Vivian bites

Vivian has been watching the big boys play baseball. Now when we play catch se puts on a winter glove to catch the ball... Since she doesn't have a real ball glove. She's a clever girl!

Dancing with Dolly

Great Weekend

This was one of those weekends when we were having so much fun playing we didn't take any pictures. I really don't know what all we did, but we had lots of fun doing it!

Today we finally explored the far side of the creek by our house. It started we were just looking for turtles and frogs. Then Vivian decided we needed to walk in the creek. So she and I walked (not far but it seemed forever to a scaredy-cat like me!) But she loved it and wanted to go even further than we did so I suspect we will be taking these walks quite a bit in the future. 

She packed her bags

She said she's going to the beach to camp on the moon, then go to the grocery store and the bank.

She packed fairies, a dress, and some undies. I think she's ready.

The little chef

Batman!

This girl is so cool

Beach Part 4

I smushed the rest of the photos into one last post so we can get back to real life posting. Vivian loved the pool!! She's a great jumper and kicker. Staying in her swimsuit is not her forte, however.

Vivian Bites

Today I was wearing a gauzy maxi skirt. As soon as Vivian got home she changed into her Cinderella dress and we had a princess dance party. If you are wondering how that is different from a regular dance party, we spin in circles for awhile then lift up our skirts and run around and hide from the prince. Then dance some more. You know, how princesses lift their skirts to the side? Except Vivian lifts hers above her belly button.

Yesterday Vivian kept crying so I asked what was wrong. She responded a witch put a spell on her which made her cry. I then asked how to get rid of the spell and she said we had so smash the witch with a hammer. That escalated quickly.

I think this is my favorite set of photos!!

Beach Part 2

2014 Beach Part 1

I have a ton of pictures from the beach. Problem is, some are duplicates I received from other people but I don't know which is which. So, I'm going to post what I have and hopefully people don't mind duplicates!

Imagination

Vivian's imagination has exploded! It's so fun these days to listen to her make up stories. Her memory is also much better which leads to some funny things coming out of her mouth. Yesterday we went to the zoo and saw a Rhino. She kept asking his name so Victor and I would make up random names we thought were funny. Finally she said "Monte!" and I realized she was remembering a Bubble Guppies episode she watched quite awhile ago with a Rhino named Monte.

Saturday she spent the morning playing doctor with Anna.

New-aged medicine?

And teaching her how to use the potty

I tried to get a superhero doctor picture for Keegan, but this is all Vivian would give me. She's a stinker.

Long week!

This has been a very long week! Tuesday Vivian was diagnosed with strep. She's on antibiotics but still has a ugly sounding cough that makes it hard for her to get any sleep, which in turn makes it hard for me to get any sleep. She's really been a trooper though. And my mom wins the mimi of the year award for staying with us found days last week and four days this week to help with Vivian since daycare isn't open again until next week. Friday some amazingly wonderful and appreciated friends watched Vivian for us. She had a great time playing with their two girls! She's still talking about it. 

Here's Vivian playing with Mimi. I love this face. 

Some photos from Friday. Playing fairies. 

Sand table. 

All dressed up! 

This girl loves to play doctor.
