To hell & back

July 8, 2008

Ever since we learned that one of the guys on the recent season of Survivor was from the town next to us, and that he worked at the local ice cream shop, we have been meaning to check it out. The ice cream place is in a city called Hell and the shop is decked out like a Halloween store. Mallory got herself some Superman ice cream, and perfected her “more bite” as she inhaled the goods.

This is the sweetest little picture.
I was all ready to put Mallory in the bathtub when Rick got home from …

I am already not a fan of Adid.as

July 8, 2008

This is supposed to be a quiet month work-wise for my husband.
But due to the arrival of about four million pairs of new Adid.as shoes, he is working like a madman.
Argh.

Fireworks!

July 5, 2008

I love having 3-day weekends – we have had so much fun just hanging out. I should say that I like this 3-day weekend – it’s the only holiday that we know for sure that Rick doesn’t have to work.
We spent yesterday on the boat again; we headed to the sandbar and Mallory & Rick hung out and swam and played for a bit. Mallory loves the water and the splashing daddy. :-)

Our lake puts on fireworks every year and we had a few people over to watch the show. Of course, no party would be …

Happy 4th of July!

July 5, 2008

Ok, so it’s not a real original blog post title but oh well.
Our long holiday weekend started off on Thursday. Thanks to some monster storms that blew through Wednesday night, daycare was without power on Thursday. Rick was already scheduled for a vacation day, and had grand plans of biking, kayaking and windsurfing, but they got squashed just like the fence in our back yard did by the storms. And then it got worse for him when I volunteered him for Alli duty too, since Alli’s folks didn’t have anyone to watch her. :-)
The girls got to see each other …

Here is a little video of Mallory doing the alphabet. Well, part of the alphabet.

So not sure what the “cheese” is about in the beginning.

Daycare Beauty Shop

July 2, 2008

Everyone knows my kid has wacky hair. Rick does daycare drop-off and he is unable to do anything but comb it in the mornings. Thank goodness the toddler room ladies like doing baby hair ~ almost every day when I pick Mallory up she has some variation of a ponytail(s) going on. Yesterday it was three baby pigtails – I cannot for the life of me see how they get her to sit still to put those little itty bitty tiny rubber bands in her hair seeing as how I can barely get a barrette in her hair and even …

The babysitter

July 2, 2008

(I just found this draft post…this is from when Rick & I went to a wedding back in April.)
Mallory spent the evening with our friends and their three kids B (6), K (almost 3) & A (almost 1) last night so Rick & I could go to a wedding.
Here are the text messages I received throughout the evening. I was cracking up:
6:24p – Ask RB is he fed Mals while u were gone – 2 turkey dogs, 1 lb watermelon, some pretzels and a piece of cheese…so far. She is very happy!
7:04p – Outside now. She LOVES B. Just …

MIA

July 2, 2008

I feel like I have been neglecting the blog lately, and it’s only been a few days since I last posted (I don’t count copy & pasting an email as a “real” post). Great, another thing to add to my list of things I feel guilty about neglecting. Fabulous.
We are looking forward to the weekend and hope the weather cooperates. I think it’s going to be nice but not too hot. I am hoping we can enjoy some low-key family time. Rick’s free weekends are so few that I want to make sure Mallory can spend as much time with …
