Tiny joys.........

.....are sometimes more appreciated than

the really big fat ones!

(this was baby girl's first popsicle -ok - fruit bar....aren't I good?)


misc 056
yup....she liked it.


misc 047
Of course, Dahlia is a pro.

Suppose she's thinkin' "does speed warrant another one?" Umm...no, sorry.

Here's a little Dahlia quote:

The other day Dahlia walked into my 'boudoir' - ok, big old huge dressing room and asked

Dahlia: "Is that what you're wearing?"

Me: "Yup, my black 'uniform', as usual. I know, I know - I need more clothes (meaning color)."

Dahlia (looking around in disbelief): "Uh....,No, you don't !!"

Me (silently): "Shut-up kid"

:)

A few weeks ago Daddy took the girls to the park on a Sunday afternoon so Mommy could start painting the million doors and frames and baseboards and stuff.

I love it!

I mean the fam walking away (not painting the doors part). I keep bangin' into that barn door but it ain't budging.

Don't you just love the honesty of children (not)! Until my recent What Not to Wear experience, the Tongginator used to tell me almost every morning how I needed clothes that "aren't old and messy." Nice, kiddo. Thanks.

Hmm, I haven't been subjected to that kind of "honesty" with J nor Z yet... It'll come, I know. I just hope that it won't be in public!

Milana enjoying her popsicle... so sweet!! :)

Hi Wanda. Such cuties eating their popcicles! I love it! I also love when Daddy spends some QT with the kids....AND I love it when they are spending QT so I can get some! Hope you are having a great week. :)

Lisa said...

Great pictures! GREAT CHAIR!!!

I just love it when Daddy takes the little ones...but sometimes I do wish it was when I didn't have SO VERY much to do :) like paint!

As always cute post

Oh how I love daddy time. I actually enjoy painting without interruptions too... that hasn't been the case in many years. We have plenty of door frames that need work, but there's no way I'm doing it with little hands all around me! Hope you were able to accomplish all that you needed.

Love the pics of "Popsicle Time"!

Lisa said...

LOL My Sis was recently treated to an honest appraisal ( brutal I might add!) from her tween regarding her clothing/style!! I like her taste but clearly her and I are missing something! ;)

LOVE the frozen treats "treats" you shared with us all and I feel sheepish in admitting that Tyler has already indulged in one or two.....ack! He has tried things that Lauren didn't have until she was 3, but its hard when little one is always watching big! And let's face it....I'm weak when he looks at me with that baby face.....

Hope the reno is coming along....I sure smiled at D's choice of footwear for a trip to the park...my kind of girl!

xoxo

Mahmee said...

Yep. Look at your sweet familia...awesome!
I started out with fruit juice pops...then, started making my own...and truth be told (ssshhhh), I cave on a regular popsicle now and then. It's so hard to be 'The Man'.
Just the beginning of the wardrobe comments from the kids...isn't it fun?

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
