Earth Day Tree

Last year we planted this tree in front of our house on Earth Day and I took a picture of it. My plan is to take a picture every Earth Day to see how the tree is growing. Well...our poor tree looks like its suffered through a rough winter!! Not much difference between last year and this year.

Here is Earth Day 2008..

and Earth Day 2009..hmmm, its even smaller than last year and more brown!!

The backyard

We have been spending more and more time outside now that its consistently warm! Here are some pics of me and my new water table and slide...

My Big Girl Room

We have been putting together Kaitlyn's "big girl room" and she loooooves it!! It is slowly but surely coming together. The furniture came last week along with the bedding.

By the way, I do have more than 1 pair of pj's :) hahaha!! I'm wearing them in every pic lately!

Mommy scored this princess vanity table at the HW Garage Sale for 5$ - awesome!!!! anyone know how to get scratches out of the "mirror"?

Its official..I can't keep up!

I can't seem to keep up with the blog lately!! Could it be that I have a VERY active and demanding almost 2-year-old who won't let me do anything on my own anymore???

We visited the old park that my parents used to take us to as kids..Oak Park Park. I fondly remember this train and the play structures. It was a great trip down memory lane....until some random teenagers tried to steal our diaper bag. Thats when you know its time to leave the park!!

Sunglasses and more sunglasses

We are starting to get ready for Disneyworld - YAAAAY!! Here I am trying to decide which pair of sunglasses I like best....

Sidenote: princess sweatshirt, dora pj bottoms, elmo slippers....I am a walking endorsement!!!!!!

Final answer.....I like the gold ones!

Sidewalk Chalk!

Since cleaning out the garage last weekend, we have re-discovered all of our outdoor toys again! Yesterday we got out the sidewalk chalk that was in my 1st birthday goody bags (finally - we get to use some!!). As you can see, I had a great time getting all dirty in the driveway!!

Reading some books before we went out...

Snow White and Cinderella

Gramamma came to babysit for me today and brought me my new favorite toy - Snow White and Cinderella figurines! The best part is that they each came with 3 different outfits so I can dress and undress them all day! I will certainly be ready for breakfast at Cinderella's castle now!!
