A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Sorry for the delay in updates. It gets very hard to sit down in front of the computer to do a post when it is so beautiful outside and it stays light out so late now. We have such a short window of wonderful weather here in MN that I feel like I have to capitalize on the opportunity to enjoy every minute of it when a nice day comes along. I don't think I even turned our home computer on in 5 whole days! So I guess I have some updating to do!!!
Although I wasn't utilizing my computer last weekend, I was surely using my other favorite device...my camera! As an added bonus, I had two entertaining, cooperative children too!
These are some of my favorite pictures thus far of my little Tootie... I just love, love, love that I can put ponies in her hair and that she leaves them in! I just tell her over and over how pretty she is and she leaves them alone! And the colors on her shirt are so fun with the green background of the yard and flower garden.She was really getting in to the posing as you can see!

And then out comes the tongue. Not sure what that is all about. I know it comes out when she is being shy and doesn't have her Nukie to suck on. Maybe she's just a crazy little monkey!
Yep, that must be it, because here she is after I told her to dance like her Daddy!!My little tongue bearing, finger pointing, dancing queen! If you think that is funny than you should see what her dad looks like when he busts out his "moves"!!!While Tootie and I were having a fun photo shoot in the garden, Mr. Man thought it was a perfect opportunity to throw on his swim suit and run through the sprinkler! Oh, and notice this crazy cat just HAD to wear his "water boots.You know, since he was running through water and all! Also notice the expression on his face. Doesn't it look like he is being tortured having a blast! Doesn't this just make you want to be a kid again? I was tempted, but then the visual of my neighbors John and Mary trying to eat lunch while watching my bikini clad mom body trotting across the yard, made me think otherwise!We'll leave the sprinkler runnin', booty shakin' to this little character! It is another beautiful day so I am trying to decide what the kids and I should do today. Stay at home and play outside? Little Falls Zoo? Go to the park? Visit some friends? Arrrgh! Decisions, decisions!
