"Innocence" is Bliss

Me looking in the rear view mirror driving today:

Mommy: Ann Charlotte please stop picking your nose.
Ann Charlotte: But why Mommy? I love picking my nose!

"Innocence" is bliss! (the other is too!)

Spring Break Then and Now

Then:                     Now:
Beach                                           Indoor Pool
Best Friends                               Amazing Family
Late Nights                                  Early Mornings
Parties                                          Playgrounds
Baby Oil                                       Sunscreen
Bikini                                            Swim dress and cover up


I wouldn't trade it for anything!

We didn't have any travel plans and a blank calendar for the week so Ann Charlotte and I met Acey in Florence, Alabama for some R and R.  Random, I know!  But, we wanted a hotel with an indoor pool and didn't want a long drive.

It was bliss!

Run, Run, as Fast as You Can...

One of our favorite books is The Gingerbread Man.   Anytime Ann Charlotte is running or wants to play chase she says..."Run, run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man." 

So about a week ago I told her that we would make a gingerbread man the next day that it rained (we had all of the supplies left over from Christmas and they were about to expire).  She woke up this morning and as soon as she looked outside she asked when we were making the "snowman."  She was a little confused but I knew what she was asking for.
So that is what we did first thing in the morning.   Meet Ginny the Gingerbread Woman....

Then just like the sneaky, sly fox we gobbled it up!  Yummy!

We Get By...

With a little help from our friends...

Ann Charlotte and her buddy William Warmath

What is that Mommy?

I could not help but laugh...

Ann Charlotte:  Mommy, what is that?

Mommy:  What is what bug? (bug is one of her many nicknames)

Ann Charlotte:  That thing with a red and a blue eye?

Mommy:  What? (confused and wondering if she was seeing things in my bedroom like an imaginary friend, etc.)

Ann Charlotte:  That thing...

Obviously, I don't use it often enough!

Princess Ann Charlotte

Wow, they grow up fast!  Ann Charlotte is really into "princesses" these days.   I think since her JuJu and her Granddaddy have both been royalty that she is in line for the throne!  (She certainly thinks so!)
