Coloring Table

In an attempt to keep the crayons a bit more contained, I picked Noelle up a table and a few decals of her favorite people!

More Pittsburgh Pics

I love this pic of Great Grandpa and Noey! They were into coloring!

What was I thinking buying a red lolly?

Noey Screams for Ice Cream!

That's my girl!

A Thank You Note

From my butt to Office Max, thank you. This chair was $60 but I got it for $24 due to school sales and teacher discounts! I am kissing that folding chair good-bye!

Who is that little boy?

Noelle picked out some new jammies at Wal-Mart. They were in the boys section. We came home and put them on and she was livid that Toy Story was not appearing on the TV screen as quickly as she wanted!

Ahhhh...Toy Story is on. All is right with the world. She still looks like a boy.

We had lunch at BK and Dave indulged in a bacon sundae. I'll take his word that it was good. Noey liked it.

We wanted to go see Toy Story under the stars but it was too hot this weekend. We watched it at home as a family. Dave and Noelle had fun with wipes while watching.

Here we are playing Angry Birds on a lazy weekend morning.

Dance!

Noey will be starting dance class in just a few weeks! She will be taking creative movement and tiny tappers!!! We went to an open house today and met her teacher, Miss Pamela Ann! She is a star here in Vegas and is originally from Akron! The best picture my kid has taken in months is of course with a stranger!

Miss Pamela did some twirls with Noey and had her jump over spots on the floor. We are still working on jumping! We went right out and got an outfit, tights, and SHOES!

Modeling her new outfit!

Noey is in the 18 month to 3 year group. We have two shows a year, one at Christmas and one in the spring. Her classes are 45 minutes long on Thursday afternoons. Wish us luck! This is gonna be crazy!

New Things

It has been an expensive summer! We got the security bars and screens for the entire downstairs, our microwave kicked the bucket (again), we got a new security door for the front, the AC upstairs died, the Jeep AC went, and the van AC is most likely in need of a new compressor. I'm going to start offering my eggs and plasma as payment for services. Ugh! But here is our new beautiful front door. I talked Dave into doing something different then all the other security doors around. Nothing makes homes unique around here so I thought we should do something fun. Plus, I like how the cactus looks like a middle finger to the neighbors. :)

And our new microwave. Something was obviously seriously wrong with the model we had for it to go twice in it's 8 year lifetime. It was just fixed 6 months or so ago and the part cost as much as a new microwave! So this time I said we should just get a new one and went with stainless since that is what we want everything to be...eventually. I am not loving the finger prints. Didn't even think about that!!!

Got Crayons?

Do you think she has enough?

Water Play

The museum also had a big water area for the kids to mess around in. Love how they look like Gorton's Fishermen!

Aunt Em's Farm

The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh was having a special Wizard of Oz exhibit while we were there so we had to check it out! Noey was a regular old farmer!
