Our Week in Camera Phone Pics (5)

I haven't done this for a while, so thought it was time.

Monday the 1st - Good Morning! Shopping at HyVee in her favorite pink car cart (although she kept wishing her bestie SG was riding with her). Ice-Cream treat. Combing her hair and 'making it beautiful' after her bath.

Tuesday the 2nd - So happy holding baby Lincoln. Fun at the park - no fear of the tall-twisty slide and sliding with Mama. Ice-cream (again) with Grandpa.


Wednesday the 3rd - She made a card for her friend, SG. I'm so impressed with her coloring of the hearts and flowers. Walking the dogs to the post office. Chillin' in her new bean-bag chair. Helpin' Mama with dishes.


Thursday the 4th - M such a helper! Begging for this giraffe (she got it by the way - thanks to Gpa!). Sliiiiiiiiide! Her first little manicure!

Friday the 5th - Playing with Liv at Stroller Strides (right after this pic she pushed her backwards. :( Poor Liv!) More park fun with Gpa Dave and Great Grandma Bevy. Yay! Daddy's home - time to paint!

Saturday the 6th - Swim class at the Y. Followed by some basketball. Shopping for tools. Puppet show with Grandma Tracy.

Sunday the 7th - Her favorite-Sprinkle donut holes! Playing outside with a lady bug.

It was a fun and busy week! :) Happy Monday!

Our Week in Camera Phone Pics (4)

Monday (the 24th) Watchin' some Doc McStuffins while munchin' on some cereal. After dropping her off at music class with Grandma Tracy, I actually got to shop without a cute 2 year old in my cart. Swinging. Makin' (eatin') cookies.


Tuesday (the 25th) We went to toddler time at CFA. M actually sat and listened during story time! Makin' her craft. Frosting a dessert bread with Great Grandma Bev for a family dinner.


Wednesday (the 26th) Painting her own pottery for our weekly play date. Visiting our good friends' farm. It was a super fun day for M!


Thursday (the 27th) Helping me scramble some eggs for breakfast. Going to the library for the first time. Playing around with her cousin Jason (since he was staying/working with us for the week).


Friday (the 28th) After a breakfast date, Jason had to leave. At the park after Stroller Strides. Playin' with a fun toy at Great Grandma Bev's. Bath time!


Saturday (the 29th) At another playground. Again. Paintin' the kitty's face.


Sunday (the 30th) GO VIKINGS! Helpin' Daddy patch a hole in our wall. At her desk. Shopping (she got candy of course since Josh was with us!). Family pic outside of Chili's before dinner with Tracy and my Dad.

SUNDAY (the 5th) Good morning! (Closing her eyes in anticipation of the flash!) She played with these bottles of water for quite some time. Watching the Puppy Bowl with her beloved puppy, Winky! I actually made something from Pinterest for the Super Bowl party we went too...yummy cheesy bacon potato rounds!

MONDAY Chillin' on the balance beam things (not sure what they are called) at Music Class. Coloring! She LOVES coloring and hoarding crayons. Wearin' Daddy's stocking hat. Snuggling with Daddy before bath time.

TUESDAY I don't know how she did it...but she got in that thing by herself! She can't get out though, so she had to yell for me, and that's how I found her! She also found these cookies and helped herself. Hugs for Winky. Showing G'pa her new "MagnaDoodle."

WEDNESDAY We had a super long morning/afternoon. I'll admit, I was being lazy and allowed her to eat her yogurt on the counter. Bad Mama! Another pic of M and Mama. Of course she is squinting. When will she stop squinting for photos?!

THURSDAY Target is always fun! And then later that night she learned how to use the water dispenser on our fridge...and Mama learned there is a lock button for the dispenser! Wearing Mama's hoodie. Her first taste of a McDonald's Shamrock Shake!

FRIDAY It's SO blurry! :( But I had to include it because M and her friends from Stroller Strides were having so much fun after class that day! That's AJ, Liam, and Sarah Grace! Later that night she helped G'ma with a cheerio necklace...that she eventually ate of course.

SATURDAY This is M throwing a "tantrum" because I wouldn't let her use the TV remote. She fake cries with her head down.

Whew. Well, that was some of our week! I haven't done this since August. I've learned that M is SO hard to take pics of with my phone because she is almost always moving...or squinting! Hoping the squinting will end soon...although, I guess that's what I get for trying to take her picture all the time! Haha!

MONDAY (the 29th) - Good Morning! Trying to climb on the diaper box...(Mama's scared to have a climber soon!). She discovered she can see herself in wheel of her walker. Finally figured out the lazy susan cupboards...they don't have handles, so she's never really bothered with them...until now. She did this in about 2 seconds, and she's not in the picture since she ran away.

TUESDAY -Riding in Daddy's truck...in a foward facing car seat! We visited the Muscatine Courthouse to check out the new job we're starting. Madison and I went all the way to the top with Daddy! She LOVES watermelon now! She enjoyed a big piece for dessert after her dinner.

WEDNESDAY - Watching some Yo Gabba Gabba while I showered...I snapped this picture from around the corner. She likes to put her hands in the air when I sing to her or when she sings. More fun with her water table. Ah, a chocolate mint dilly bar to end my day.

Thursday - I tried taking OUR picture...this was the outcome. Madison's face makes me laugh. When she hears "Itsy Bitsy Spider," she loves dancing with her hands up! Her new favorite obsession is tearing anything she can into tiny pieces. After her bath she wanted to read...diaperless I guess.

Friday - We went to Walmart and I found a new toy for her only to play with ONLY during diaper changes. Hopefully this will make things less "traumatic" for her when I have to change her. It's such a battle! She wanted to help put groceries away. Lunch! Actin' crazy on the way to dinner...Mom got to sit next to her!

Saturday - Carter's was having a 50% off sale...plus I had an extra 20% off coupon, so we spent the day shopping with Grandma and Jeff at the outlet. (Josh was working.) M loves her Daddy - I love how she is gazing at him in that picture. She had to show off all her new clothes. All I got for myself was a new pair of flip flops. I had been wearing my old ones that I got back in...2005. I figured it was time for a replacement.

Sunday - Today was FAMILY DAY and it was AWESOME! We went to the grocery store, then after lunch, back out to Farm and Fleet (boring!), and then to the park! Madison had SO much fun just running around and watching the other kids. It was a gorgeous day out, too!

My first LINK out on the internet with other random bloggers! :) I'm kinda nervous actually. Anyways, I hope I'm posting this right!

MONDAY (the 15th) - Good Morning! Shopping at Target. Playing on new organizer bought at Target. (See post about that here.) Waiting patiently as cookies bake!

TUESDAY - Helping with Thank You cards from her birthday. Picture with Mama! Mac-n-cheese also makes for a great hair gel. Some time outside before bed.

WEDNESDAY - Really, she did this in like 30 seconds...ughhh...but she's SO cute! First time in the swings! Lunch with Grandpa at work. Snack at the park...she LOVES puffs!

THURSDAY - I put together her new water/sand table from her birthday. Watching Daddy nap over his lunch break. Yay! Book with Dad before he has to go back to work. Stop taking my photo and let me eat!

FRIDAY - Doctors visit...that's all I took for the day...boo on me!

SATURDAY - Time to watch some Fresh Beats on TV before nap time. First trip to the ZOO! A full post here!

SUNDAY - Not a lot of pics...after the zoo on Saturday, she spiked a fever (probably from vaccinations) and was pretty cranky most of Sunday. But, she must have felt better for a bit because she had a BLAST with her water table outside while Daddy did yard work. Don't let this fool ya though, she still hates baths...having her feet in water, etc. Oh well...baby steps, right!?

This was lotsa fun, but I don't think I'm disciplined enough to do it every week! Haha! I'm gonna try and do it once a month or so though...I loved re-living last week while working on this post!
