2012…March Came In Like A Lamb & Went Out Like A Lion !

Posted on March 30, 2012 by lksquared

It’s not even that cold here, but compared to last week it is relatively frigid! Last week was H O T up here…we went to the park with Cousins S & A, and of course Auntie H & Gramma too. The girls had a blast as always, and shockingly, no one came home with a sunburn!

Apparently…these ballet flats are not meant for running around a park. She was missing 1 shoe the entire time. Pick your battles…

Oh the vomit wheel! Gramma’s favorite park ride!

These girls adore each other…

How sweet do they look?!?!

And as Mister LK knows…its not a trip to the park in the hot weather without a visit from the Mr. Softee Man!

Who needs a spoon?!?!

Yes…it is down to 50 degrees from 80…and it feels freezing…but we’ve been super lucky with the weather this winter & I’m hoping our summer is equally as mild. I’m not into sweating…

One of the greatest sounds on earth…

My daughter laughing!

It’s intoxicating & I can’t get enough of it. The crying however, I would give that up in a second!

Happy Thursday 🙂

A And Her Dinosaur Tree…

Posted on March 28, 2012 by lksquared

A has a really amazing imagination. She walks around all day singing and dancing to the music in her head. She’s constantly having conversations about something with her stuffed toys and she’s always laughing at something!

The other day we were enjoying the weather on our front lawn and she was playing catch with me…

She was so happy!

She was on the hunt…

She was a little nervous…

She found something!!!!

Everyone…meet A’s neighbor…her dinosaur!

She was completely convinced that this was a dinosaur. She kept saying “Mommy Mommy…look dinosaur!!!” It was so freakin’ adorable. She wouldn’t touch it until I did…and when she did she said “Nice dinosaur!” They are now friends 🙂

Who’s The Boss?

Posted on March 27, 2012 by lksquared

Around here? A is. Hands down, no questions asked, unequivocably, A is the master of our universe. At least that is what she believes with every ounce of her being! She is usually executing some type of command on me at home, or out, or anywhere she wants really, but she up’d her game recently when we visited Mister LK at his office. She took her bossiness to a whole new level!

Auntie Sh + J 4Eva

Auntie Sh got engaged last week & we got to see the main event! We went to the Bryant Park Grill to wait with the family & watch…then have a nice lunch! A entertained many restaurant patrons that day by running from table to table giving them a singing and dancing show! I wish I had gotten that on video…but I didn’t and she’ll have to rely on my memory for this one! (So I’m documenting it here!)

Auntie Sh + J look very happy & we wish them the best of everything!

Blondes DO Have Lots Of Fun!

Posted on March 25, 2012 by lksquared

The weather has been really amazing…and there has been no excuse not to get outside and to the park lately. Going with friends is always better! Our friend O came with us last week & we had a blast! Check out this blonde, blue eyed lady!

I love this girl's brooding face!!!

A had a blast at the park with O…thanks for spending the day with us!

Happy Thursday 🙂

I do love my little munchkin! She gives the best kisses!

Now…for all the Mommies out there that are readers and not faint of heart…go out and get (an electronic copy) of Fifty Shades of Grey. Make sure you have lots of things to entertain your kids with, for you will need about 3-4 days to get through the series. If you’re like me…or my friends…or any woman I know really…

Be ready to blush. A lot. But the story is addictive…

If you are a relative of mine…don’t read the book…please.

Have a wonderful Thursday! We are off to see our wonderful friends the R’s today…can’t wait to come back with pictures!

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

We visited Grampa at his office the other day…A worked very hard. She made drawings all over his desk, answered the phone when no one was calling, and of course we went out to lunch! she loved sitting at the big desk and giving orders. The girl was born to be the boss…what can I say?!

The Power of Prayer…

Posted on March 19, 2012 by lksquared

What do you think a 22 month old prays for?

Maybe she’s praying for longer hair so she looks more like a girl!

I’m praying for patience! Apparently and NOT surprisingly, she was a real angel with Grandma and Auntie H this weekend. Playing nicely, being funny, letting them change her diaper without kicking them in the face…you know…all the behaviors she saves for everyone EXCEPT her Mommy.

She just thinks it is funny to torture me! It’s ok though…I love her anyway…and I hope she is praying for that long hair AND my sanity!

So Hard To Say Goodbye…

Our last day in Buffalo Grove was a beautiful day! Very different than our first freezing windy day, it was sunny and warm and the perfect day to play in the grass! And that is exactly what we did!
