Weekend Love!

I just love the weekends. I need a job where I have at least a 4 day weekend, every weekend. Oh and with the same pay and benefits (please let me know if you have any leads). A great weekend! Saturday we hung around and ran some errands and had Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Paul over for pizza (as a thank you for our big girl bed!). Chris made deep dish pizza on the Green Egg-omg out of this world! Sunday we hung out with Nana and enjoyed the outdoors! EC even got to get her face painted for the first time-very cute and I've never seen her sit so still. We planted some herbs and tomatoes and spent most of the day outside. Great weekend overall! EC is still choosing not to nap...but I'm trying to take it as a positive since this means we get to spend more time together...right?

Face Painting!

Mommy and EC!

New Deck Chris built (this was just before it was finished...so I'll get some better shots soon. 

Emma Clare is for the most part an easy going child-but oh boy this Saturday she showed her true two year old self! She refused to nap in her bed (got out at least 10 times) and then proceed to throw several fits for the rest of the day since she was so tired from no nap. Yikes. Then didn't want to stay in her bed that night either, but only put up a small protest and eventually gave in I think from sheer exhaustion! Then Sunday-she was a dream child. Took a great nap, was a good listener and generally chill. She went to bed without a peep. I guess I can handle the terrible twos as long as they are only in daily doses (because let me tell you both Chris and I were about to loose our cool Saturday evening!). Regardless she is cuter than cute and I can't get enough of her (even when she is being a grumpy Gus!)

All Aboard!

Do I have something on my mouth?

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! What a blessed day! We were able to spend time with family and friends this weekend and it made me so thankful to be close to home again. I miss all of our Savannah friends though! I have a bunch of pics on my camera, but of course did not upload them. I will try to remember, but here are a few from my phone (including pics of the big girl bed!).

Arts and Crafts time! 

Big girl bed! (for the most part she is doing great with the transition!)

Why is the Easter bunny so creepy?

Too Cute!

And back to creepy Easter bunny...

Big Girl Bed!

Our big news for the week is the Emma Clare is officially in her big girl bed! My awesome Aunt gave us the furniture and we got everything moved in on Sunday. Thinking that this would be a difficult transition, we did not move the crib out of her room (well...that paired with the fact that it does not fit out of the door and all of the screws are stripped so taking it apart is not an easy task). Honestly we thought we'd work on the transition next weekend, but for her nap we gave it a try, and she did great. And has done great the last two nights. She loves climbing in and out (although she stays in bed in the morning until I come and get her...we'll see how long that lasts). She did ask if she could eat dinner in bed. I'm not going to tell you our answer...Once we get the crib out officially I'll take pictures and post. EC had a great Saturday with Nana, including going to the library, Easter egg hung and a sleep over. I've posted some pics and videos below...only at Nana's! :) Hope everyone has a blessed week! 

At least someone is happy about the snow...

What a little ham!

Water with Nana

Peanut Butter is Delicious! 

Warm Weather!

A few shots below are Emma Clare's actual birthday (on April 2nd). This is like the second time in her life she has eaten fast food, she loved it of course! We went to Dairy Queen and had hot dogs and french fries and then topped the night off with a twist cone with sprinkles. Pretty epic when you are a two year old! This weekend Nana gave EC her birthday present-yes it is a mini cooper. What 2 year old doesn't have that? (EC, you are truly a spoiled girl!). She has not yet grasped that she needs to hit the pedal and stir...Daddy tried to show her (he ended up flipping the car). I'm sure she'll have it down by the end of the summer! Loving this weather...Stay Warm! :)

Yummy!! (Emma Clare LOVES ketchup!)

Go Daddy Go!!

Happy Birthday!

First, thank you to everyone who joined us (in a blizzard no less) for Emma Clare's second birthday party. Although spaces was tight in our house, it was so awesome to be surrounded by so much love! Emma Clare is one lucky girl! We had a great time partying the day away and eating yummy food. EC has so many toys now, she doesn't even know what to do! Can't wait for the weather to break to play with some of the outdoor toys!!
