Feed Da Ducks, Mommy

One of our favorite things to do...feed the ducks. We have special "duck bread" that we take to the pond and Erin squeals with excitement when she sees it. She asked me this morning to feed da ducks, mommy. So, I couldn't say no. We walked to the pond and these three little ducks swam over as soon as they spotted us. We fed them until their bellies were full and then went around to the other side where we found a mommy duck, a daddy duck and three baby ducks. They were under one of the trees at the top of the picture. They were such a cute little family! The daddy duck stayed behind the mama and the mama let the little babies come up to us to get the bread. They stayed on the shore and weren't the least bit afraid of me and Erin. Ahh good times!

Field Day

Olivia's field day was today. She had a blast running around and getting soaked. We loved getting to see her have such fun.

Don't Turn Your Back

L'Oreal #114. Need I say more?

Amazingly, she didn't get it on anything but her face. She was so pleased with herself as she came around the corner. In the picture above she has the lipstick in her right hand and her sassy in the left- true Erin style.

Best Friends

Erin and Annelise at the mall yesterday. I love this picture...Erin loves playing with her! We ate lunch with Annelise and her mom then headed to the play area at the mall. My little girl is growing up!!

Play Time

My friend Theann and her sweet daughter, Annelise, came by today. The girls played babies, pushed strollers, and played with a Candyland game. They were adorable talking to each other and following each other around the house. Erin was sad to see them leave, but we're going to get together with them again tomorrow afternoon! If the weather is nice, we might head up to the horse park and let them feed the horses {and goats and pigs and chickens and peacocks!}.

Weekly Update

Our past week was most like any other week...although there were a few notable events:

My little one got a haircut. She was so tickled to get a haircut- she laughed and repeatedly cried "I get haircut" from the moment we got in the car to go to the hair place. Everything was fine until the hairdresser put the cape on Erin. She seemed a little insistent on Erin wearing the cape, but after Erin screamed for a few minutes, I suggested we take it off. She LOOSENED it around her neck. That did NOT do the trick. In fact, it made things worse. Finally, I took it off. Erin still screamed. This was the slobbery, snotty, entire-face-wet, inconsolable sobbing that two-year-olds are known for. I even gave her a dum-dum and she refused it. Ugh. The lady did get rid of Erin's baby mullet, but now her bangs look a little funny. (Sorry no pic yet)

We went to my Nana's house for Mother's Day. I have to say, Mother's Days keep getting better and better. Nana loved playing with Erin and I loved seeing them play. That's her great-granddaughter!!

And this is one random shot of Erin getting a big treat! Erin begs me to let the kitty sit in her lap. Only problem is, Camille doesn't like to sit on Erin's lap...much. She's tolerating Erin's gentle pats and seemed to at least halfway enjoy the attention. Since Erin came along, the cat has been a little neglected. She's no longer the baby.
