked into the kitchen to find this masterpiece!

and little people just sitting there watching.

.......because who doesn't line up their diapers?!

and then line up the rings on the floor.

Who me?

PG

Since the 30 day challenge I've been slacking on putting updated pictures of P on here. I'm sure you all have missed it!
She loves blowing bubbles!
The hair is getting a little out of control again. We have gone from the mullet to the 70's Farrah Fawcett feathered hair and today with the wee-bit of humidity we had....the curls exploded.

P really wanted to wear my boots, but she wasn't able to stand up in them.

Steve is so proud to have a rocker in the family!

She is really wanting to go potty. However, she mainly just wants to walk around with no pants or diaper on. Not cool. Steve is really not happy about Presley new love for being naked. I actually bought some Pull-Ups this weekend, in case she was interested in going that route. Pretty much she'd rather not have anything on from the waist down. And I was almost in tears buying Pull-Ups for my baby. Probably the only mother wanting to cry in the diaper aisle. :)

Roller coaster ride

So Wednesday night was the Country Spring Break Bash....I procrastinated and never bought a ticket even though some of my friends were going...and it sold out a week before the show. My friends were going to meet up to have a few beers before the concert so I thought I would meet them. Turns out Andrea got sick, didn't feel good and couldn't go! Bummer....but on the flip side, it totally worked out for me! So I ended up going! It was a fun, unexpected night out!

Today, St. Patty's day. We worked. :( We have always taken this day off from work and gone out. It just didn't work out this year. I was able to take my hour lunch and walk down to watch the St. Patty's day parade, which was awesome for 2 reasons! Holly was in the parade for being the Bacon Queen of Baconfest and there was a tribute float for Brendan! It was a rough day thinking about Mahoney in his Irish hat. Bitter sweet. I wanted it to be a celebration, but it just wasn't the same.

Tomorrow we have our first non-family babysitter (even though she really is like family!). Andrea agreed to watch Presley for us while we go out! However, now Presley has a cold and I'm not sure we should expose her germs. Plus Steve isn't feeling the best either. We'll see how our Friday turns out!

30DBC day 30 - your favorite song

Really? This is the last challenge? This is terrible! There is no possible way, ever, I could every choose my favorite song. Never. Wouldn't happen, couldn't happen.
Sorry.

30DBC day 29 - in the last 30 days, what have you learned

I have learned that I have a lot of wonderful people and things in my life. I am extremely lucky to be so blessed!
I learned that even my every day priorities are Presley and Steve, there are so many other people in my life that I can count on to always be there for me. No matter what.
I learned no matter how annoyed or crappy things can get....in the scope of things, it's not really that bad! Every challenge we encounter in life, only makes us stronger.

Since my 30th birthday, I've always said that 'life begins at 30, everything before that is just practice'! At that time I said that to make myself feel better (and b/c I actually gave birth the day after), but I really do think at 30 years old, everything starts to come together and make sense!

30DBC day 28 - a picture of you last year and now, how have you changed

This is P and I from last July. (my eyes are not blue, not sure why they look that way in this picture)
Me on our cruise leaving Miami.

Two changes that I'm pretty happy about....1) My haircut! I've had the same haircut for over 10 years and I love the new cut so much better than before! 2) I was able to lose 10 pounds at the end of 2010! Never thought it would be possible for me to be in my pre-maternity pants but I did it! (maybe I should mention that I've gained about 4 of those pounds back, but oh well!)

Two good things that didn't change in the last year....no cavities (I've only had one in my life) and no skin cancer! Now let's hope we can keep these two things going year after year! :)

Another Sunday

We had a pretty nice week and weekend. I was able to go to dinner with Holly, Cindy and April on Wednesday night just to catch up and chat since it has been too long! and then Friday night I went out after work with Holly and my work friends, Sarah and Nicole. We went to Saints in Beaverdale...wow, talk about a highschool reunion! That is where a lot of Hoover alumni like to hang out! (On a side note, congrats Hoover Huskies for making it to the 4a championship basketball game! We are so proud!)
Saturday we did a lot of nothing and Steve had his night out on the town while Presley and I hung out. Sunday we were able to do more of nothing (which I'm sure I'll regret by tomorrow night when I have too many things to do!). I got free Iowa Energy tickets from work so the three of us went to the game this afternoon. It was actually a lot of fun and Presley did pretty good and seemed to enjoy it too.
Back to the grind with another week of work. Should be a busy week with spring break, St Pattys' day and the NCAA tournament starting! Spring is in the air! :)
