Weather report

We are safe and sound and only got a bunch of rain. It was sort of nerve-wracking there for a little while, but most of the bad storms stayed south of us.

Flashback Friday

Hide and Seek

Here's Parker playing Hide and Seek at her Gigi's house. I'm pretty sure she though she was hiding in this picture.

More helping

Bob is taking a long time reading a story, so I'll keep posting pictures. Parker is getting really good at stretching out bedtime these days.
She really loves helping, especially when it involves a screw driver, or when she can hand you stuff. We were suprised she was dexterous (sp?) enough to spin the screwdriver around and around but she was. In the far background, you can see our new tv stand.

Flip Flops

Our goal last week, or maybe 2 weeks ago...it all runs together...was to find flip flops. Parker loves to put on my flip flops, so I knew she'd like some of her own. We had a really hard time finding some in her size, but we finally got some from Payless. They are Dora and have a silver flower on the top. She was so excited she yanked her own shoes off and put these on and wore them out of the store. The sales lady had to clip the tag off so we could pay for them.
Even more exciting, when we got home, I painted her toenails, and she is beyond thrilled having painted toenails. For the first couple days, the first thing she did when she woke up was to check and see if her nail polish was still there. I'm sure people are contacting Child Services because I've been letting her wear them out and about even though we've had chilly weather. I just add an extra sweatshirt and hope it all balances out.

--------------------

Filling up the birdfeeder.....very exciting. We spilled some and later she said "oh no! Look at this mess! " Then we discussed at length why there was birdfood on the ground and what might happen to it. She thinks maybe a cardinal will come and eat it.

Like the outfit? 2 shirts, leggings, a swim skirt and flip flops, of course.

Bluebonnet Outtakes

Here are the Bluebonnet outtakes. It's a miracle I got one decent one....she was being purposely uncooperative.

Hell Bent For Bluebonnets

If I did NOTHING ELSE this weekend, I was going to get a picture of Parker in the bluebonnets. Last year, because of the drought, there were none, but this year they are everywhere. And every proper mom in Texas is dragging their kiddo out in their Sunday best and plopping them in a field of flowers to get the proper bluebonnet picture. Here is our best attempt. Bob's mom, Parker's Gigi, was an accomplice, responsible for scouting the perfect location. She found a perfect field, and we didn't even have to tresspass much to get there! Bob's dad, Parker's Papa, drove the getaway car, and Bob help with motivation and bribery of the temperamental model. There are many outtakes I'll be posting later.
The weather had us really worried, since on saturday, it SNOWED ALL DAY. Not just flurries, but real, thick flakes. Here is a picture from the WFAA website taken in Granbury (where we spent easter). Hey, why use my memory stick for snow pictures, when I can just download someone elses? I was saving all my megapixel space for bluebonnet pics.
