Nanny's

Okay so my favorite place in the whole wide world is my Nanny's. Well and to be more specific it's my Nanny's bed. That's right I have issues. I am 30 years old and up until I had CarLee I slept in her bed with her. It was like a sleep over. We would to to bed and then lay there talking forever. My relationship to this one woman can never be defined. At times she has of course been my Nanny, other times, a mother, a sister, my very best friend and so much more than those things. She is the Nanny. She is the strongest person I know and has dealt with more than one person should ever have to in a life time. So on Saturday we loaded up in the Jeep and drove to my Nanny's house. It restored a sense of balance to my life.

This in my Nanny's room, just a week after being redone. It is very girlie and very beautiful.

This is my great-grandfather's hat, my great grandpa Epstein. My Nanny has kept it in great condition for the last 22 years. It's really hard to believe its been that long. But we have come up with the coolest idea. I am going to dress CarLee up and put this hat on her and my nanny has a child's upright piano and a cool old fashion light and we are gonna take her pictures. It will be a neat tribute to the man and the hat. Oh, and no he could not play the piano.

The Middle of the Week.

It's the middle of the week, and that's me talking to my mommy. Also, while on the phone with my mom, I painted CarLee's Toenails and Fingernails.

We had a good night tonight. I love doing little things like this with CarLee.

The Stool

So we are going to my Nanny's tomorrow, and we never tell CarLee till the day we go. She just gets a little too excited about going. Well, Ms Debbie slipped and told her she was going to see my Nanny (Ms Debbie did this so CarLee would not be sad about missing a b-day party tomorrow). So, when I picked her up all I heard was I wanna go to my Nana's house (and let me just say that up until today CarLee called her Nanny as well). Well I was looking for something to hold my stickles (scrapbooking stuff) and went to AC Moore. While looking for what I wanted CarLee decided that Nana need a stool, then CarLee decided it needed to be purple, and last but not least that it needed sparkles. She picked out 2 shades of purple and then some purple sparkles (I did not help at all). I then got her some foam paint brushes. All the way home she talked about how her and Nana were gonna paint this tomorrow at Nana's house. We were home about hour and she came up to me and said, "I need to paint the stool at my house." So I set everything up and she painted the stool, she did tell me that I had to help. I painted half of the top and filled in her "no" paint areas, but for the most part she did this herself.

See she did a good job.

Dance Class is done.

plain and simple she quit again. So we are done. No more. We were not even there long enough to get a picture. 10 minutes and she stopped following direction, and when the teacher got onto her she started to cry. So we came home. Maybe we will try in a year or two. Happy Friday to everyone.

Tuesday Night

All I can say is CarLee fell in the bath tub and hit her nose. Everything is all good now. I was freakin out last night though. Nose bleeds are bad and horrible. There was blood everywhere. CarLee stopped crying and realized she had blood on her hands (forget the huge amount coming from her nose) and started to freak out because it was on her hands. Then she realized it was on my arm. "Mommy you are bleeding! stop bleeding! Mommy you have a boo-boo!" I then had to tell her no Mommy is not bleeding you are. Once her nose stopped bleeding and I was able to get my heart to beat again, all was good. Needless to say CarLee pretty much got whatever she wanted last night. Oh, and as soon as Lee got home. "Daddy I slipped and fell in the tub, I hurt my nose." There shall never be secrets in this house. Someone told me today, she won't remember it and I will never forget it. I bet she is right on the money with that.

Newborn Photos

Mommy's 1st baby doll with her 1st Baby.

These are just some of the pictures I got to take. I really hope they let me come back and take more. I can go overboard a little. It was a good visit. I think they are adjusting fine. I hope they are all getting rest when they can. She is so adorable.

To be honest Lisa having this baby was a little hard for me. I know its gonna sound silly and a little weird. This made me feel kinda grown up. My oldest friend having a baby, the girl I went to high school with having a baby. I was like holy crud, we are grown ups. I am slightly off and I know that.

But she is a beautiful friend.

Let Us Play Catch Up

On Saturday CarLee and I met up with Beth and went to a craft fair, that was so bad. Then decided to go get Parker and take the kids to McDonald's to play. These 2 do not spend to much time together but when they do it's Par-ker (CarLee says it like its 2 words) and Car-we (which is how Parker says CarLee, which I find adorable) this. They are so cute together. They played on the play ground while me and Beth watched, then it was inside for the overrated Happy Meal.

Aren't these two just adorable? They are 18 days apart. oh, and CarLee was all like I want Kevin to come (Parker's Dad) and Parker was all like where's Lee?

Then me and CarLee headed home to hang out at the house. I think we both took a nap.
