Fun at Barnes and Noble

I love this place!
Molly putting on a show
Can I take Curious George home?
I love this book!
Daddy loves books too!
Tonight we went to went to the mall and hung out in the new Barnes and Noble. Molly had a great time again. This store had the best kids department yet. They had a train table for the kids to play with and a great story time area. It is the best place for all three of us to be entertained. We didn't do much else today because I am fighting a very annoying cold and Molly was kinda tired. I would have liked to have been more productive, but that is my story everyday! Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow and we will have a great Sunday!

Drama Queen

Thank goodness for BooBoo Buddy!
BooBoo
Mommy reminded me of my BooBoo
Daddy's Funny!
Look what Daddy made!
Molly had kind of a rough day. She got another big scratch across her face:( We just can't get her face cleared up! Then Daddy took off early and picked her up from daycare and took her to the park (it was 70 here today!) and she got her finger pinched between the swing chain and the swing. She walked around after that with her finger held out. When I got home that was the first thing she showed me and we had to get out the BooBoo buddy! She loves that thing! It is red and a little swollen, so Im sure it really did hurt, but Daddy thinks she is a bit of a drama queen. Which maybe true, but hey, when you are a princess that what happens!

Mommy's Little Helper




Tonight I was cleaning up Molly's room and she picked up the big broom and dustpan and was trying to sweep up dirt into the dustpan! I was amazed that she knew what to do with both of them. I usually clean when she is in bed, but I guess they probably do it at the daycare too (I forget she has a life outside of me!) So since she wanted to help, I went and got here this Molly size dust pan and brush. It kept her occupied for a long time! I hope this interest in cleaning continues!
Today we went to The Bernings house along with the Bryants and had a playdate. It was so good to see everyone and catch up. The kids all had a good time playing with new toys. Thanks for such a great time everyone!
The weekend has gone by too quick again, but it was a good one. Molly was so tired from her weekend of dancing and playing that she was falling asleep at the dinner table! 5 more days till the next one!

Daddy Daughter Dance

What a great night!
Running is my favorite part!
Looks like fun!
One kiss for Daddy?
They've got the moves
Getting Braver...
Now she's grooving
Yummy!
Yummy!
Yummy!
A goodnight kiss from Daddy
Nite-nite Da Da


What an amazing night! I am so thrilled that I got to be a part of such a fun night. Tonight was the Daddy Daughter Dance that Andy organized for the town of O'fallon, IL. He did such a great job. They had a great turn out and everyone seemed to have a great time. There was a lot of Hannah Montana played! Molly was Andy's date for the evening and I was the chaperone. I wasn't sure how she would do, but it turns out the girl loves to dance! She had a blast! She ran all over the place, danced with Daddy, ate cupcakes, what more could a girl want? This was the best video that I took because it is mostly just them on the dance floor because everyone else was eating. (Molly was having no part of eating when there was dancing to be done!)

I am so thankful and proud that Andy is such an amazing and devoted Dad. It was such a thrill to watch the two of them on the dance floor having fun. Molly is a lucky girl.

Dancing Queen

Tomorrow is the Daddy Daughter dance. So tonight Daddy and Molly were practicing their moves. She is at that stage right now where she mimics everything you do and say, so you can get some really funny moves out of her! Here are a few...

Daddy's Home!!!

What a beautiful sight!

Jay and Tage-Andy's best friends minus Ed who is lost on the mountain!
That's a long way down!
Andy got home last night late so he did not get to see Molly. They were both very excited to wake up today and see each other. Andy got a big hug! She was very excited to show him her new slide and new books! She definitely misses him when he is gone. Andy had a great time, of course. He loved his guy time, but "missed his girls", he said. He really liked Vermont and said it was the best slopes he had seen. They want to make it an annual trip, but next year with us too. I'll believe that when I see it! Anyways, welcome home Daddy! We are happy to have our life back in order with everyone under one roof!

The New Slide!

So happy!


A Valentine from the Gambrels!




Molly got this awesome slide for Christmas from Mimi and Pa Pa. We could not bring it home before now because it wouldn't fit in the car. So, today I got all the pieces in the car and brought it home. The first thing I did when we walked in the door, was put the slide together (as you can tell from the house). I might have been as excited as Molly! I just knew she would love it! She did a really good job being patient while I put it together. She is such a good girl! I love in the video where she tries to tighten the knob like I did. She is so observant. We had a great weekend together. She was a great traveler for me. I couldn't have asked for better. Molly and the dogs, too. I am very lucky! I am also very glad we are back home safe and sound.

**Molly also got her Valentine from the Gambrels today! A book and candy and some other little trinkets and McDonald's coupons! Thank you so much Gambrel Family! We love you!

**I did pick up the house, by the way!

Mimi n Addi!
Saturday was Valentines day and we had a great day! When we woke up Molly and I each had a surprise Valentine from Andy, so we were very excited about that! That was very nice of him and got him out of the dog house a little! After that we went to the Childrens Musuem in Indy and the kids ran and ran and ran! They had a blast! There was so much to explore. They really had a good time. After a nap we all met up again for dinner at Red Robin. Which is a great place for kids. It is loud and they have great food! When we were done eating we went to Old Navy and Borders and had a great time. I discovered that Molly loves Borders! I should have known since she loves books so much! She was in book heaven. She even got to bring 3 home! What a great day! The only thing missing was Daddy. :(
