Thursday is my favorite day!!!!!

I love Thursday nights! It's my time to check out of reality and pretend I'm truly a part of Seattle Grace, a Survivor contestant, and a CSI team member. Chris laughs because he's remembers when I worked retail I told him that my least favorite part of the job was "missing my night-time TV." I will admit that tonight all parenting duties lie on Chris--well, at least from 9-10pm. Right now he's playing XBOX...his Thursday night escape. We've learned that in our marriage it's best that we each have our "escape" and sometimes I like that fact that he's busy with the boys and not bugging me. Well, I just retire to bed for a few hours before the child wakes up bright and early to tell me all about her dreams. Mornings are now my favorite time of EVERY day because she's so happy and excited for another day. I could learn a lot for her and all her ONE YEAR old wisdom. Goodnite!

It's HOT outside

So it's a little "white trash" but it works and she's HAPPY! I laughed that she found the soda bottles to be more entertaining than the pool itself. Typical! I had the pool all set up and then I realized that since we're in an apartment and don't have a hose, filling it up was going to be a problem. Then I remembered the food storage water. I knew I kept it for a reason. It was time to rotate the bottles too, so I was able to kill to birds with one stone. This doesn't happen to often with Savanna around so I was stoked. Maybe next time she'll actually get in the pool. I know I will if it gets hot enough...that would make quite the photo opportunity.

A day at the park...

It was so nice today that Mom couldn't resist and we just HAD to go outside and play. I took Savanna out and we looked for a "different" park, but to no avail. I don't know why, but I found myself surprised at how quickly she took to the sand--digging, throwing, & eating too! Soon she dropped the toys and took to the playground. This little tube is her favorite. We play peek-a-boo with each other at the different ends. I wanted to get a picture of her coming down the slide, but I figured it was better to catch her at the bottom. One day we'll get a snapshot of the huge smile she has the whole time! It's hilarious! We topped this trip off with a picnic and she must have been starving because I've NEVER seen her eat so much. Right now it's nap time...ta ta!

Yeah to ME!

So I found to perpitrator of the damage...some punk chick and her boy toy. Well, I guess her mom wasn't too happy that we're making her repair our car, but I think it might have more to do with the fact that the duahgter didn't tell us initally. I must say that I am glad that's over and we can now get our car fixed, but I am quite proud of my investigative abilities. (I knew watching all those crime shows wasn't a waste of my time.) Sorry there are no pictures this time, but there really hasn't been a reason to take one. The Savmister has begun the "terrible two's" a bit early. She is actually quite entertaining to watch. I think you can post short videos, so if I can catch her in the act we can all get a good chuckle. I have noticed that I seem to have a positive attitude about all of her outbursts, well, they haven't actually happened in public or when I am in a hurry, so I am sure that will change. I must mention that Chris is in the FINAL weeks of school and I can't wait to enjoy the summer together. The are so many things that I want to do and see around here. I am counting down the days...I know Chris is too, but Savanna will just notice that her daddy isn't at the computer all the time. hee, hee. This whole week is suppose to be really nice here, so I am hoping to get myself and the child to the beach for some "shell hunting".

Just our Luck...

I guess it was bound to happen sometime, but we've been so proud of our "un-bostonized" car. I noticed it this morning and totaly thought I was at the wrong car. I am so peeved that they didn't leave a note that I have personally been inspecting every car in our parking lot...when I find the perpetrator I've going to have a word! Okay, so really I have nothing else to do and I feel like leaving a "nasty" note on someone's car...teach Savanna how to hold her own. Just kidding, she doesn't need any training there. I'll update on my search for the vehicle of destruction. I have a hunch of the race and age of the driver, but I'm not saying anything.

Dinner Time

I thought it was tough with the baby food, well, she straightened me out. I try to feed her almost everything, because she gets cranky when hungry--like mother, like daughter. The "picky princess" won't eat most things unless it's from Daddy's plate, it's always good then. Needless to say...she "enjoyed" playing with her lasagna, but ate the peas and goldfish. Go figure! She's such a stinker!!!

This little Piggie...

I just thought that you'd all want to enjoy her "new" hairdo as much as we do. It was a rainy day so we played dress-up and in the pillows ALL day. It was a long day stuck inside, but mom survived. She's slowing coming into that stage where all she wants is a friend to play with...I'm sure she gets bored like me. I will admit she's fun to play with...she like's peek-a-boo and "tickle monster" the BEST!
