"Just a minute, I busy"

Evie let's me know exactly what she is thinking and today she has been too busy for most everything. It's cute for now but it is not going to be cute for long! I know I say "just a minute" a lot and it's going to be a lot more. Not sure, where she got the "busy" part from. She also keeps saying, " I getcha inosaur." Unfortunately, the dinosaur spray has not done the trick. I still hear about the dinosaurs way more than neccesary but she will move on soon.


We have been hanging out at home all day and that sometimes gets hard. Evie asked me if we could have a picnic at the park tomorrow so that's our plan. It might be a real early picnic since it's supposed to be super hot.


Our favorite photographer is going on maternity leave sooner than expected so we are using someone she suggested. Valerie came by this morning to meet me, see examples of what we like in pictures and have a chance to warm up to Evie. I think we are going to really like her plus she sells us the images so we can make our own prints. I love that and it is so much cheaper than paying for each picture separately.


I have almost nothing left to do except three quick errands and two are not essential. I want to go to the grocery store one more time to keep everything stocked for those first crazy weeks. Evie goes through fruit, yogurt and chocolate milk faster than I can keep up. I need to get two frames for baby's new prints and I am still looking for some fun fabric for my pelmet board.


I must be forgetting something because I remember feeling pretty stressed before Evie arrived. Now, I know that diapers for him and food for us are the only things that I must have on hand. Blue Eyed Bride wrote about some moms that are nurses and their ideas for getting babies to sleep. Has anyone tried any of this? Evie was a good sleeper until we moved to TN than I had to sleep train her at 11 months since she was waking up 3-4 times per night. Crazy since she started sleeping 8 hour stretches at about a month.

Evie slept the afternoon away and then was so excited to see her Daddy get home to take her outside! He got some really good shots of our big girl. I am going to miss those bubbles next year. She will be too tall for them so this is our last summer with sweet girl bubbles. We will be moving on to sweet boy bubbles. It's a gorgeous night so she got to have a picnic supper with "roni" which thrilled her little heart. Carl went to get his haircut and he's picking up our traditional hair cut night food - Thai! There's a yummy place right across the street from our hair place called Jasmine. We love it!
