Random Tuesday at our house....

As if this clown costume wasn't freaky enough on Halloween. At least the Princess is adorbs.

Debby Downer

So we have been dealing with this:

Tropical storm Debbie.

She is wreaking havoc along the coast and bringing with her a boatload of rain and high winds. Not much to do in this awful weather, so we took Maddie for her first trip to The Imaginarium, a small local kids' museum. It's a bit small and there's not a ton of stuff to do, but definitely great for killing a couple of hours and getting the little stir-crazy munchkin out of the house! (on a side note....we french braided Mads hair for the first time ever...I think it came out purdy cute myself!)

  

Oh! And a last minute run for Ice Cream as the icky weekend came to a close. Perfection.

Best Daddy EVERRR!

Father's Day was...well, I hope everything Garret wanted. His requests: beach, lunch at his fave Jason's Deli, steaks on the grill and relaxation. Done, done, done and done.

 Our friends, The Bernals joined us for some evening pool time and dinner....they moved here from CO (why they would ever leave is beyond me :) and have no family. The kids get along well and we really hit it off with mom and dad. Papa also joined us, of course!

 And because he's the bestest Daddy ever, Garret bought Maddie this sand/water station thingie...so sweet to think of her on HIS day!

 And because I'm the bestest wife ever, I got him this pool float and a beer.

After making omelets for Daddy, Maddie decided to change into her finest to celebrate her favorite guy.

We sure are two lucky girls to have such an amazing man in our lives. It makes my heart happy to know this is the standard to which all men in her life will hopefully be held. She will be blessed to have someone like him....



Practice makes perfect.

 Hee hee. She usually wears Daddy's shoes and Lord knows I RARELY wear these but she decided on some fab, patent leather pumps and, well, navigated pretty darn well. I'm afraid.

Bella turns 5!!!

 My beautiful niece and Maddie's BFF turned the big five this past week! She had an awesome party...pool fun, bounce house and the coolest Little Mermaid cake ever! She had a blast and loved the Little Mermaid doll we got her that is water-safe! She's definitely one of my two favorite little girls in the universe!!
