203 Do You Like My Outfit?

Yes. 

Yes I do.

202 Big Spender

Bean got some birthday money from her great-grandma today.

She could not wait until her birthday to spend it so brought it with her today as we ran some errands.

She really loves Phineas and Ferb and has wanted a fedora for a while.

Imagine her delight when she spotted this Hello Kitty one on clearance at Target!

And then she wanted a Batman LEGO set (go figure!) as well.

And in planning ahead for Halloween (as all children do) she has decided that with her fedora she wants to be Perry the Platypus for Halloween. She wants to wear the fedora, and have me make her a tail and a beak. She found this shirt at Target too, which she thought was the exact shade of Perry, so we just had to buy it.

Knowing her, she may totally change her mind by then though!

201 Fun with Daddy

The girls don't get to see much of daddy on the weekdays. He is not usually home until 5, and sometimes much later. Then he needs time to unwind, then it's dinner and bedtime routine and bed! Tonight he was home a little earlier, and he grabbed pizza on the way home. We ate it quickly, and then took the girls to the pool.

They had so much fun swimming with daddy!

200 And Then There Were Two

Boxes, that is.

Two boxes left.

These two are full of things that have not been unpacked since we first packed them when we moved out of our first house 7(!really?!) years ago.

We have been lugging them around all this time.

They are filled with a random assortment of things that I don't know what to do with.

My wedding veil is in there...

These are the last two boxes I have to unpack and sort through and I just can't bring myself to do it because I just don't know what to do with the stuff inside!

(BTdubs, if you're looking at the box next to these two and saying, "uh, there's one more there..." you are right. And there are actually several others, but they are full of school things and old CD cases that I don't know what to do with, but have been sorted and accounted for. These two are ones that need to be emptied so I can either store for memory's sake, donate, or just pitch!)

199 Ugh

Look what I have done to the living room!

In order to really organize, you have to make a mess first, and I have done a great job of that. 

I have determined that I do not need to buy any fabric or ribbon for a very long time. 

(The pile in the back is all fabric, and the ribbon spools in the front... well that is a tiny fraction of the total ribbon I have.)

Yikes!!

198 Woah!

Driving to the commissary today I spotted this:

I have never seen a circumhorizontal arc (I had to look that up) before. It was so beautiful!

I only wish I'd had my camera instead of the phone camera!

197 Catch

It is still warm today, but the LT and the DQ still went out for a quick game of catch. 

Life is good!
