What a weekend it was!?!?

Dear Maizy,

We had such an awesome weekend!!  Thank you!  Well first we'll start off on Thursday night when we rented The Muppets and ate popcorn.  You LOVE popcorn.  First we shared a bowl, then you asked for "more", then you didn't care to share your second or third bowl.  You actually took your bowl over to your Dora table and devoured the popcorn all by yourself. 

I thought The Muppets movie was adorable but you didn't care for it too much - maybe in another year or so you'll be in to it.

Friday you spent the day at Grandma Donker's house and I got off work a little early.  Woo hoo!!!  I couldn't wait to see you.  Then we went home, picked up daddy and ran errands.  We bought you and daddy some new shoes.  You needed some new tennis shoes for the park, so we got you the cutest little pink pair!  Then we also bought you a Spiderman ball to play with too.

Then stopped at the grocery store to get stuff for dinner.  I made us some yummy stuff - it's not too often that I get to cook!!

You took a nap then when you woke up we played and then went to bed!!

Saturday morning we woke up kind of early and had to run a few errands before your Easter pictures but not before having breakfast outside.  While we were getting ready I heard your dad in a huff about something, so I ran upstairs and this what he was upset about.

Yep!  You threw dad's toothbrush in the toilet!! Ha ha ha!!  Thanks for not throwing mine.  We all got a good laugh out of it.  I knew it was bound to happen.  I looked at the bright side of things and was just glad it wasn't a cell phone.

Then we got you all ready for your pics and your dad got called into work at the last minute.  BUMMER!! 

You looked so freakin' adorable for your pics!!!  Grandma Shelly met us at the photo studio. When we got inside to take the pics there were live bunnies and chicks.  You weren't sure what to think of the live animals, so you weren't smiling too much, so I had to take action.  I started hopping, yes like a bunny, behind the photographer to get you to laugh!!  And laugh you did.  You have the most amazing smile and laugh.  I even got you to wear a headband for the event.  You only took it out um, three times, during the pictures, but you did wear it.  You make mommy so proud. 

Then after pictures, we went and changed your clothes and went and had lunch at Archibald's, it was yummy and fun!!  Grandma and I get the biggest kick out of you.  Then after lunch we walked around Gardner Village.  Got some ice cream to share but you were more interested in  running around.   

And Oh My Gosh do you get SO much attention.  In every store we went in you were offered candy, balloons and stickers!!  You were running on pure sugar that day since you only had a 25 minute power nap!  I am SO proud of the little person that you are.  You are always smiling, talking and laughing.  There was a little girl crying outside one of the shops and you said "Oooooooo" and out your hands over your mouth - you felt bad she was crying.  It was really cute of you.  You already show compassion and love for others. 

After Gardner Village we drove home where you were screaming most of the way - you didn't  want to be in your car seat.  Then we got stuck in traffic for a few minutes, but we finally made it home.  We picked up dad then went to Todd, Sara and Christian's house.  You fell asleep on the way over there - you needed to rest.  Then you woke up and played like crazy with Christian and Todd's grandson Colton.  Colton really wasn't a fan of you! You were playing with his hair and then you poked him in the eye.  Sara and I were laughing.  Colton was just staring at you.  Then Sara got paper and crayons for the 3 of you but you wanted to color on the same page as Colton and tried to take his crayon a couple of times - he did the same to you.  It cracks me up to see you with other kids interacting.  You are so adorable. You played hard all night.

Then we went home about midnight and you and I slept in until 11 a.m. Sunday morning.  Your father went in to check on you and you were sitting up in your crib with our legs hanging out of the side, it cracked us up!  Then we went downstairs for a yummy steak and egg breakfast.  You wanted to go outside of course, so outside you went. 

Then Sunday we just stayed in and cleaned and played all day, it was AWESOME!!!  We started to rearrange your room a little but it's a little tricky working around you and all of your toys!!

After dinner it was bath time!  You were being so brave and would put your whole head back in the water.  I've never seen you do that before.  Were having a blast in the tub - like always.  I kept calling you "mommy's little mermaid". 

Then we got you in your jammies and continued the night with cleaning some more, playing and reading books!

You are starting to pretend a lot more and it's super adorable and very clever of you.

Thanks for the awesome, awesome weekend!!

Here's to a great week!

Love you!

Love,
mommy
