Nothin' lil about THESE bubbles!


I can't believe today is Friday. This week FLEW by for us, which is weird because I thought it was gonna drag. See, hubby has been out of town since early Monday morning building a cabin with his dad and it has been just us girls at home. I didn't think I would be real good at the single mom thing, but it was actually a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong: I miss my man and I'm very glad he's coming home tonight, but Lily and I had a great time together. (Although, I did NOT get very good sleep! I am a big, fat scaredy-cat. And, last night I was up due to a very sore throat. I think my Strep is back. Ugh.) Anyway, Wednesday we stayed in our jammies most of the day because it rained nonstop. We finally got dressed in the evening so we could run to Target for a few things. As we were leaving Lily was waving and yelling "We'll be back red tarts!" As I've mentioned before, she's a huge fan of their red carts.
Yesterday we were at my sister's from 1 until 9 cuz she needed me to babysit. Lily (like always) had a blast with her cousins. I have more pictures I'll post another time. We were outside for hours, and I actually got a sunburn! Woo hoo! We played on the swings, the slide, the monkey bars, and yep! we blew bubbles for a very long time. She truly is a Lil Bubble Queen. I have never in my life seen anyone love bubbles as much as she does. "Momma, I'm gonna bwow a big one and a wittle one and a double one for you, otay?" "Now you bwow a big one and I pop it!" And on and on it goes. She played so hard that she fell asleep in the car on the way home and stayed asleep while I brought her into the house. That NEVER happens. Like I said, it was a really good week. Hope you all had a good one too!

Is it my imagination (or the color of the photos) or does Lily already have a tan?

I'm glad you survived the week (well, more than survived!) and that everyone had such a fun time yesterday.

Please tell Lily those are the best bubbles I have ever seen!

girl time is soooo much fun! I'm with you though - not a good sleeper when DH is gone at night (thank heavens he's gone off of shift for the next three years...I might actually get some sleep!)

Thanks Nikki for your comment on my post. I don't normally come back and say thanks, but it meant a lot to me- it's hard, and I'm not sure why this time and not as much last year. Maybe I was too numb them, as she had only just died 5 months prior. I don't expect there will ever be a time I don't want her here. And that's okay- it's a testament honestly to how much I loved her. : o )

Great job at the supermom single mom schedule this week. It can be so scary to be left alone with the little one. And, I just love the picture of Lily almost eating the bubble. Too cute!
