Busy Bees

So, life around here has been pretty busy. I finally have some time to update you all on our happenings. We have been slowly getting our house put together and enjoying some time outside since it is finally beginning to cool down.

These days one of Meghan's favorite things to do is read. She has four favorite books that we read multiple times a day. She can even call them by name. She is also starting to read to herself. It's really just gibberish but she is doing it while turning the pages, which she turns in the correct direction.

This weekend we went to Oktoberfest with our friends. I was trying to get Meghan and her friend Katelyn to both look at the camera. This is the best I could get. Meghan had a great time petting animals and dancing to the Polka.

Another one of Meghan's favorite things to do is "cook". She pushes her chair over to the counter and gets out the measuring cups and spoons. She then puts her concoctions in the toaster oven (don't worry, it isn't plugged in). I think we may need to get her a play kitchen.

The little Diva. Even though you can't see them she is trying to show off her toenails that are the same color as her tutu. She'll tell you they are "Pree", aka pretty.

Projects

Meghan, sporting her cat shirt tonight. Kevin's parents brought it back from their trip to Greece.

It seems like our weekends lately are filled with projects. Last weekends project was this:

It was a desk for Kevin's office that came in about a hundred pieces. Meghan helped but then crashed on the couch (see above).

What will be our project for this weekend.....?

Seeing Yellow

Last weekend my project was to paint Meghan's room a yellow that matched her bedding. It was baby blue when we moved in.

Three coats of paint later you can still see the blue popping through. It looks much better now that it is dry but it still isn't perfect. I think it is the texture on the wall that made it hard to cover.

This is what Meghan does if you ask her to strike a pose.

Of course she has to ham it up for the camera.

These Boots Were Made for Walkin'

Target had these cute brown Ugg type boots last year. I really wanted a pair for Meghan but they sold out too fast. Even though it is still in the 90's here I bought them today for her. She saw them, said "Booo" for boots, put them on, and then did a few laps around the house.

I wanted to take a picture of her wearing the boots. She kept running over to me to see the picture and then running back to "pose". This one was by far the funniest. It shows her sassy personality.

Little Lawbreaker

Meghan, a child of the technology age, loves her daddy's work phone. If she sees it, she has to have it to play with. Kevin is scared that she will call one of his clients. Turning it onto "airplane mode" doesn't always work. Tonight she took the phone and drove her car around our house while texting. That can get you a big fine in Texas.
