Day 71

The Electric Dream Machine

(Well, that some of us.)

We have so much fun!

Day 70

First time to have a friend call.

I got a phone call from an unfamiliar number and when I answered it all I heard on the other line was "hi", "hi" I said back and the little voice said "hi" again. That's when I knew it must be one of Bridget's little friends. Bridget was so excited that her little friends Katie had called her she just walked around talking about birthdays and playdates. It was so cute, but weird at the same time. I'm just glad it wasn't a little boy. I don't hink I'll be able to handle that at least not for another 10 years.

Day 69

Garden Tea Party!

The girls had so much fun! They had cheese crackers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut out in the shape of flowers. For little party favors we found cute little felt watering cans at the dollar spot at Target and filled them with gummy worms. After lunch they painted little flower pots and planted little pink flowers. Once they had freshened up with a little bit of my makeup (supervised) they sat down with the garden fairies and had hot chocolate with sprinkles (it was snowing) and strawberry cupcakes. They had a blast! Afterwards I was tired.
This is them all gussied up and ready for the tea party.

Day 68

Taking a test in my jammies

Have I mentioned that I HATE stats? Well, I do. Especially when I have to sit down for a grueling three hours first thing in the morning for a test. Did you notice the coffee? I had probably four cups during this process. It must have helped because I ended up making an 85, not including the extra points I usually get for little rounding issues. Yay me!

Day 67

Brownies with Sprinkles

Bridget has had quit a social calendar recently. The girls didn't have school on Friday so we invited her friend Katie over for a play date.

Day 66

The Sun.

Bridget was on a play date today and so I had an entire day to myself. It was weird. I had spent the morning running around a lake and as I was running I kept glancing at the people lounging in the park. So after i went home and cleaned up I decided to go back with a blanket just so that I could soak up the sun. Turns out I wasn't the only one.

Day 65

Picnic in the Park!

Swinging...

Playing soccer...

Flying kites...

What more could you ask for on a beautiful day? Bridget and I decided to invite all of her class mates to join us at the park for a little picnic before school. They all had such a blast. After they all walked to school together. It was like a little kindergarten parade. So cute!

Day 64

Earth Day Art

Last week I took Bridget to the library where they were inviting kids to get together and make art out of recyclable objects. We made a colorful fence out of old plastic bags. Bridget was so excited when they finally displayed in out in front of the library, we had to stop and take a picture of her in front of it.

Day 63

Spring!

Yesterday morning everything was white and coated with snow. We couldn't even see the foothill across the street. By the end of that day the snow had melted and today we were wearing tank tops and shorts while we were playing at the park. Gotta love Colorado.

Day 62

Bridget has grown so much in the past year. Her baby features have completely turned into girl features and she's got the attitude to go along with it. But at night when I sneek in her room to give her a kiss I can see that baby again in her sweet little face. I needed to capture it because it's only been five years but its flown by and I dread the day when she's all grown up.

Day 61

"I could eat that in a gypsie."

Bridget's take on eating something in a jiffy.

Day 60

And the kickball season kicks off!

Just getting a little R&R after our action packed game of kickball.

Day 59

You can't see me, I'm a fire hydrant.

Brent and Bridget play a little game called "Secret Girl" where Bridget is a super hero called... Secret Girl. She runs around the house trying to hide from me. Brent will "distract" me while Bridget sneaks behind me from room to room. In this case Brent dressed Bridget up in a Halloween costume meant for a dog and sent her out to sneek around. He told her that I wouldn't be able to see her because she looks just like a fire hydrant. This is her not looking at me because she was afriad that if she looked at me I would be able to tell that she wasn't an actual fire hydrant.

Day 58

I Wear My Sunglasses At Night...

Remember that song? This picture was taken around 9:00 p.m.

Bridget had her friend sleep over for the first time ever. I took them to Chuck E Cheese and they ran around like wild children. Unfortunately, it didn't tucker them out. We got home around 9:30 and they played on Barbie.com, watched a movie on the Disney channel and giggled a lot. I finally went to bed at midnight. I had turned the lights down and turned the volume on the TV real low hoping it would put them to sleep. I woke up at 1:30 a.m. and went in the living room to turn off the TV and Bridget was still awake! The poor kid, she partied too hard. She was so grumpy the next morning.

Day 57

Happy Birthday Brent!

Goodbye Mustache!

This was ten days ago so the theme of my little blog isn't really working right now. With traveling and school work I've gotten a little thrown off. But never fear I will not give up. This is for you Bryce who sends me funny little text messages reminding me of the task at hand :)

Okay, now to explain my husbands mustache. Last month was March mustache madness for the fire department and for the whole month of March Brent had that hideous caterpillar growing on his upper lip. So, on April first he finally got ot shave it off. The funny thing was that I had gotten so used to it that I had to become accustomed to seeing his face again. It was hilarious when we went to visit our family in St. Louis, because when we were introduced to anyone they had to clarify why Brent had the mustache during the introduction. They just had to make sure that everyone knew that Brent didn't always look creepy, that it was just a joke.

Day 56

Hide and Seek.

On the night after dinner we all decided to play hide and seek in our apartment. Brent and I did it out of duty but ended up having a blast with Bridget and we found new hiding places in our two bedroom place. (Not easy) One time while Bridget was seeking she had gone past where Brent was hiding and after she went on to look for him somewhere else he snuck into the kitchen and as she walked past he opened up the refrigerator door and jumped out like he was hiding in there. Bridget just gasped and said "Oh my gosh weren't you just freezin?!?!" During the next round it was Brent's turn to count and when we turned around Bridget had decided to give it a shot. We laughed so hard to see her like this. She still couldn't figure out how her dad fit in there.
