Pirate ships, soccer games, and Mermaids, OH MY!





My last post was bugging me - please know that I am not depressed about what my future holds. I know God has a plan...I just spend some time wondering what that might be. Thank you all for your kind words, though, it means a lot to me! Now, on to other things...

Our weekend was great fun, but I don't have many pictures to show. Jay took Lily to Home Depot for the monthly free fun with tools and they built a very cool pirate ship. I stayed home and sent him with the camera. He left the camera in the car...typical. I swear, if I didn't take pictures - we would have NO pictures. ever. I'm not bitter...just mildly annoyed. So, here is a picture of Lily and her pirate ship when they got home - she is applying the finishing touches (stickers). Jay's parents AND grandparents were in town so we spent the day at a soccer game with them. It was a beautiful day and our team won! That evening we all went into our downtown area for dinner and a walk. It was really great to spend some time with them...a very special treat. Lily is CRAZY about them all - especially her great grandpa!
But, all good things must come to an end. Now it seems
Lily is fighting a bug. She has had a fever since last night, so we are just doin' the Motrin thing. It came on suddenly - one minute she was helping me make dinner (yes, in her ballerina costume) and the next minute she was sick. I had to leave her to go to work today and my mom was gracious enough to come HERE to watch her, so Lily didn't have to go out in the bitter cold. Yes, it is bitter cold today - rain mixed with snow. Yippee...can you FEEL my excitement? So, Lily just stayed in her jammies all day and watched "Dora saves the Mermaids" about 100 times. She has also had several tea parties. She has decided that she is "too hot" and "too sick" to walk. So, when she has to leave the couch she says "Momma, I need you to hode me. I can't walk. I reedy yuv you so vewee much!"
The feeling is mutual, sweet one. I really love you so very much too - get better soon. XO

Maƫlle is crazy about this whole Mermaids kingdom and the bad octopus dropping garbage everywhere! She speaks about it all the time.
The weekend sounded great, apart from the bug. Hope Lily will feel better soon.
I feel so depressed with the dark so early and the winter cold arriving. And it's only November...

So sorry to hear Lily is sick. We just got over something a couple weeks ago. So sweet that Lily watched Dora over and over again. Morgan is in to the Curious George movie right now. :)

awww. we had jammie day yesterday too...
She is so adorable. She and Caitlyn both have the cutest baby talk. I can just hear Lily because Caitlyn does the same thing.
of course you have to dress as a ballerina to cook, makes the food taste so much better! You should try it !:)
Hope she is on the mend and feeling better. Motrin is the best.

My husband has lost my camera twice when I've tried sending it with him to take pics of S.G. I will not send it with him any more. LOL!!

I am jealous of your weather. It's been unseasonably warm here. We had a cold front blow in, and now it's low 60's, but it will be warm again by the weekend. I want cold weather!!

I hope Lily feels better soon.

Hope Lily is feeling better soon. She is so sweet! My husband is the same, and rarely gets pictures. I guess I more than make up for it though:)
