Happy Birthday Lulu!

Lulu, one of Mia's classmates and good friends, recently celebrated her third birthday! We all got together at Texas Jumpling Bean...a super fab inflatable jumping place. It was soooo much fun. Mia and her friends were just running around...in and out of inflatables. Mia was so brave and independent. Which worked out nicely for me...super pregnant mama got to sit in a chair and watch her have a ball. Lulu's mama made an awesome Ariel cake that I had a hard time keeping Mia from. The kids waited so patiently for their turn at the Ariel piñata, but were soooo ready for all its loot! As we were leaving, Mia noticed a face painter had set up a table...a few minutes later, Mia was a kitty...covered in glitter! :) She loved it and looking at herself so much. I felt bad that it was time for nap when we got home...the kitty face was all over her pillowcase when she woke up.

Mia Says

One last shot from the Fairy Festival....Mia had just realized that my polarizing filter makes the perfect mirror....she's never looked that deeply into my camera before, and I just LOVE it!

Yesterday, we were stopped at a traffic light:
'Mama, see that tree right there?'
yes ( it was a random HUGE oak tree)
'I growed it all by myself...from a seed'

Later...we were almost home:
'Mama, look at that b-e-a-utiful sky'
It is so very beautiful, Mia
'I painted it blue....with my Ita'
You painted a picture of the sky?
'no, I painted the SKY...with my ITA and a paint brush'

'mama want to jump on my trampoline?....um, noooo you can break it....your belly is very very very big' (I'm also 36 weeks pregnant) :)

'mama, may I have a snack?'
Sure
'ok, I'll get it from the treepan' (pantry)

While handing me a box that had been delivered:
'mama, now we are married'
who's married?
'YOU and MEEEE....I gave you a present...we're married now'

Mia was trying to sneak a bowl of snacks from the table to the living room:
'Don't tell me, Mama'
don't tell you what?
'Don't tell me to eat my snack at the table'
ok, but if I don't tell you, will you tell yourself?
'ummmm ok....Mia, eat your snack at the table'
and she did :)

(Daryl told me this one...along with, "you know you're a daddy to a GIRL when....")
Daddy and Mia in car coming back from airport. they were both quiet for a while:
'daddy?'
Yes, Mia
'what are you thinking about?'

Fairy Kitty

Daryl and I took our little fairy out to the Greenwood School Spring Fairy Festival yesterday....I'll post more later...this is about our facepainted Fariy Kitty, who couldn't get enough of herself :)
