I know this might seem trivial and there are tons of people out there with problems greater than mine, but I have an interview tomorrow for a 3rd grade position at a local school. Please pray that this is the door God intends to open for me.
This past weekend, we spent A LOT of time in here.
NO...not what you're thinking. We scraped wallpaper and painted all weekend. I will be so happy when all the wallpaper is out of this house! One more room to go!
LOOK...we found one!
"WOW, Mommy fly, fly"
Now it's time to read.
Sweet girl LOVES being outside. (or "side, side" as she calls it)
Em has been flirting with the idea of using the "big girl potty." She would sit on it and call it potty. She would pretend to wipe and flush. Well, Saturday after returning from the lake, we let Em run around in her birthday suit for a couple of minutes after taking her bathing suit off. I noticed she kept pulling and touching her girly parts. I asked "Do you need to go pee pee in the potty?" She ran to her little potty and she went! That was it. So today, we went off to buy some of these.....
Showing off her cool new princess pull -ups. She was so proud.
We spent the holiday weekend with family and friends and we had a BLAST! I have a dear friend whose husband just joined the Amry Reserves. He had to go away for basic training and just got back home last week. She held a WELCOME BACK party at the lake Saturday. Em loved playing with all the kids...I think there were 9 in all, chasing the dog, and jumping in the lake. She did not, however, enjoy the jet ski and Mommy had to swim out to the rescue.
Em was very excited about the fireworks and kept pointing at the sky. She loved that her friend, Baker, got to go with us. They had a blast dancing to the songs and waving their flags.
And then, it happened. The first firework lit up the hot night sky. Emma DID NOT like it. There was no crying just a death grip around Daddy's neck and eyes averted from the evil (and loud) sparklers in the sky. She came to me about half-way through the show and finally snuck a peek at the "boom-booms" near the end of the show. Maybe next year we should invest in some noise cancelling headphones.
"Em's death grip"
Emma and Mommy enjoying some time on the beach before dinner. Our family heads to the beach every year. This year, Daddy wasn't able to come with us, but we had fun with Granna and Papa, Uncle Reese and Aunt Mere, and all our cousins and friends.
Emma loved playing in the kid pool. SPLASH!
Emma and her friend, Calli giving kisses. They had so much fun playing together.
Emma enjoyed swinging and watching the boats on the canal every night before dinner.
Eating goldfish and chilling in her beach chair.
