Hey Peeps. It’s me, the Little Miss. The Little Mister is around too…he’s just taking a nap…on Mommy. That poor woman. Someone needs to get her a massage (hint hint, Daddy!).
Well I’ve gotta tell you, we’ve have quite a summer. It all kicked off with my Little Brother being born in June. I think he’s pretty cool, though he doesn’t do much these days other than eat, sleep, and make “stinky poo-poo diapers” (as I like to call them). But I love holding him and giving him big smooches. And I love it when he smiles at me. My only problem is all of the new rules I have to follow, now that he’s around. Mama’s always telling me things like “be gentle,” “use a quiet voice,” “don’t push the swing when baby brother is sleeping,” and “he doesn’t like it when you stick your finger up his nose.” Sheesh! What’s a girl gotta do to have some fun around here? And I’m pretty sure that my Baby Bro would love me to sing loudly as I push him “big high” in the swing…all while picking his nose for him!
Anyhoo, we’ve done lots of fun things over the summer. One of my favorite days was when we went to a July 4th party with my best pal, Mini Mug, and his family. It was so fun (and hot!)!
There were balloons…
Yummy treats galore…
A fire truck that we got to explore (I’m pretty sure that my pal and I would be awesome fire fighters)…
And a stars and stripes parade!
Sweet wheels, huh? The car is not mine, but being the assertive Little Lady that I am, I took it upon myself to give it a whirl. And can you blame me?! I look GOOD!
In case you were wondering, the Little Mister was there too. He was only a few weeks old then, so he spent the afternoon snoozin’ in his stroller.
Now for all of you who are worried that the Little Sleeper got the short end of the stick, while we partied it up with cotton candy, snow cones, games, parades, and more, let me put you at ease. We may have had a great time, but he got to kick back and enjoy a little R&R while we (i.e. Mama) pushed him around and sweated it out in the hot, hot North Carolina sun.
Little Mister: “Chumps!”
Yeah, he’s a smart Little One. I’m gonna have to keep my eye on him…
We hope you all had a Happy 4th of July! And a fun summer, too!
P.S. We all must have been lookin’ good that day, because a reporter pulled Daddy aside to ask him about the festivities. I’m not sure what Daddy told the guy, but I’m a little worried that he doesn’t know who we are! …Or that reporter-guy is a little bit lazy with his note-taking skills. Either way, check out the link to see what I mean…
Great pictures and a wonderful story line. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Love you all.
Oh, my, in the newspaper article, Annabelle was two years older! How did that work out for you?! Despite that error, it was NOT a mistake to take them to the parade. You were building memories (and pictures) for the rest of us. Love to all, Martha & Jeff
