Loose Ends
We're about to leave to pick Grandma up at the airport, so I thought I'd get us up to date on the blog before starting a weekend of photo ops. Here is Georgia, after school on the day when she was supposed to dress "mismatched." So she wore her Belle costume over her purple dress. Natch.

Georgiaisms
This morning when she got out of bed, Georgia said, "I'm getting married!"
I asked her who she was marrying and she said, "Just me." She also said she will wear a purple dress.
Later, before leaving for school with daddy and Sophie, I asked her what it means to be married. She said, "It means you be nice."

Sophie's Suit
Here is Sophie in her fuzzy-warm suit from Aunt Ruby in Missouri. She was the talk of church in her adorable outfit - particularly because she was dressed appropriately for a chilly day that started off with actual snow on the ground.
Slumber Party Again!
Georgia enjoyed a lovely slumber party at Henry's on Saturday night. She actually arrived in time for nap that afternoon. Here's his mom's text about her wake up: "Told Henry to go in quietly and gently see if Georgia was awake. He goes in, throws open the curtains and says, not in the most gentle way, 'Georgia your face is all red!' Nice."
After nap, they bundled into the wagon for a nature walk!
Here is Georgia, wearing Henry's old frog boots. These boots are EXACTLY like the frog boots I bought her, the ones she has never once been willing to wear outside of the house.
The next morning they had pancakes and G got a morning hug.
One story from that night (I'm probably getting some of this wrong):
Henry: Georgia, where are your trucks?
Georgia: I don't have trucks, I have princesses.

Daddy's Big Birthday
Daddy celebrated his 40th birthday on Saturday, but due to location issues, our family celebration was tabled until Sunday. Georgia was thrilled with the cake options.
Bathtime was necessary last night.
She also was quite gracious when it came time for daddy to open his gifts.
A few weeks ago I asked G what she wanted to get daddy for his birthday. Without hesitation, she said, "A fireman's hat." That was the end of the discussion.
Daddy was touched by the faith she had in him.
He also wore the hat around the house, like a good fireman should.

G and Daddy Baseball Preview
Georgia and Daddy left the house early early today (even though it is his birthday!) so they could bid on dates for baseball tickets this season. Georgia has done this in the past, but wow was she excited this time! They had French toast and got all the games they wanted. G will attend her first one a week from Sunday - so stay tuned for more happy photos!

Sophie and My Pedicure
First pedicure of the season! Sophie was playing with my toes (clean toes, I promise) and was getting pretty excited.
Later, some cuddling with Daddy.
Here you can see how hard she's working to use that left hand.

New Stroller
A wonderful friend has given us his family's double stroller now that his girls are too big for it. We were thrilled when Daddy brought it home last night.
G has been spending lots of time in the stroller - she likes to take her milk while sitting in the backseat.
Here's what Sophie was doing when G was getting to know the stroller.
We sure do love the hand-me-down gifts around here!
For Grandma, here's a shot of the famous monkey that she likes to watch move back and forth (there's a monkey on each side of the arc).

Sharing Our Toys
Georgia hosted friends Estevinho and Madeline yesterday for breakfast and - gasp - actually SHARED HER TOYS with them!
The three actually sat and played in the toy area while the parents drank coffee! I had dreamed that this day might come...but it was more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. Um, look at this face! She is too beautiful!
When I asked the kids to look at the camera, Estevinho and Madeline looked right up. Georgia, as KK would say, gave me the biscuit. Hopefully they will come back soon so we can get more pictures!

Friday in the Park with LilyJ
We had a rough week re: Georgia's health (and ER trip because of an infected thumb, stomach upset, associated moodiness). So Friday's promised trip to the park with LilyJ took on mythic proportions. We were lucky the place was empty when we first arrived. G had her pick of vehicles.
The girls enjoyed their time alone, before the hoards of kids showed up.
A little fender bender?
We brought our stash of sidewalk chalk and shared with all the kids.
G likes purple - surprised?
Sophie slept the entire time we were out - shocking. This allowed us some quality time on the swings.

Her TV
Daddy has taken to calling this bouncer Sophie's "TV" because she will sit and watch that darned monkey move from side to side for 20 minutes at a time. Yes, the song is about as annoying as you might imagine, but totally worth it.
Nothing Cuter...
There is nothing cuter than a kid in a sleepsack.
It really helps if the kid is Sophie, though.
She's 12 weeks old this week and apparently has no more need of the swaddle to sleep. Good thing, she's getting too big for all of our swaddle blankets anyway!
I promise, she actually is just as soft and hugable as she looks.
Don't believe me?
You should come visit and see for yourself. But I'd hurry. She just might outgrow this sleepsack within the month.

Library Party!
The library nearest to us has been under construction for the last year and a half. Last Saturday they had a grand opening party and Georgia was thrilled with the upstairs kid room.
They had an art project (completely not age-appropriate, but whatever) that had them painting cherry blossoms.
We got there early enough to have a seat, but by the time we left it was complete pandemonium.
G liked holding her cherry blossom. We checked out three books and I have had to argue with her about sleeping with them nearly every night since. The library book concept hasn't exactly lodged in her brain just yet.

Flo Turns 3
Flo's birthday party last weekend was quite a test for Georgia. She decorated a present and then had to give it to someone else. Here she is watching the birthday girl open it.
Then Georgia played with Flo's new modular dollhouse - supersmart for small spaces!
Upstairs the girls had a musical instrument party - a common occurrence around their house.
Explain this: how is it Flo's birthday...
...and yet Georgia's the one in the tiara?
Sophie slept through most of the event - as usual!
