Robbie's faces

Robbie and I like to play the 'faces' game. We give each other emotions - happy, tired, angry, bored, cranky, etc. and we have to make faces for them. Here are some cute ones of Duff.

Mommy Daughter night

Last night, Nola and I went on a mommy daughter night. We didn't have any money and I was worried she would not be satisfied since we wouldn't be able to buy anything, but you know what that little darling did?!? She packed each of us an apple and a juice box in her Hello Kitty lunch tin and we went to the mall. Her plans were well thought out - 1st, drive to the mall. 2nd,walk around the mall and look in stores. ONLY look though, because we don't have any moneys. 3rd, find a table to have our snacks.

It was so wonderful! We held hands, jumped, skipped, chatted and laughed. We look at books, jewelry and she was in heaven at Clairs! She said she was ready for her snack, so we went to find a table. She was way too sweet - picking a table, climbing up, opening her tin and sharing the snack. She had spilled a little of her juice so I went to grab some napkins, but she insisted that she could do it. All by her self, she went to New York fries and timidly asked the man who worked there if she could have a napkin. He gave her a little stack and she said 'thank you!' and ran back to our table. I couldn't believe what I saw! It was one of those moments when you realize how grown up your baby is. She is going to be 5 in one month!! I really am so proud of her. How blessed I am to be her mother :)
