Sass

Well, so far we've sailed through 2 1/2 without tantrums, fits, and falling on the floor kicking and screaming.  We're high-fiving each other for this feat!  However, Miss Hannah is a bit of a sassy pants.  Our conversation yesterday morning couldn't go without a blog post....

H:  Mommy, I'd like circle pancakes for breakfast, please.  (Papa Charlie makes "H" pancakes, so she makes sure to tell me that she wants "circle" pancakes).

T:  Okay, Hannah. 

I go off to the kitchen make the pancakes and add some cinnamon applesauce to her plate thinking she would like to dip the pancakes into the applesauce since she doens't have syrup on them (too sticky for morning trying to get ready for work routine!). 

T:  Here Hannah are your pancakes.

H:  looking at the plate  Mommy, did I want applesauce?! 

T:  Uh, well, Mommy thought you might like to dip your pancakes in the applesauce. 

H:  No thank you, Mommy, I eat them plain. 

Well, she knows what she wants and doesn't FOR SURE!  :) 

Kids Club at Home Depot

Richard found out that Home Depot has a Kids Club that meets one Saturday a month where kids can build things.  I can see our house filled with Hannah building projects soon enough.  Richard may have to build a book shelf for Hannah creations to display all of the fabulousness.  Saturday was "build a wagon planter".  Hannah's favorite part was using the hammer and telling us how to build her wagon.  Hmmmmm.....I wonder who she gets that from?!   She had a lot of fun (we did too) and walked away with a wagon for her strawberry plant.  We also bought a box planter, some tomato and carrot seeds, and another strawberry plant to grow.  I think it's going to be really really neat for Hannah to watch her produce grow and then get to eat it!  I may be more excited than her. 

H-E-B

Hannah loves our weekend shopping trip to HEB.  She loves to help me by putting things in the shopping cart.  She has her own shopping cart at home that she got from Santa Claus that she loves to push around the house and pretend to go to the grocery store.  The grocery shopping day (Sunday) came around and she wanted to take the cart with us including two of her babies (Baby Anna and Baby Alice) along with two blankets for the babies.  I caved.  I totally let her bring the shopping cart.  I'm sure it will bite me later, but she wanted to soooo bad.  She was so good at HEB with the shopping cart.  She followed closely behind me, she put "Hannah snacks" in her cart, and she didn't run in to anyone.  I did mostly hear "she's so cute, what a cute shopping cart" and only got two nasty looks from other shoppers.  So, all in all, it was a good trip to HEB and Hannah was super thrilled!

You scream, we scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!

While I was volunteering for the rodeo, Richard and Hannah went for a special treat.  It was her first trip to Baskin Robins and she chose strawberry!  She dove face first in the ice cream cone, it was priceless!

Park

The weather these past couple of days has been gorgeous in Austin!  70's!  We took Hannah to "hannah's park" instead of "daisy's (dog) park" yesterday.  She just loves playing with the other kids, sliding down the slide, and running and jumping.  She's such a ball of energy!
