A Lazy Weekend

The weather this past weekend was fantastic. Mid 70s and no humidity is not common the later in spring we get. To enjoy the weather, we went to our friends' for a pool party. Our friends had found a turtle crossing their driveway earlier in the day and thought it would be neat to "cage" it for a little while and let the little kids look at it. Needless to say, Meghan was enamored with turtle. Kevin has already vetoed that pet idea.

Meghan is fearless. She has no problem jumping into the pool and splashing around. She will be taking swim lesson this summer and I am glad she is not scared of the water. Kevin got a good workout in the pool because Meghan liked being thrown into the air and splashing down into the pool.

Since Kevin works from home, he gets a lot of product samples and sales materials sent to the house. He keeps them in a corner of his office, but Meghan always likes to look through and get into the boxes. She likes to make a mess of her daddy's stuff.

Summer's Almost Here

Meghan is most definitely full of personality and creativity. The things she does amaze me. Her actions have become so deliberate and her intentions are so sweet and caring. When you cough she asks if you are okay. She uses her manners, always saying please, thank you, you're welcome, and excuse me. Her imagination comes out in the way she plays. She will make you play-doh food and then tell you not to eat it because it is just pretend. She will play with her baby doll in the most gentle way. Sometimes she is a dinosaur and sometimes a ballerina, occasionally she is the tooth fairy. I love this stage because Meghan is so playful and is now playing with instead of along side. When she wants to veg out and watch TV she likes to find creative ways to relax. Hence the above picture. She pulled out the laundry basket and sat in it but then decided she needed her blanket and pillow too.

Summer is here. Well not the season, but the Texas heat is here for sure. Meghan put on her swimsuit to play in the water table yesterday. She was so helpful and cleaned it out with me before we filled it with water. I don't want to jinx myself but it looks like she'll actually keep her hat and sunglasses on this summer.

I find this picture amusing because she was so serious about pouring the water. Meanwhile, it is all spilling out of the bottom.

No more baby swing. Meghan is now swinging on the big swing all by herself. She is growing up too fast!!
