Good-bye pool!

Mom & Dad decided to close up the pool for the year.  Since it’s about 4 years old and had a slow leak, Daddy had some fun and took a garden hoe & a baseball bat to it.  Here is the aftermath!

Looks like we may get a new one next summer!

Children’s Museum Playdate

Mommy and I spent the morning at the Flint Children's Museum with friends.  It was my first time there, and I had so much fun at all the exhibits.  My favorites were the dress-up area and the grocery store!

Here I am with Christopher and Olivia putting on a show!  We had a lot of fun putting on the costumes!008

I loved the grocery store!  Here I am putting a watermelon in my shopping cart.  Notice how I’m still wearing the princess dress?!  Mommy had a hard time getting me out of it, but reminded me that I had to share it with the other little girls at the museum!015

I got out of Mom’s sight for a split second, and here is where she found me – in the toddler area working on a puzzle!026

We all had a lot of fun on the fire truck!  We even got to put on mini fire jackets & helmets.  Here I am driving the engine to put out the fire!035

Mom really liked this music room.  Every time we stepped on a yellow dot, we would play a musical note.  All of us running around in there sure created a masterpiece! (Or just a lot of noise!)  Here I am with my friends Liam, Ashlyn, and Christopher.039

After lunch, I was back exploring again.  I found a camping room with a tent, boat, and this campfire.042

The museum was a lot of fun & we can’t wait to go back & take Daddy!

Being too quiet!!!

Mom pretty much knows by now that when I’m quiet, I’m probably up to no good!  She was studying for class today when she decided she better find out what I was up to.  Here’s what she found!107 A girl’s gotta take care of her skin, right?!

Back to the Bricks, 2009

This was Back to the Bricks week in Flint.  A lot of cars came into town to drive up & down the road this year!  Sounds pretty boring to me, but I enjoyed watching the hot rods and getting treats, too!  

Here are just a few of the thousands of cars that we saw over the event:2009-08-19

Cleaning up!

While I admit that I make my fair share of messes around the house, I do take time to help Mom clean!  Here I am helping sweep the kitchen before she mopped.
