Painting Outside

Playing Outside

We have had such nice weather this week!! Every day this week Vivian and I played outside after work. Which makes it hard to make dinner but breakfast for dinner is always delicious.

Vivian loves her scooter. She doesn't actually scoot on it but she plays with it constantly.

She put herself in timeout on a stump she found

Well, This Won't End at the ER

Baby Anna

Vivian has finally discovered why I loved dolls when I was little. We splurged and bought her the baby Anna doll and she found it in my car Sunday. She was ecstatic! She says the dolls has to be called Baby Anna, not just Anna. Vivian carries her everywhere. We don't have Elsa so she decided I could be the big sister to baby Anna. 

Putting baby Anna in her castle (we got that slide for free from a neighbor, how great is that!?)

Having a picnic with baby Anna (she does have on a diaper. Vivian was really mad to discover baby Anna's clothes didn't come off.)

Saturday

Bren and Mallory came to visit this weekend! We had lots of fun playing at the zoo yesterday.

Then Vivian played in the woods

Super Vivian!

Vivian revealed her secret identity to me today. I was kind of sad when I discovered this shirt was pink and not red. I love pink, that goes without saying, but I also like sticking to the colors of a superhero/sports team/whathaveyou rather than turning it pink for girls. Oh well. She likes it and she still has a red spiderman shirt that she wears so I'll only feel half guilty.

Wall coloring

Last night Vivian was playing with some water in paint cups. I was so proud of her playing by herself letting me make dinner. Then I checked on her and found this. But, it was hard to get mad at her because 1) I heard her trying to spell mommy (mmmy) 2) it's just chalk 3) she felt bad as soon as I saw it and asked to help clean it up. So I told her to only use chalk on the chalkboard and she seemed to understand.
