Happy Father's Day!

Nana came up for the weekend since she was in the area for work. We FINALLY got a couple days of clear weather and no plans so Munchkin's new birthday playset got put together. 

Nana was on baby duty!

 Some supervisor! This is with the playset in at least 6 pieces still. haha she just couldn't wait! Also, I would like to draw your attention to her new and improved "toddler sneer". This is the "I know you told me not to do this, so whatcha gonna do about it" look. The 2nd variation of this is: she dips her head down, gets a small smile, and cuts her eyes of at you, and you KNOW she's either done something wrong or is preparing to do so. 

 Loving it already!

 Testing out the picnic table and chairs

 Testing the climbing wall. Note Daddy in the background still screwing things in...

 Sorry, Nana, Mommy photo fail!

 Calling Grandpa "Hewwo Gwampa, How are you today?" No, I'm serious, that's how she says it. 

 Multi-tasking

 Mini-Mommy. Apparently I talk on the phone a lot with no hands. 

 "Daddy, come sit here"

 Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

  Just the right size for one Daddy and his baby girl. 

Thanks for the playset Gramma and Grandpa! She loves it!

The old shall become new...

Summer is officially here! Mommy's off of work for a bit, we're doing yard work, havin garage sales and giving hair cuts!

Munchkin helped us spread mulch all of our flour beds

 She had a great time!

 Her hard work deserved a popsicle.

 Then we're almost done with a bedside dresser from Mister's Mamaw. It's got a new coat of paint,

 and some new handles. Now it just needs a little love on the inside as some of the drawers are coming apart. It's headed for Munchkin's room after we put some of her repurposed furniture in a garage sale. 

Finally, this is what a winter Dixie looks like,

 and this is what a summer Dixie looks like. 

Flat Stanley

We got a Flat Stanley in the mail and just sent him back to Washington (state)- it was so fun! If you haven't heard of Flat Stanley, it's a geography/literacy project that many public schools do in 1st grade. You read about a little boy named Stanley that essentially gets squished into 2D and then travels all over the place with his family. Then each kid makes their own 'Stanley' and sends it to someone. Then it's like chain mail, but educational. That person takes Flat Stanley to different places that represent their town and writes a letter back to the class as Stanley and tells about their location. Then they send it on to somewhere else and the same thing happens. So the kids get to learn about a ton of different locations across the country/world. We got a Flat Stanley from some friends in Virginia, I don't have any idea who the original kid is, but we took some pictures and sent him some additional web pictures of our town. Flat Stanley got to go to the Dr. with us and Munchkin wasn't quite sure about him, but she really liked holding him. We didn't have very long before we had to return Flat Stanley (because school was ending), so we didn't get very many good pictures. Oh well, it was still fun and I hope we get to do it again!

Flat Stanley also told Miss McKee's class about the crops that we grow here, and some fun facts about farming! :) See how fun this is?!?!
