Allie just loves her new sandbox. She got it for her birthday with her money from Ninny and Pa, and she has had a ball with it so far. Of course, she does eat the sand and she does try to pick up the bugs that make their way in there and eat them too, but other than that I love it. She will stay in there for a long time. We put it right by the garden so that she can play in there while we do garden stuff, (however we have no idea what we are doing so that is why I do not elaborate, I just say garden stuff.) I just got her a pool yesterday so I am so excited to put her in that. I think she will love it. She met a new little friend from the neighborhood name Jaylin and we are going to get together on Tuesday for their first little playdate. I am so excited. I just hope Allie will share her sandbox. She is the sweetest baby ever though, so I think she will!


...and after a hard day of play, Allie and Daddy take a little rest.

Got to love Saturdays!

I absolutely love Saturdays! On Saturday, I refuse to clean toilets, mop, vacuum, do any major cooking, or do anything major for that matter. I just kind of do the absolute necessities (can't stand unmaid beds, a dirty kitchen, and unswept floors,) but other than that I can pretty much deal with it. So, I actually have time to blog. I know it has been a while, but this week has been different for me. I actually started working part time at the bank I used to work at two days a week. I am really enjoying it so far, and it keeps Michael from having to have a second job on Saturdays so that makes it SO WORTH IT! It kind of gives me a little relaxation time too, and Allie stays with her Mimi and they just have a ball together. In fact, I go to pick her up and she just looks at me like, oh it's you, hey mom, so I don't feel bad about leaving her at all. As long as it works out where I only have to work a couple of days a week, I still feel like a stay at home mom and I feel like I am being a help meet to my sweetie pie, so it all works out! I am working on borrowed time here because Allie is sleeping and I am sure it won't last much longer so I will not bore you anymore with the details of my life and get on to what you really want to see...pictures of Allie!
