Fairy pics of AB

AB’s day care provider needed a personal day today, so AB stayed with my friend DeAnn (whose daughter AE is AB’s BFF. So decree the Mommies.)

DeAnn took some gorgeous pictures of AB in a fairy costume while AE napped on. See them here.

BTW, I know my blog layout is wonked; sorry if you’re having trouble reading this. I’m going to try to fix it later tonight when I have a little free* time.

(* Translation of “free”: I should be asleep, but I just need to do this one thing…! Just one more thing…!)

Pic: AB in the dirt

Here’s our favorite picture from yesterday. Mind, this was after she had gone through every single outfit we brought along with us. Yes, she had a blast.

Several relatives made comparisons between AB and a young me. (I was a big dirt-player. Tomboy to the core.) Dad said in his email with the pictures:

(AB) was a hit but we knew she would be. She’s so adorable. Watching her reminds me so much of you at that age. She might look like Joe but she acts like you.

Poor baby. :P

Oh, and PS: Note the formerly pretty, formerly white shoes which were - until yesterday - her dressy shoes. Shopping, anyone?

Video: AB playing in the dirt

We’re still waiting for pics, but here’s a low-res video Joey took on his camera phone yesterday.

Today…

…was spent with extended family at a reunion. We’re exhausted, but it was good to see people I only see once or twice a year.

AB spent the entire day playing in the dirt with distantly-related cousins. She went through four outfits and two baths during the course of the day. Who could’ve known I should have packed a week’s worth of clothes? And why did we waste our time packing a big bag of toys that she ended up not touching? Dirt, plastic spoons, plastic cups. What more does a child need? :P As soon as my dad sends me the pics he took, I will post some. AB covered in dirt from head to toe is super cute.

I am so damn exhausted. Did I mention that?

Tuesday after work, we will leave to spend 5 days in Alabama with J’s family. I haven’t packed the first thing, most of the clothes we’ll need are currently dirty, and I have class and a quiz Monday night. So, tomorrow we will spend the entire day doing laundry and cleaning and packing. OMGFUN!!! :/Oh, and studying because I am SO not ready for that quiz.

So, Samantha, you wanna get together for lunch while we’re visiting J’s fam? We’re gonna be 15 minutes from Pensacola. I bet AB would love to meet her Auntie Samantha in the flesh. I know I would. :)
