I am getting a PURPLE bedroom...I don’t know when exactly, but I saw the house and it sure looks neat. Mom and Dad made an offer on a short sale house….I’m not really sure why they call it a short sale because it might take a year before we get to move. Anyway, I will have a purple bedroom and Luke is getting a blue one. It will have fenced yard and a swing set too! I’m pretty excited about it and so are mom and dad. They can’t wait to move again; apparently they had so much fun last year packing we are going to do it this year. Mom and Dad hope it’s the last move for awhile.
I am in dance class, Tippi Toes really. I love to dance and twirl. My big dance recital is coming up but I have to miss it because we will be in North Carolina for a wedding mom is in. I wonder if I can wear my dance costume to the wedding since I’ll miss the recital. Mom says no, but I’ll work on her so I can wear it.
I went to my first princess themed birthday party for a friend from daycare turning 5. It was really fun and mom bought a present for me to share. She thought she was being sneaking by buying a gift on clearance. We thought the party would be pretty simple, but wow, were we in for a rude awakening and mom reconsidered her $8 clearance gift. When we pulled up to the development of the party we read a sign that said the home development prices ranged from $500,000-$1,000,000….that’s the starting price….ugh, mom thinks she should have increased her gift amount. Oops! Anyway, not only was this a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, nice housing development that we didn’t know existed, but the party had a real princess….Sleeping Beauty there. Yes, mom said she was a professional actress with voice training, but I think she was the real deal. They sure set the bar high for birthday parties! Mom says the $1.00 cake mix for cupcakes looks pretty pathetic now….that’s what she typically does for me.
There are never too many cooks in the kitchen….I’ve been helping mom and dad cook. Lately I have been exploring pasta recipes. Check out the photo of me learning about pasta. It was really easy to dump out and took a bit more work to clean up.
Professional painter….of fingernails. I have been practicing painting finger nails lately. I think I’m pretty good, what do you think?
We took a trip to IA to visit Uncle Tom’s family over the weekend and it sure was fun. ON the way back we stopped and visited some other relatives in Iowa City…good thing we stopped because I ended up with the stomach flu…one word, YUCK! It was nice Mike and Pat let us stay there overnight. 24 hours later we were on the road again. I’m still not 100%, but at least I’m at home now.
Tomorrow is a big day around here…Mom heads back to work. I think she’s ready, well as ready as she can be. I know she loved spending time at home with Luke and me of course, but it’s time to get back to work. Mom says it’s nice Luke will be with Daddy so she isn’t taking him to daycare yet.
Yes, Luke is still around. He is going to be my BIG little brother in no time. At 2 months I was 10 lb. 10 oz. Luke on the other hand is 13 lb. 4 oz. and 22 inches long. He likes to smile at me and I can get him to stop crying when he is fussy.
As you can see from the picture, Luke really loves me.
Mom says everyone likes a boy who shows a little skin....I don't know if this should count for Luke...he has a lot of rolls....
Okay, I should get going. There is so much to do as a big sister.
