Picture of the Day ~ Week 10

Wow, week 10 already?! I couldn't decide which picture to use for Thursday (actually I wanted both), so I did two. You're welcome! :-)

Today as we were leaving Church L said, “look mom, we could use this as our picture of the day,” referring to her walking in the snowy parking lot {a girl after my own heart!}. However, stopping in the middle of the busy post-Church parking lot for a picture is not such a good idea. Later, I tried to re-enact it, but L started ‘catching snowflakes’ on her tongue and I got a picture of that instead!

I needed to get a list made of things we need from the grocery store today, without having to chase after Baby I. So, I kept him in his high chair and pushed him close to the fridge so he could play with L’s leapfrog letters. Guess what? It was a huge hit! Although, I may have been subjected to the “ABC Song” more times than I care to count.

One day last week, I let L take some pictures with my camera and ever since; she has been begging me to take more ‘real pictures.’ So today, I handed her the camera and said, “Take a picture of Baby I and I!” And she did {the pictures of Baby I and I she took today, the others are from that day last week}.

We got a letter from the City in the mail today. D opened it up to find this {Yes, it does say ‘CONSENT TO CONSTRUCT OR REMOVE EMERGENCY FLOOD CONTROL STRUCTURES’}. Really?! Again? Sigh!

Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandpa were in town today for a Doctor’s appointment and they stopped at our place on their way home. L thought that everyone should wear a hat, so they did. They even let me take their picture {such good sports!}! Thanks for playing with us Gma, Gpa and Great Gpa!

D and I planned a date night for tonight before we knew that D’s family would be coming down. So, I left meatloaf and baked potatoes for everyone (including D, J and Cousin K who were babysitting) and we headed to Five Guys Burgers and Fries {hey, when you get a chance for a date, you take it!}. D had been wanting to eat here since it opened last summer and we finally made it. I gotta say, I think we got the better meal. The food was delicious!

Baby I loves to cuddle, he always has, even as a newborn. He can often be found like this, snuggled up on L’s Pillow Pet {or his own, whichever is nearby!}.

D spent part of his Saturday putting in a new sump pump. Our old one wasn’t working as well as it should have been {as in sometimes not at all, don't worry we have a battery backup too!} so he decided to put in a new one before spring. Spring…now that's a nice thought, isn't it?!
