Mommy's Makeup

She painted her nails herself and was very proud of them

Sunday

Vivian has quite the imagination. She found this blue tape and ran around with it calling it her doggy. She even made me pet it as a doggy. Poor kid is deprived of animal cuddles.

This morning I was doing laundry and I heard Vivian running around. She apparently spilled her water so she ran to the bathroom and got her "princess chair" (a pink plastic chair) and carried it into the kitchen. Then she climbed up and got the paper towels to use to clean up the water. I think that is the only time she has voluntarily cleaned up a mess she made! That dang chair though. It's so light she can carry it anywhere (even up and down stairs) and it allows her to get into pretty much anything.

Scooting

Playing Outside

I'm Back!

Vivian spent four whole nights and five days in Carthage this weekend. That was the longest I have been away from her and I was going crazy!! It sounds like she had a lot of fun, but she is definitely much clingier to me than she was before she left. So lots of cuddles for me.

When we got home tonight she decided she wanted to shovel.

Then she was sad because her fake flowers that she fake planted today weren't fake growing. She sat on the rock and said "I upset" repeatedly. She's mastered the emo dramatically sitting on a rock when upset requirement of teenager-dom.

More dancing

Last few. She decided dancing on the piano would be a great idea

Then she started playing the piano along with Bruno Mars on the radio

Ballerina

Fun with Photobooth

Dancing Queen #2

You should expect to see the tutu a lot in the coming weeks. She changes it as soon as we get home and have a dance party. It's fantastic, but makes it hard to make a healthy dinner by 6!

With a break for tea

New PJs

Vivian has been on a kick when she tries to take off her PJs and says she wants to sleep naked. Fighting to keep on footies at ten minutes to lights out is very frustrating. I found these on clearance at TArget and she loves them! She were them before bedtime last night and even after she woke up today. Woo too! The downer is that apparently PJs like these are hard to find and are pricey. But I'm looking for more on clearance to avoid doing laundry every day. But I will if it comes to it.

I know these pictures are blurry, but they were a pretty accurate representation of her reaction when she saw the PJs for the first time.
