31 came and went...

But not without some gorgeous spring skiing and lots of fun. What is missing from these pictures you might say to yourself?

I do not see children present...either set that belongs to Summer or me. They were having fun with the daddy's and the mommy's got to enjoy this....





Although we missed our adorable children, Summer and I enjoyed our rather, quick, complain-free, when you stop to go to the bathroom..that is really all you do, car ride. Not to mention eating at a place called The Chocolate Bar in Northstar village where we really focused on the dessert rather than the main meal and we were okay with that. Chocolate and skiing compliment each other well.

Was this gift designed just for my daughter?

Genius I tell you! Oh the joy this gift has given Lilly. Right on toymakers, you got this one right! I think she played with this for 45 minutes straight the first time we opened it, and it just keeps on entertaining.





I personally enjoy how Lilly cleans up after the dogs in the sand. The doggie sandbox comes with a pooper scooper too, so I would venture to say that Lilly's favorite activity with the dogs is cleaning up after them, "mommy, I need to clean up this stinky poop right here"

Let's hope this applies when we get a real dog one day. You know what though, I think it really will. She is obsessed with poop.

Girls Night Out

I wish I had more photos to post, but the curse of the dead battery follows me everywhere. Lilly and I had a very special night out to see the Moscow Circus at the Wells Fargo Center this week(notice LIlly holding the tickets in her hand).

**SIDE NOTE It's funny because when we got home and the kids were upstairs dreaming, Todd and I compared notes of our evenings and we kept going back to the idea of how much the kids enjoyed having one on one time with us. Lilly and Drew just know that they have our undivided attention and what a special feeling it must be for them. Anyway...Todd and Drew played crash game and tickle monster all night. But this is about the girls night out.

Well, Lilly was captivated for the first solid 40 minutes...where the entire 40 minutes she had her hands covering her ears and she was yelling things like, "this music is really really loud" The only time she would take her hands down from her ears was to clap when the rest of the audience clapped. She was a very exuberant clapper.

Lilly's quotes were worth the price of admission. Many chuckles around Lilly that night. Just to highlight some quotes:

Please take into consideration that all of these quotes were loudly spoken and could be heard in a diameter of 5 people in front and to the side of us easily

"Good Job Girl!!!," when a small (long-haired, but small bodied) male russian acrobat was performing. Followed by whole body clapping.

" Oops...I just toot. Peee uwwwww Mommy. Stinky." followed by an excuse me at the top of her lungs

"I have to go poo-poo Mommy" followed by an immediate exit

"She has One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eighteen, hoola hoops on the body..WOW...WOW"

"I really really hungry...really really. I like, I like, I like PIZZA." then proceeding to turn around to face her neighbor in the row behind us and ask for some cheese.


There were more that I am forgetting, but those made the people sitting in row J get a giggle. We did get to go out to ice cream and Lilly slammed down an an adult scoop in 2 minutes 36 seconds flat without ever getting brain freeze(and least she did not lead on that she did)

Making her mommy proud.

I look forward to many more girls night out with my Lilly. I love my Lilly.
