There was a huge area to bounce, slide, and jump but she loved riding the tea cups the most. Remind me if we ever take Lizzie to Disney that we see about getting a discounted ticket if we only ride the tea cups. At least they make her happy and that smile is worth it.
I know you are wondering why you have this crazy photo of Taylor today. Maybe I take too many pictures of the kids since a few years ago Taylor started posing for my pictures in the same way every time. She does a great job of posing and has the sweetest smile, but sometimes I feel like I miss out on the fun side that is our girl when I look through pictures. So I was thrilled when she did this the other night. Love my girl!
Adjusting to a big girl bed has been so exhausting for us around here that Lizzie decided to take a cat nap after getting up from her nap. When do I get to sneak in my cat nap????
Yes that would be my kid that is the bucket head at the sprinkler park. But it was a great idea that she came up with so the water wouldn’t get in Lizzie’s eyes when she ran under the sprinklers. What a sweet big sister.
I love having little girls! Having little girls means that our house is overflowing with dolls, Barbie's, pink/purple Legos, and dress up clothes. It also means that these two little girls turned an afternoon of dressing up in ballet clothes into an impromptu wedding. All fake flower arrangements become fair game to these brides in need of a bouquet. Watch out grooms, they are on the lookout for you next!
Lizzie has been in heaven this week with all the rain. Rains means that she gets to use her umbrella and find “jumpin puddles” as she calls them. I have learned to pick my battles with Lizzie and if letting her jump in a few puddles means that she will listen to directions the rest of the time, then I’m all for it. Plus, everyone needs to jump in a few puddles and remember the pure joy of being a kid again. When the rain stopped the other day, Lizzie was quick to drag me outside and show me which “jumpin puddles'” she wanted to visit in the backyard. Get your boots on kid!
With all the rain this week, Sadie has been spending lots of time indoors with me and the girls, well more the girls. Taylor took it upon herself to spend the time working on teaching Sadie tricks while Lizzie snuck her food from her plate. Needless to say that Sadie would have been smiling in the picture if she could. She is one happy pups this week with all the love and all the extra treats. Why did this taking this picture feel like when I’m taking one of Taylor and Lizzie??? Oh that’s right, I can rarely get Lizzie to look at the camera too.
While the temperatures rise, Lizzie has found lots of ways to stay cool. Nothing beats a popsicle while cooling off in your own bucket of water. No need for a pool here!
So it’s not Tuesday and it has been weeks(almost a month) since the last time you saw a Taylor Tuesday, but I haven’t given up. Even Chris asked if Taylor Tuesday/elizabethursday had come to an end. I just needed a break, but I still continued to take pictures of the kids because they are pretty cute and entertaining. So to start you back up I have a sweet picture of our Taylor before gymnastics camp a few weeks ago.
Thank goodness she hasn’t figured out how to use the pedals yet or she would be down the street faster than her little red boots can take her. This was when she went beyond the normal ‘stop’ point and looked back to see if I was really watching. This kid keeps me on my toes!
Summertime means playing outside in the morning and then me running around like crazy in the afternoon trying to keep the kids entertained indoors. Thank goodness Taylor loves crafts. She did get creative this week and made her own accessories for her necklaces. Anyone else want a personalized necklace with a picture of themselves? I love her creativity and can’t wait to see what she does with it.
Lizzie has decided to time warp back to the 80’s and try to distract you from her rad owie near her eye with the coolest sweatband. When she stood at the bottom of the stairs and told me(while holding one finger up) that she would be right back, I never imagined her coming down looking like this. I tried to tell her that headbands go in our hair she promptly moved it back to her forehead. She also rocked this style with pride while walking through the mall. Keep on rocking your own style girl!
Looks like I’m not the only one to rock the pony tail during these hot summer days! Since there were only a few comments I’ve decided to send all you ladies some of these fun hair ties. So ‘MB Issac’ please send your address to me at wlambert at gmail.com. I have addresses for everyone else so be checking your mailbox for happy mail! I still have TONS of work to do in my craft room so check back for future giveaways as I find new homes for stuff from my overstocked craft room.
Let’s ignore that I let the kids play inside with their new umbrellas for a few days. Let’s ignore that my kitchen floor was covered in play kitchen food for their rainy day picnic. All I saw was this sweet wordless gesture from my girl. Love you too kiddo!
