Weekend Fun

Lots of pictures yesterday and today. Things (life) has been so busy we had been slackers about taking pictures of Ally. It does not help that she is not as cooperative as she used to be - now it takes a lot of effort to get her to look at the camera. Here are my favorites from yesterday and today.

I took Ally to a toddler park in our neighborhood. It was a beautiful sunny day - and she HATES wearing hats. She cried and fussed until a very nice boy put on his "fireman hat" to show her hats were fun. He also gave her a carrot to make her feel better. You can tell both tricks worked.

We went to I.KEA yesterday and bought Ally this small table and chairs. She loves it. She still needs help to get into the chair, but soon she'll be able to climb up all by herself.
Oh the joys of toddler-hood. Just in case you thought Ally was an adorable angel all of the time, I took some pictures (and a video) today of one of her hysterical tantrums. Its unbelievable to me how quickly she goes from inconsolable to happy. Just below is the height of the drama - note the huge crocodile tears.Then just a few minutes later she is stretched out on our bed with this happy look!We had brunch on Saturday at Paul and Charlo's house. It was nice to see their daughter Ali who just graduated from college. Congrats again to all of them. It was such a gorgeous day we ate outside on the deck and had fun in the yard. Ally especially liked climbing / walking on the lounge chairs.





I hope everyone is having a fun, relaxing and safe M.emorial Day weekend. The past 2 days here have been great, and we're thrilled to have more fun together tomorrow.

LOVE Ikea...miss having one just down the road from us.

Ally is a doll as always. Sabrina has also become the master drama queen...sigh, I fear this won't pass quickly.

Enjoy the weekend!

Isn't amazing how they go from zero to angry in 2 seconds! And it's like they know that they have us wrapped around their little fingers.....oh the joys of parenting.

Ally is such a little cutie and I am so jealous of that table. I think that will be our next purchase for Mia.
