Blue

I choose the new color because it is now Adalyn's favorite color. She loves all things blue and tells me a million times a day it is her favorite.

But I Want to Drive

Yesterday was a super busy day for us. Our last stop was the pool. I probably stayed a little longer than I should have because I had to literally drag Adalyn to the car screaming while I was pushing Burke, carrying all our pool gear, and his float. I am sure it was quite a sight. I put both of them in the car so I could load all the gear without worrying they might get run over. Adalyn begins crying hysterically. Thinking she was just tired I finished the chore of loading all our junk. It is amazing what one has to bring to the pool for your children to swim. Anyways when I get in the car Adalyn is crying because I won't let her drive. She is truly broken hearted, snot pouring out her nose, because she feels that she should drive. She even went as far to tell me she didn't need a license. After explaining all the reasons why, I finally came to my senses and realized I was arguing with a two year old why she couldn't drive.

The Little Things in Life

There are a million reasons why I love my husband but there is one tha makes me super happy every morning. He always put a coke in the fridge for me when I wake up. No matter how many hours he worked the day before, it is always there waiting for me to start my day. This is a neccestity and for some reason I can never remember to do it. I never ask, but it is there every morning. Thank you Jeff. You are the best!!!!

Cool!

Beignets heaven!

The Big Easy

So Friday around four Jeff and I decide to head to New Orleans with the kids. They don't call us crazy for nothing! I had bags packed, car loaded, and a quick shower within 45 minutes. I expect an award just for that any minute! Not to mention reserving a hotel in the quarter in that time, too. I am good! (maybe a little self motivation was behind that)
We arrived that evening to check in and in search of food. Well, after roaming around and unable to agree on taking the kids in a fine establishment we stopped off in a sandwich shop. No complaints. The children were angels despite the fact that it was eight thirty at night and way after bedtime not to mention dinner. Life is good.
The next day we woke up to eat some delicious beignets. One of the highlights for Adalyn. She was so excited about eating "french doughnuts" So Fancy. We could have spent the whole weekend eating doughnuts. No thanks.
Next we headed to a fun filled afternoon at the children's museum and looking at all the art galleries. Every time we walked in one, Adalyn had the same response. "Wow".
Sunday we took the kids to Arnuad's. When we first walked in Jeff and I were both a little stressed about how they would behave. Perfect is all I have to say. Adalyn had a delicious waffle made especially for her that was to die for. I had a four course brunch that would make you all weep. Burke had prunes. Sorry Baby. We'll take you when you get older. Fun family weekend with only one mishap. We will definitely do again soon.

Shoes

Like mother like daughter. These are Adalyn's new fashion accessory. She loves to wear them with anything like stained old T-shirts, worn out jeans, and nightgowns. The problem is that they are about two sizes too small. That does not seem to matter. Blood blisters and all she wears them as often as possible. I would buy her a new pair but there is no Disney store in Hattiesburg. So she is now actively awaiting her Jasmine outfit from Aunt Paige. She talks about it everyday.
