The Other Day

The other day, Eric decided to mow the grass before the rains started again. When he mows the backyard, the girls can hardly leave the backdoor. Every time he passes by, they go nuts waving and saying hi.

Here is Miss Lilly watching her Daddy....I managed to catch her with her eyes closed, but that smile still says it all to me!

Getting sleepy waiting for Daddy to pass by again...
I give her 2 months tops until she and Lexi are tall enough to open that door all by themselves. She can almost do it now, but she is a little too short to really get a good grip.
Both girls watching for Daddy...notice Lexi is wearing her raincoat and it isn't raining??? Well, let me explain. :)
She is obsessed with all things accessories....purses, bracelets, stuffed animals tucked under her arm, and her coats. The other day she wanted me to put her big winter coat on her...I told her it was too warm and she had a complete meltdown.

So here we have her in her new favorite raincoat.
But not just a raincoat...that would be boring! She first begged for her UMHB tutu. I made the girls special UMHB Homecoming outfits and CANNOT wait to reveal them in 3 weeks at the game. So this tutu is just a part of it...Then, while I was doing some laundry, she had Eric put 2 different shoes on her feet. Next, we have the raincoat. She walked around laughing and playing like this for about an hour. I hate to take things off of her, since she pitches a royal fit, but it has to be done eventually!

Last week, she tried this ensemble...pom-pom boots (Check!), zebra print purse (Check!), favorite purple frog (Check!)...that is one ready for anything little girl!!
