Things My Husband Says

Kyle:  Look how well I can do a handstand, and look how good my butt looks!

Anna and her Bear

Just recently Anna has started to become really attached to things.  In the past week she has grown attached to a baby doll at day care (but only the 'chubby one') and at home she has decided she needs to wear a bib, at all times. 

Right now, she is attached to one of her teddy bears.  She carries it around everywhere, she makes it wear a diaper, and she puts it to bed at night by placing it on a pillow, covering it with a blanket, and patting it on the back.  She also puts Kyle and I to bed that way. If only she would let us all sleep!

Good Things

 

• I got to visit one of my favorite cities, Chicago!
• Even better?  I took myself out for a night and saw Second City.  It was so so good and every one of the actors was super talented and funny.  I hope they all become big stars soon.

• I get to see my niece almost everyday.
• Even better?  Anna gets to see her cousin almost everyday.  She interacts with her a bit and is working on saying her name.  "Laide?"

  Thanks, Sean, for the pic.

• Only 1 month until we are on the beach!
• Even better?  Only 6 months until I get to check off visiting a new state.  Two actually - Maine and New Hampshire. 

• My mood is significantly improving with our wonderful weather.
• Even better?  It's going to continue - 70 and sunny all weekend.

• We are on our second month of Insanity
• Even better?  This is the last month.

Day Date

Every now and then Kyle and I take Anna to day care on our Friday's off and enjoy the day just the two of us.  Sometimes that means work around the house but this past Friday it meant a day out on the town.  

After a quick side trip to the doctor for some antibiotics, we went to the movies.  (Note to doctors:  If I say I do not want Penicillin because it makes me nauseous, do not judge me for claiming an allergy, just prescribe something else.)  We saw Mud (a bit slow but still very good) in the most comfortable theater seats ever!  We probably should have paid another $7 just to take a nap.

   

After, we had lunch at Circa.  I have always wanted to try this place and it was good.  Although, I only got garden salad, so my recommendation might not mean anything.  (The scale at the Dr. was really off, but I ate salad just in case.)
 

After our late lunch it was already time to head back to Census to pick Anna up.  I do feel a little bit guilty about our days off but not guilty enough to keep from enjoying them.

 

Since it is now summer in DC (I am not complaining by the way), we decided to play outside today after work.

I've got water, in a glass,

and I can pour it into another glass.

Duh, I'm awesome.

This is hard work.

Break time.

Don't touch my water, Dad.

Maybe I should have used some of that water to calm my hair down,

instead of giving it all to the dog.

Phew, this is still hard.

I'm outta here.

Maybe.

This is a good look, right?

Carnival

I thought it might be fun to take some pictures of the carnival that visits the nearby mall once a year.  I also thought it might be fun to pick up a candy apple.  However, when I arrived I realized that it costs money just to get into the carnival grounds (!!) so I cheapened out and just took pictures from the parking lot. 

Cherry Blossoms

Visiting these will never get old.
