Our Week in Review

Sorry my posts have turned into weekly round ups, rather than daily updates. But with Lily's school, dance and soccer schedule and my work schedule, I don't have a lot of time each day to blog.

This week was actually a little less hectic. No school or spin on Monday due to Labor Day and no soccer on Tuesday or spin on Wednesday due to weather.

Monday, while Chip and Lily were home we decided to stop by the outlets for some shopping before our weekly lunch date.

Lily loves to sit in the rides at the outlets. It is the cheapest past time since she she won't let me put a quarter in. She just likes to sit and play. (notice she has her Woody doll with her).

Tuesday she wanted her hair up in her Cinderella clip. It looks cute, but never stays in very long. The best part was when I was done and she said, "I look just like my Aunt Linda!" Since Linda often wears her hair this way.

Wednesday before school:

I love this new dress, so I had to get a photo!

Wednesday was a wet and stormy day. What was left of Tropical Storm Hermine hit the metroplex and it poured most of the day! Wednesday night we thought it was all gone, but some random storms popped up and produced more than one tornado in Dallas that touched down! It was the first time since we've been here that we've gotten an actual tornado. They were small and no one got hurt, but there was some damage. While they were still 20 or more miles away from us, our tornado sirens went off, so into the closet we went.

Lily grabbed her laptop and her baby -- just like mommy! :)

Thursday we had playgroup here at our house. Lily was heaven having all her very best friends over at once -- Emily, Carys, Matthew, Elise, Trent and Makayla.

They all piled on the coffee table in the empty front room -- apparently it was their rocket ship!

They were having so much fun playing and us moms were having such a good time hanging out, that Matthew, Carys and Makayla ended up staying until 3:30 -- well into Lily's normal naptime. I started to put her down once they all left, but it was clear that she was still wound up and would take awhile to fall asleep. So instead of making her go to sleep, only to wake her an hour later I let her stay up. (My next post will detail more of what happened next . . . .)

Thursday night grandpa stopped by with a cute little turtle he found at the golf course. I think Lily would have appreciated it a lot more if she wasn't so tired. Plus, I was starting to think she might be coming down with something.

But she pet it and we all went over to the pond on the corner and let him go. He is now friends with the frog that we dropped off there last year!
