Adventures with Lyla Bean

Gary was busy working on the house all weekend so Lyla and I were on our own for entertainment.

I asked her Saturday what she wanted to do and she said she wanted to go shopping.  So after her nap we headed to the mall.  I kept asking her what she wanted to buy and she kept telling me sunglasses.  She already has a few pairs, but whatever if that makes her happy...  Well every time I found a pair she told me no.

So after a few stores we ended up at Payless to shop for shoes!  She really is my daughter!  She tried on every single pair of shoes in her size (as well as some too small and too big) including the Suri Cruise inspired heels!

We left there and had some fries and lemonade.  Then she wanted to play so we spent a lot of time in the play area. 

She is so silly, everything I offered to buy her she told me no.  I felt bad having her out shopping for so long and not buying anything so we ended up bringing home a coloring book and stickers. 

Who knew stickers could be so much fun?!?!?!

We also spent a lot of time singing songs this weekend.  She asked me to tape her this morning, but then she got all shy, so this is the best I could get:

5 Things Friday - 5 Favorite Ice Creams

Ice Cream - My 5 Favorite Kinds.... But really, has there ever been an ice cream I didn't like??

1.  Mint Chocolate Chip (Specifically Edy's Mint Brownie)

Gary's all time favorite is Mint Chocolate Chip and he has totally got me turned on to it!  And when we found Edy's Mint Brownie... well there was no looking back!  We even got poor Ashley addicted to it!

2.  Moose tracks

Vanilla Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cups and Famous Moose Tracks Fudge.... mmmmmm

3.  Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard with Chocolate Ice Cream (Instead of standard vanilla)

You have to ask to substitute the chocolate for vanilla... your welcome.

4.  McDonalds Shamrock Shake

Technically not ice cream... but totally one of my favorites! 

5.  Plain Vanilla with Rainbow Sprinkles

Sometimes the basics are exactly what you want/need (depending on who you ask)!


Ok, now that we are all drooling... go get some ice cream!  :)

Heard Around the House #12

Gary and I were walking in to daycare with Lyla this morning:

Lyla:  I want to play outside.
Me:  I'm sure you will get to go outside today.
Lyla:  Its not raining.
Gary:  No, its just foggy outside.
Lyla:  (jumping up and down) Ribbit Ribbit

Fun Fun Fun

I have been really busy the last few days and have also taken some really good pictures!  So here is a photo filled update!  :)

We went to WashPa this weekend.  We got to spend time at my mom and dad's.  Em and Gerald were there Saturday and my Grandma was there yesterday.  Gary and I got to go out to dinner and a movie Saturday evening while Lyla stayed with my parents.  Then yesterday afternoon we went to a surprise 30th birthday party for my friend Erin. 

And today is our anniversary, 7 years together!  Lyla and I thought we should wear dresses for the occasion!  And now all the pictures:

5 Things Friday - 5 Funnies from this week

5 Funny Things from this past week:

1.  We had a really busy weekend last weekend and come Monday morning we were all exhausted!  But how can you not laugh at this??

2.  On Tuesday I asked Lyla if she wanted to wear shorts or a dress to daycare.  She picked out a super frilly party dress to wear.  Whatever, I wasn't going to argue with her!  Why not spice up a boring Tuesday!

3.  Wednesday I emailed Gary with some good news, his response: 

alright, throw away your crazy pills, and if your still crazy after that we have a problem ,lol

4.  Thursday night we had corn on the cob... I can't look at this picture without cracking up!

5.  And finally every night this week we got to go out on Lyla's new (to her - thanks Karla) bike!  Not so much funny as it just makes you smile!

We had a really great week and we are looking forward to a fun filled weekend!  Happy Friday Everyone!
