Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, E and I went to the parade that took place in my hometown.  Here is a pic of my elegant, poised daughter sitting curbside waiting for the parade to start... ;)

After the parade we went to Dunkin Donuts, where E enjoyed a chocolate covered doughtnut.  Yum!

Later, we went to a friend's houe, where E discovered the wonders of the Kindle.  Now E says at every oppurtunity, "I wish I had a Kindle...." 

Back home before dinner, E spent a little time at the pool, her very favorite activity :)

All in all it was a great day, and a great long weekend!

*In late breaking news, last night, E lost her second tooth!!  She was very excited for another visit from the tooth fairy:)

Summer is here- yay!!!

The pool at our apartment complex opened this weekend, much to Elizabeth's delight.  I'm pretty

 psyched, too.  We love summer :)   Although it was quite warm outside, the pool was a little chilly for me, but Miss E didn't mind at all...

On Saturday morning, we went to a birthday party of one of E's classmates.  It was held at a train museum that we'd never been to.  It was very cool! 

My little firefighter

Yesterday, Elizabeth's preschool class visited a nearby fire station.  E thought it was  very cool that each of the kids got their own hats...:) Please excuse the cheesy grin, I asked her to smile and this is what I got...

E's teacher just emailed a couple of pics, thought I'd share them :)

Saturday

Such a fun day today!  This morning we had a playdate/picnic at the park with some of E's school friends.  It was a gorgous day, sunny in the mid 70's... :)

 This afternoon, E had her last swimming lesson for this session.  My awesome sister bought her these lessons for Christmas.  Thank you, Aunt Betsy! 

 My hometown has a Fair every year which I always remember going to as a kid.  It's been a lot of fun to share it with my daughter last year, and now this year.  Tonight, we met up with our buddies Misty and Paden and had the best time!  Turns out my girl loves roller coasters, who knew?! 

Bungy jumping!

E is all about jumping, she LOVED this!

It has been a long, busy, fun day.  E is passed out in bed, and that's where I'm headed now, too...:)

Mother's Day 2012

We had a busy, fun Mother's Day.  We spent most of the day hanging out with our fiends Maria, Megan and Brianna.  Then we went to my Mom's at night for a delicious dinner :)

Quick video clip

I was thinking it's been forever since I've done any video of Miss E, so here is just a quick clip of her singing a song she learned at school :)  I'll try to do more videos of her soon.

Pictures from the weekend

We had a fun weekend.  Sorry, these pics are a little mixed up.  Today we went to a friend's preschool's school fair, which was great.  E got to ride a pony, play some games, and her favorite thing...go in a bouncy house!  I think E would be happy if our whole apartment was just one big bouncy house.  My girl loves to jump...Afterward, we hung out at our friends' house, watched a movie and had some dinner.  E had so much fun, and she was not happy when we had to leave.   Saying good bye after play dates continues to be a bit of a struggle for her.  It's not fun to be the mom who has to drag her sobbing child out of people's houses after play dates and birthday parties...sigh...
But aside from that issue, usually Miss E is like this...silly!

My goofy girl :)
