A moment of silence in awe of God's amazing creation.
Oh no! Where's my leg?
Throwing sand is so much fun! Watch out Mommy!
So much work to do...I've got to work double time.
"Come on waves! Come one waves!"
Worked up an appetite...time for a snack.
Whew! Climbing a mountain is hard work!
I just want to close my eyes for just a minute.
Bibby, Lillianna, and Sam play at the sand table
Sam explains where sand comes from (His Mom is a biology teacher.)
Bibby, Dawson, and Lillianna decide the sand is better outside the table.
Sweet baby Maggie sleeps in her Mama's arms.
Abby gets a kick out of the swing.
Dawson shows off his adorable outfit.
What a great day!
"That's it?"
Of course, soon it was bare bottoms and lots of squeals!
" I love this but the water is soooo cold!! heeeeeeee!"
Ooooh, up close it's even better!
"Hey look Lillianna! We can drink it. It's sooooo delicious!"
"Oh great idea Bibby...Let me just get in a real comfortable position for a nice, long, refreshing sip."
Let's do the sprinkler dance!
"Oh look it's my friend Belly Button. Do you have one?"
"Oh yeah, there's your Belly Button. It's so cute!"
"What a great day Bibby, you're my bestest friend...well except for Blankie."
"Thanks Lalelalala. I had so much fun too!"
Lillianna: "okay let me give it a try...wow, this thing is big"
Lillianna: "OMYGOSHITISTHEMOSTDELICIOUSMOSTWONDERFULTHINGEVER!"
Mary Bibb: "mmmhmm." suck. suck.
Lillianna: "I CAN"T BELIEVE THIS WHOLE GIANT THING IS MINE!! I LOVE SUCKERRRRSS!"
Mary Bibb: "you're funny." suck. suck.
So on Saturday when it was pouring down rain and we had danced, played chase, banged on the piano, watched Mickey, sang songs, colored with crayon, pens, and markers, sculpted with play-doh, and exhausted every other inside activity...
we gave Lillianna a sucker for a few moments of peace.
several tea parties inside with friends
and lots of playing outside. I also spent some time with Boone...
digging in my new sand and water table. I prefer the sand and boone prefers the water.
Then on Friday I got to have lunch with my Aunt Kelsey and cousin Baby Bentley in Nashville.
Sweet Bentley was so good all day...especially in the Disney Store. Meanwhile, I was overwhelmed by the hundreds of Mickey and Minnie stuffed animals...
so Bear Bear and I had a meltdown on the giant Car pillow.Whew! What a week.
"It's cute but not quite my style. I'm looking for something with more sparkle!"
"This is just the look I was going for!"
Lillirella felt like a Princess.
And sometimes acted like she was a Princess.
Sweet Lillirella.
