A Great Day

This last weekend was our last weekend before the baby comes so we wanted to just enjoy being together.  We went to breakfast and then went downtown to the farmer's market so that Sadie could ride the pony at the  park.  The pony ride didn't happen because she was too scared to ride, which is weird because she isn't ever afraid of anything.  Thank goodness they had jump castles because she loves jumping and sliding.  We didn't stay too long because it was so hot and humid so we just went to the Yogurt Mountain and had fruit sorbets. K wanted to see the water while we were there so we went to the Battery and watched all the sailboats.  We had a backyard cookout later that night with friends, great way to end the day.

First Haircut and the Sprinkler Park

S really needed to get a haircut because she had a definite mullet going on, curly yes, but still a mullet:)  So we found this place by our house that is just for kids and has all sorts of fun stuff for them to do.  There are flat screens at every chair playing Disney movies and a play area and all the lollipops your child can eat!  You can see in the pictures that she is pretty nervous until she gets a lollipop, then she is all smiles:)

Our local county park has a sprinkler park for little ones that S loves!  We went the other day with my sister and nephew, and a friend of ours met us there with her little girls.  S always ends up with another child's beach toy or bucket.  She found a little wagon this time and pulled it around the park the whole time.  She was definitely more content to play this year than last year which is one of the things I love about this age.  In one of the pictures I told her to go and sit by her cousin and she went and sat right ON him:)

Easter Weekend

I hope everyone had a good Easter, such a wonderful day of reflection!  We went on a little road trip to Greenville to spend Easter with K's parents and extended family.  We had a wonderful time and loved seeing everyone again!  I have always felt extremely blessed to not just love my in-laws, but like them too:)  I have always felt that they are the "big" family I never had but always wanted.  I am always blown away at how much effort they put into the holidays, and I love the southern cooking:)  There was a big dinner and then an Easter egg hunt for all the kids.  

She loved her Easter dress, she kept saying "princess".

On a completely different note, my girl loves a good chicken leg:)

The Nursery

Well, I was kind of feeling like haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy yet, so here we go!  I have to say this time around has been so different from my first pregnancy.  The weeks go by so quickly when you are focused on and chasing a two year old:)  I was over the moon when we found out we were going to have a boy.  I would have been equally as excited to have another little girl because I really want S to have a sister.   We just felt extremely blessed to be able to experience and raise a daughter and a son.  

I loved putting his nursery together, and I think that I actually like it better than S's nursery.  I got the bedding on Craigslist for 20 dollars before I even new it was a boy.  I was able to get crazy deals on the crib and changing table at Target because they were on clearance and their credit card machines weren't working right so I they pretty much gave it away!  We already had the glider and the day bead was in the guest room, which is now S's new room.  I love to go in there and just sit and rock, it feels like I am at a beach house!

Our Weekend

The Flowertown Festival was this weekend and S and I actually went twice:)  We went on Friday with my mom and sister when it wasn't so crowded and then again on Saturday with K.  Both days were beautiful but Saturday it was super crowded and we could hardly walk much less see anything because there were so many people!  I think K even got a little claustrophobic so we left after we let S ride some rides and ate lunch.

Today after church K and S planted some veggies in the planter boxes that K made.  She has been so excited about planting "seeds" with daddy, she has been talking about it all week!  She has a gardening book that she loves so when K told her she could help plant with him she was one happy little girl.  They planted some tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and green onions I think.  Hopefully they grow right so she can watch them and we can have fresh veggies!

She's An Outdoor Girl

I don't know about you but I have been so thankful for this beautiful weather we have been having lately.  I have a little girl that would live outside if we let her.  I think one of my favorite things about living in Charleston is the spring and fall seasons because they are so mild and generally very sunny.

S had her little friends over to play for the day last week and as you can see they had a great time!

We had our first little "movie night" last week too and S thought it was the greatest thing ever:)  We watched Toy Story 3 but S only made it through about half of it before I thought it was a little too "scary" for her to watch right before bed.  She is prone to having nightmares so I don't want anything she sees to encourage the bad dreams.  We will definitely do it again though because she had so much fun sitting with daddy and eating popcorn!
