An almost perfect day.

And speaking of "an almost perfect day", I am reminded of our question of the week. I have been a slacker in the area of doing my cards. And while I am at it, I will admit to the same on canvases, jewelry, etc. I seem to be in the midst of many, many decisions and all free time is taken to look at granite, stone, wood samples, wall colors, etc!

But I will get this week's question out tomorrow am, so be on the lookout!

Back to our perfect day...
No perfect day would be complete without my first saying, we slept late! I'm just sayin'!

Actually, before the girls got up, I had already been to the store, and dad had already made mini little croissants with cheese sausage inside for "pigs in a blanket". Didn't I say it was an almost perfect day? I LOVE those!

When the girls got up, we were outside unloading the car, and they just meandered right on out to meet us. He convinced them to try the four-wheeler with him. Gabbi got right on. Miss Sassy Pants needed some encouraging.
Don't worry, we are talking SNAIL's pace around the yard.

Ellie had enough after the first lap, but Gabbi Girl could "ride ride" all day long.
Since Big Shot was a little scared, but didnt' want to admit it, she just sat in the driveway and barked out orders, like, "Gabbi, you hold on." ( and many other orders!) with hand on hip and finger pointed. Lord, give me strength!
And she KNEW she really wanted to be on there with them!
It wasn't long until Miss GG was needing a nap-ola! Would you look at that hair? It grows STRAIGHT down? And did I mention we had our first haircut this morning? Todd did it. GUM!! He would not patiently await mayonnaise or peanut butter or whatever home remedies I needed to call experienced moms to ask about (or at very least Google!). He just cut! EGADS!
Thankfully, Sarah came over to preoccupy Ellie. E could not have been more thrilled that they were wearing the same shirt! Shake 4 Jake shirts from last year. By the way, we have a 2010 date... June 26th. Start your planning! And if you or your company would like to be a sponsor, be sure to contact me. It ALL goes to families of kids with cancer. OK, back to my day. BIRD?!
Remember when all of Ellie's babies were called Sue Groves? ANd then at CHristmas, she got a little variety and named her Bitty Twins "Mary Christmas" and "Clara". Well, she seems to be going through an imagination stage!

I introduce to you, " CC". ? I have NO idea!
Did I mention Ellie almost resists my putting her clothes together for her anymore. At TWO YEARS OLD?! She fully undresses herself at the end of the day and gets her pjs on. Same is true in the mornings. She is quite the independent kid. However, she has not mastered the art of matching yet!
E and I went out to my "cobbage" for a while, and she scored big in the accessory department!
SHe can comfortably wear numerous necklaces, bracelets, and any other bling that'll hang off of her all day long.
She was so pleased with her new finds.
Oh, wait. Of course! Here they are.... pose 1.
and pose 2. Whew. Thought we were going to point a camera without seeing it.
Wellll, hello there, GG. You have a nice nap?

I should just call her "Dot"!
and then, I had to show you my most recent favorite hairstyle. I am inspired by the Olympians, particularly snowboarders and downhill skiers. They are so cool! I don't want to work out and train and all that crap. I just want to LOOK like them.
My little husband did his part for SHO!
Our yard is pretty dang big, and he blew leaves for hours!
We are trying to get our yard move in ready for the next occupants. :(
And there you have it... a nice, semi-cleaned up garden.

FUN, fun day!
