GO Bears!!!

Just had to share how cute she is deck'd out in Daddy's favorite Team. She can't say Chicago ... so it comes out more like Ka-kahgo bears :) Found this cute shirt at Old Navy (What?!) Lucky for me the only one they had left was a 2T, I'm on the hunt at other locations to find 3 & 4T - so we'll be set for years to come!!
She was so excited to show Daddy his surprise - Her new "football shirt" she barely had it on and one leg in her jeans before she was trying to come down the stairs, yelling for him "daddy i got surprise"....

Friday FUN DAY

I try to leave work at 4pm on Fridays for multiple reasons, and 1 being more time with little person. We've been having our special adventures that included the ice cream day you saw here! Maybe we'll post pone something so messy for a while. I don't know if I'm over the sticky-ness yet.
Today we went by a little park. The good thing we were the only one so Hannah got to Rule the Kingdom. As only a toddler attention span dictates - swing, run, slide, bridge, back to slide, more running, swing - you get the picture. Here's a glimpse of her getting so big and independent.

Trike Update

Today was a BIG day .... We started peddling all by ourself!!! YUP, foot by foot we're getting there :)
Hannah only would go a few feet then need a jump start but, she's getting the feel.

Ice "Dream" - Who's dream?

Yes, you see it correctly, Hannah got to have a treat of Ice Cream or Ice Dream as Chick-Fil-A calls it. A warm Friday afternoon with a nice breeze and mommy actually got out of work at 4:00!!  Why go home right away, no way. Happiness was screaming in the back seat when the word "ice cream" was slightly mentioned. So we shared a yummy treat. Stickiness was expected, wipes were close at hand. What wasn't counted on was the stickiness would be all over her legs too... Oh my! I guess a two year old doesn't understand the paying it forward philosophy when in t-minus one minute after the ice "dream" was gone we bit mommy because we didn't want to walk down the sidewalk, get in the car, sit in the carseat. Ahhh to be two!

New Bike

I've only been looking for a tricycle since before her birthday... It became quickly apparent that stores run out of outdoor items in early spring :) Lesson Learned! So in an effort not to pay outrageous shipping cost of online retailers - I've been surfing Craigslist (but, of course)


I stumbled across this little cutie for a steal. It's a brand I've been looking for and it's made with over 95% recycled materials. So what could make mommy even happier? Even though my hunt was NOT for a "PINK" bike - The deal on this one was irresistible.

Spoke to the dad that was selling it and with such a typical married couple story : He purchased this one for his little princess and his wife not to long after found the exact replica of the one she had as a kid, so who won? You guessed it! So this little bike was ridden all of 2 times!



Hannah's still figuring out how to push down and circle the pedals but, is getting much better! I'm sure I'll be posting shots to come of her zooming away!
 

All Grins the Day it came home

Afternoon stroll in the Cul-de-sac

Giddy-Up Cowgirl

This week was spirit week at Hannah’s School. We’ve had a rainbow day (tacky day), PJ day, Sports Day – you get the picture ... Well today was “CAREER DAY” ---- umm what is in a 2yr olds wardrobe to dress them up as a career ?
Let’s see, a hand-me-down outfit that is in true Cowgirl style and of course!!!

We just had to accompany the ensemble with Mommies Cabbage Patch Horse (yes it’s from the 80’s here folks) that we’ve named “Pollo” after my Best Friend Tricia's Arabian that looks like just like it. Had to snap this pictures early before she wore her breakfast and lunch on the white shirt.
