Princess party

I adore SG's friends!! Wish they'd all stand still for pics, but this was the most I could ask (beg!!) of them.

Our little Spider-Man had fun too!

Front yard play

Up and down the street while I drink coffee. Love.

SG's new haircut in a ballet bun

SG got a haircut. (Sniff sniff SOB!!!)

I didn't take before afters. It's too painful. I hate cutting her hair.

But it's gotten so long and stringy, I'm hoping the cut will help it thicken up.

Anyways, omg, I couldn't not work the bun hair contraption thing for ballet! Seriously took me like 30 min.

She loves it though. Loves the hair brushing. Loves the hair doing. Loves the hair accessories. Loves the attention from mama. Loves it all. And, of course, I do too. It's pretty much my dream come true to be brushing my baby girl's hair. And I hope one day I'm teasing it up for a cheer competition. :)

Trampoline

One minute, they're like "weee!" And "yay!" And squeals and laughs.

And then I walked inside and we heard Asher crying. But then it was dinner and cleanup. And then Brian was all, "Something is wring with Asher." And I'm all, "yeah, he didn't get a nap so he's probably fussy." And then Asher tried to walk towards us and his leg just kept collapsing under him. So he crawled. And then we knew something was definitely wrong!

Children's was a mess of flu patients. (Nooooo!!)

So we left and got X-rays at a local urgent care. They didn't see anything, and we are supposed to wait until Thursday to see if he's still limping.

The dr at urgent care, although extremely sweet and nice and helpful (so sweet!), had no clue how to do the X-ray machine. They lucked out that Asher is the coolest kid (everrrr) and let them move him all around like a pretzel, patiently waiting for them in strange positions while they tried to figure out the machine.

He does this thing where he says "thank you" when a dr does something to him, even painful things like shots. It melts every dr heart out there. Bless his sweet little heart. So after each odd contortion of his body when they'd let him rest for a sec, he'd sweetly thank them. Love him.

We basically spent today on the couch watching cartoons and movies.

Anyways, he's still limping. I can't bring him to school like this (boo! I'm spoiled! I have appts tomorrow! I'm signed up to volunteer!), so he's going to be my buddy. Good thing he's cute. :)

Family movie night

It's definitely one of our family favorites.

This night we watched Neverending Story. Seeing now, as an adult, I realize I didn't totally get it as a kid. Like, at all. But it was cute. And SG loved the necklace on the flying dog (most random fav part of a movie). Asher likes all movies. For being two, he's a pretty awesome movie watcher. Zach probably loved it the most.
