Hey Diddle with some CHEESE! for Daddy

Last week I started preschool at home with Pekay. We have both been enjoying our time. Here is the 1st nursery rhyme we have learned. Pekay says "cheese daddy" because, at first, she thinks we are doing a picture for daddy.

If you listen you can hear her mumble "the little dog laughed to see such a sport" part!

Hope you all are having a great Wednesday.

getting her beauty wrist

As you can see, Pekay is officially in her big girl bed now. She had been crawling out of her crib for awhile, so now she can safely climb in and out. Notice in the top picture -she is pretending to sleep. :)

One thing I love about the big girl bed:
Pekay's door opening, sounds of her little "pretty toes" feet down the hall, our door open, and her climbing into bed to snuggle ! *smiles*

flavored thumbs

12.May.2009

So it has been awhile since the last post, so I thought today would be a good day to update our blog. First you will be seeing some changes around this here place. We are thinking of making this, our family blog, private. So don't worry all you ladeda fans, you can enter if you so wish. I understand your need to see into the window of such an adorable girl. ALSO -I have been wanting to post more about my lovely "dirty hippie" (as the Mr. lovingly calls me) ways, and my urgent need to become more simple (and all the research I do in between). So I have started a new blog, for all you to enjoy as well! The Simple Snail. It is still in the construction phase, but I will be posting and adding stuff to it soon!!! ~T~



So - moving right along- you are probably wanting to hear and see some funny things on the "beauty wrist princess"
As most of you know Pekay enjoys a good thumb with her cherished "pink b.b." of course!

So this morning as I was changing her diaper (what did grandma paysor call it...smoking?...well she was sucking her thumb) I asked her if her thumb tasted good. Now I have asked her this before...but it is great because it always tastes different. Today went like so:

Mom.ma: "How does your thumb taste."
Pekay: "Like chicken"
Mom.ma: "oh really!"
A few seconds later Pekay also adds: "and avocado too"

Last time I asked she said peanut butter!
There you have it people, a very delicious and nutritious thumb!

Special Cookies and Wishes for Daddy

She put her own apron on...tied* it and everything!

Getting Ready to make Special Peanut Butter Cookies

On our way out to pick daddy some yellow flowers!

So Pekay and Mom.ma thought they would do a special post for daddy. So the day began with getting dolled up for outside- so we could pick all the pretty flowers daddy would so love to get rid of... we weeded.
Then after her bath- Pekay helped Mom.ma make daddy's favorite cookies. Pekay thought they needed something extra - so she added a dribble of spit. I am sure daddy won't mind, he did eat his chocolate ...the one that Pekay took off the counter and was chewing on...then stuck the whole thing in her mouth and then put it back on the counter because Mom.ma said it was daddy's.

I think Daddy will think these are his favorite for sure!

Then we made daddy a card...just to tell him we love him and that we hope he is having a good day. He is working on bringing home the bacon you know.

Happy Birthday Daddy- Josh!

WE LUB YOU more than moonies!!!!

Easter Blessings

a true story brought to you by Peanut.
The scene: daddy was trying to get the camera set up- so we could use the timer. The family was patiently waiting to have their mugs recorded for future sentimental enjoyment...including miss chick-p. Then for our enjoyment and now yours- Pekay stated the following:

"Push the button"
"Josh push the button"
"Broken?"
"Fix it?"
"Here I show you"

easter sunday: take two

"cheese"
