field trip

We got to go with Sweetpea and her Kindergarten class on a Field Trip today. It was awesome. I have to admit I was kind of partial to another refuge before today, but my mind was changed and this one was just as awesome. It was a great way to spend the morning. I am was impressed with all the animals and even more impressed with my little girl. She is such a good listener and so easy to take places.

pretend

She does and says the funniest things. She likes to put things on her head like this coat or a blanket and then she tell me she is "Mary." (eating beef jerky) I am so lucky that she comes in almost every morning and cuddles with me in bed. Usually she looks for her daddy's phone or ipad so she can watch cartoons and cuddle, but lately daddy has been hiding them. It's amazing how good kids are with electronics.

my beautiful butterflies

There seems to be butterflies all over these last few weeks. Sweetepa had several in her kindergarten class and they learned all about Caterpillars turning into butterflies. She even did a fabulous modern dance for me me and Sweetheart one afternoon. She started as a larva and turned into a Caterpillar then into a chrysalis and finally a  beautiful butterfly. Oh how I wish I would have videoed it. We went to a festival this weekend and they got to have their faces painted. I always wanted to get my face painted when I was younger so I was totally when they asked.

some girl

Ok, I've written thought of a whole bunch of sarcastic and funny things to write, but it just doesn't work. I think this is the most fun I have ever had taking pictures. I literally could have posted over 100 pictures. There were sooooooooooooooo many great shots of this beautiful girl AND I barely did any editing (and all my shots were in focus....I LOVE MY CAMERA AND A SUBJECT THAT HOLDS STILL). It was a dream come true, HEAVEN! I really, really, really like this girl. I should have brought a step stool because she's almost a foot taller than me, wait how did I get a niece that tall? Booger. I seriously can't say enough wonderful things about this girl so I won't even start because I would be typing for hours. Ok, one thing, she really is this beautiful, everything about her is beautiful (except her brother, he's a real weirdo, pretty cute, but super duper weird).
