bye guys! & outside and lovin it

Tonight when we put Lottie Sue down she goes "Bye guys!" - it really cracked us up. I wasn't sure she'd go down early but she was ready due to all of the play we had going on today. Matt goes to LA (he's taking Cera to dinner and I am jealous - and sad) tomorrow then we are meeting in NYC for a long weekend (with the Gilmores!!!), then he has to go straight to DC another week. He won't see Lottie Sue for almost two weeks and we crammed in a lot of family time this weekend. This month is brutal for Matt and traveling.

I'm tuckered out but wanted to post some photos for you. We were outside a lot due to the splendid weather. Lottie Sue and I were both sick last week with a crappy cold, we've been cooped up and yearned to be free. Anywho, enjoy the photos.

bye guys!

We did a lot of swinging, walking, chalk drawing, ball throwing/catching, "sleeping" and bubbles the past two days.

(hence, catches nothing)

I mentioned before how Lottie Sue loves to pretend sleep (and snore), it's a regular game at our house...

oh boy, they're awake!

We bought Lottie Sue play baby food and diapers for her babies today and she was all about it. She fed them for hours and also fed Kevin. He was a good sport about it, which is surprising.

Anywho, I'll part with the shots from yesterday. More outside fun!

lottie sue in her "french outfit", oui - she looks fantasteeeeek!

Happy Monday, ya'll!

mr. awesome & bubble mania

Um, could she be any cuter than she is - NOPE. I thought I would start the blog with that photo because I love it.

sweet lottie sue

But now let's move on to a funny item. Here is another piece of Matt's adolescent drawings, not sure what's going on in this one except that he thinks he's dope. Maybe this is his version of the Batman signal.

Last weekend we had wonderful weather (it's lasted all week - yay!) and we were outside a lot. Lottie Sue loves to blow bubbles and draw with chalk. So that's what we did. She is the most adorable little girl, she gets SO excited over things and she seems about to burst.

we are bubble experts

She also loves to color with chalk. Matt drew her favorite, Elmo, for her and she loved it.

I did a lot of watching basically, Matt was Mr. Dad all weekend and catered to Lottie Sue's every whim.

Lottie Sue's really in to riding on Matt's shoulders. If we go for a walk she is O-V-E-R the stroller fast and wants on top.

my two favorites

Tomorrow is Friday - YAY! Matt has been out of town this week and I am looking forward to family time! The Venables are having a Valentine's Day throw-down and we're going - should be a wonderful time. I'll take photos for you!
