Nap time = Play time

So on any given day Landree may or may not take a nap, but she rests in her room none the less. I figure if you can take a 2-3 hour nap then you still need to rest and it gives me a break to be online, work, catch up on a little rest, or have a little time alone with Hudson.

Yesterday, I could hear Landree talking for about the first hour of her rest time and then she was really quite so after another hour I went in to wake her up. I opened the door and found her like this:

That’s a turtle neck that she has only one arm in along with just about every piece of jewelry she owns. Oh and her mittens and toboggan too, you know, to keep her warm…

Landree Grace, you are such a sweet girl with such a wonderful imagination. You are such a joy to be around. I love you!

Hollywood...

Check her out...isn't she cute? She has a style of her own, and opinion about mine too...on the way to church yesterday I hadn't put my jewelry on yet. I had a few necklaces in the car (I have a tendency of taking them off as soon as I get into the car-so I had a few to choose from.) I put on a turquoise necklace and asked Landree if she liked it. She loves necklaces! Well, she said "No like Mommy, no like. Pink necklace!" She has pretty good taste...so I wore the pink one.

And look at this close up of those upside down sunglasses...and that hair! This was after our nap one afternoon this week.

Week in Review...

Wow, long time no blog. I haven't posted in forever. Here are a few highlights from our week:

On Friday Landree and I went to the zoo with our friends Tricia and Caleb. They had a great time walking around and seeing all the animals. It was a beautiful day! Spring is definitely in full bloom! There was pollen floating on top of the bears pool that like pollution! YUCK!

Modeling their shades!

On Saturday Landree and I went to My Gym. They've reopened! Unfortunately, we aren't going to be going back until the fall. The class times have changed a little bit and don't fit into our schedule...for now at least. I will be excited to get Landree re-enrolled this fall. We plan to keep busy this summer with swimming lessons, pool play dates, trips to the zoo, and park. We'll have plenty to do.

We also got a new basketball goal on Saturday. Landree loves basketball! (Thanks to our ball obsessed friends Cooper and Jackson.) We played outside a little today (in the pollen).

Sad news...Landree started taking Zyrtec today. She has eczema and it's really flared up with...the pollen. (I should change the name of the post to POLLEN!) I didn't really want her to have to take medicine, but her spots were just getting worse and she was scratching uncontrollably. The doctor gave us a 'foam' steroid to help with the itching and an antihistamine to help with her allergies. So sad...she was doomed from the start. Jeff has the worst allergies of anyone I've every met and I have them too. Hopefully, we'll be able to take her off the medicine soon.

This morning Logan came over while his mom went to the doctor. Traci brought him a pancake for breakfast. Logan was so sweet to share...since Landree was helping her self anyway. I love this picture. They also ate blueberry muffins, yogurt, blueberries, and grapes!

Not everyone likes the Backyardigans I guess..."Mom, what's the matter with Logan? The Backyardigans are on." Logan was actually just sleepy and wanted me to hold him. The kids did great. Cooper comes over on Tuesday's so he joined us shortly after Logan arrived. They had a great time playing with each other.

And probably my favorite picture from the week is below. I think Landree will like playing dress up when she gets older. She already loves shoes and trying them on...these are her house shoes...and of course her sunglasses! She needed them to play!
