Busy Busy Busy

Hi All
Hope you all had a good week. Sophia is such a busy little girl. She is not destructive like some kids but she never stops. I get comments from people while we are out, how active she is. She is also very fast and loves to walk. She hates being in the stroller for longer than 10 mins. So needless to say when I go into a store and know exactly what I need and where it is. Get in and out as fast as possible or at least get as much done as fast as I can before I have to let her walk. She loves older people like grandmas and especially grandpas and they love her. She always smiles at them and they can't help but smile back.
Enjoy the pics from our week.

Monday we went to the library. Sophia plays more with the toys instead of the books. I pick out books for her to read when we get home. 

"Wow mom knows me so well. What a good book for me"

"Im only pretending to read so mom can get a picture. I have to humor her sometimes."

Playing with other kids

"I know we are not shopping for me but I just love these purses with puppies inside"

 Ok just for the record I really didn't want to unwrap an original Cabbage Patch Kid but Grandma couldn't help herself and let Sophia play with it.

"Grandma likes it when I take her for a walk"

BEST BUDS

"When Iris comes over we like to take all of my stuffed animals for a walk to the couch. Then we leave them all over the living room until mommy can't stand it anymore and cleans them up. Its a fun game we have with mommy. She likes it."

Blowing bubbles

 I have been craving yard work and hating the weather. So we went outside and tried to get rid of the snow by shoveling it onto the grass. I never thought I would be 'that person' who does this but this winter has been way too long.

"Mommy put us to work"

Ok Funny Story...

 After swim class on Wednesday I was getting dressed and I turned around and this is what I saw....

 The funny thing is, this wasn't even our locker.

 Upstairs from the pool is this great play area that is free!!! We like free play areas. This was Sophias first time here, actually second but she was small when we were here for Iris's birthday party and didn't play.

"Oh my goodness!!! No One told me there was a stash of balls here"

Her favorite this was this slide.

 On Saturday we let Jason nap after work while Sophia and I made crackers. She loves to snack but I hate the crap that is in packaged foods. So on Pinterest I found this recipe for crackers like the goldfish crackers...only these were way better.
Sophia (and I) LOVED them. So good and easy. We just used a small animal cookie cutter and then a ravioli cutter to speed things up a bit.

Some Sunday mornings Jason takes us to A&W for breakfast. Its nice and quiet becasue its us and a bunch of seniors which Sophia loves. She visits everyone and gives out lots of smiles.
Today Sophia woke up at 5:45 (not sure why) so we went for breakfast at 8:00 then to Greenland greenhouse to pick up a few things.

"I love breakfast out"

She likes to visit the greenhouse cats. This is the closest she has been to a cat in a while so we weren't sure exactly what she would do. She almost stepped on their tails a few times.

Lets hope the weather gets better this week. Sophia walks around the house with her coat and shoes because she wants to go out. The wind has been bad the last couple of days and seems to take her breath away when it hits her but she still wants to go out. :) This summer will be fun and busy with her outside 'helping' in the yard.

Have a great week :)
