Relaxing kind of Wednesday and Thankfulness

We didn’t do much of anything today.  Mia went to school, I got a haircut, or trim I should say, and Dave cut the grass for one last time of the year.  After Mia got out of school, we all three went to eat lunch together and then Daddy had to go to work.

Mia and I then lounged around and made a trip to Sally’s Beauty Supply because my flat iron all of a sudden went caput.  I hate that I had to buy another flat iron, but glad it gave me an excuse to go the the beauty store :)

We came home, did our bath time beauty ritual for the girlie, painted her toes and now were watching some Mickey cuddled up on the couch together before bedtime!

My tech savvy kiddo…

Blowing her toes dry :)

Am I the only one who looooves lazy days?  I honestly look forward to them!

Oh, I think I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and do the 25 days of Thankfulness.  I am a day behind so I will do 2 today!

*I am thankful for a hard working, loving husband.  He is my better half and I am so thankful God put us together. He sacrifices his body and schedule to go to work so that Mia and I have what we need and want.  I couldn’t ask for a better father to my child.  He loves her unconditionally and gets down on her level to play with her.  He would be the first one to cheer her on on the sidelines if she was in band, ballet or soccer.  I love him with all of my heart and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him!

*I am thankful for a healthy daughter.  We almost had to give her back to God on her actual BIRTH day, put He graciously blessed and healed her and let us keep her.  I am thankful to have a daughter so sassy and full of life.  She is spunky, outgoing and flat out hilarious!  I love her with all of my heart and am proud she calls me mommy!

Sushi, Froyo, game night and Best girlfriends day!

This past Friday night Mia and I went to eat sushi with Meme, Poppy and B!  We missed Daddy, but he was out providing for the family!  Love him.  After sushi we met up with Kyle (Ky-wool), Tina (noona), Brody (Bwody) and Charlie (Cha-lee) for some frozen yogurt!  YUM!

 

I worked all weekend long, so we’ve been having fun this week.

Last night Mia and I headed to Meme and Poppy’s house for a little trick-or-treating.  Yes, I gave in, BUT we only went for about 30 minutes.  My little fruit was so sweet, she would give you a cavity!  Well, except for the part where someone put candy in her bag and instead of saying thank you, she said “more!”  Mommy was speechless.  I am all about some manners, so this was a little disappointing!  Then we came home and played some Aggravation and Rummy.  It was such a fun night!

Today Mia and I decided since Meme was finally off a day from work that we would have a much needed girls day!  We love spending time with our Meme :)

We went to pick Meme up and then headed out to lunch at Qdoba!  Poppy and B don’t really like it, so it was a perfect place for us to get to eat!

After lunch we had to run to Kohls to get some new sunglasses since mine have somehow disappeared.  Then it was time to head to the zoo.  Meme doesn’t get to go with us very often, so we were excited to take her with us and show her the ropes ;)  It was absolutely perfect weather for the zoo.  We had a blast…

 

We spent a lot of time at the polar bear exhibit.  Those of you aren’t familiar with the Louisville Zoo, our polar bear exhibit has been under construction for basically a couple of years and when it finally opened, the poor lone bear that was in there did absolutely NOTHING,  It was so boring and felt like a waste.  They announced earlier in the year that they would be bringing a new cub into the exhibit named “Qannak” (don’t hold me to that spelling!)  This cub had been in training for quite some time, so when we saw this active cub in the exhibit today, we were beyond excited!!

Qannak kept coming down by the window where Mia was.  There were zoo workers/photographers taking pictures of Qannak and Mia because it was almost like she was coming down to see Mia!  Maybe she just looked like a snack, but it was still cute! HA!

After the zoo, we headed to the mall and the Christian bookstore for a little retail therapy!  Mia got a new pair of tennies, I bought Daddy a hoodie and a book  and mommy got a book and some smell goods from Bath and Body Works!

I bought Dave “The Resolution for Men” book and me the “Shepherding a Childs Heart” book.  I can not wait to dive in to my new book!  I’ll let ya know how it is.  I have become an avid book reader lately.  Weird.

You guys??  These shoes are a size 8!!!  They fit pretty perfectly, so I should’ve bought a 9 for her to have plenty of room to grow in, but I just couldn’t bring myself to buy that big of a shoe!  She has a Godzilla size foot!  HAHA!

We wrapped up our night by spending some time with Poppy and B and surfing pinterest with Meme :)

*Oh, and I had to YouTube the Justin Beiber “Baby” song for my child.  She has Beiber fever and she’s only 2!  Uncle B about had a melt down!  HAHA!
