Mini and Mommy: Birthday Weekend

I think I said in a previous post that I would start blogging twice a week....well I broke that. Oops. This past weekend was my birthday. Woohoo right? Well, now that I am over a quarter of a century, I am starting to just feel old. :) I know I'm not, but I still feel that way! My birthday was on a Friday, so I decided to take the day off and have a three day weekend to spend with my family. Friday morning we took Mini to McDonald's to meet my parents for breakfast. We played in the play area, which she is obsessed with now. It is so fun to watch her climb and discover new things. She is getting so big!

The day before I noticed a small rash on her neck that had been irritating her. I didn't think much of it, until it spread to her entire back, left arm, and left cheek. It was HUGE. I decided to be safe and take her to the doctor. She wasn't too happy about my decision.

Turns out they have no clue where the rash came from. Sweet. We do know it is a contact rash, and it isn't from strep throat. There is no telling where it came from...she has been so active lately, trying new things, doing new things, that we have no clue what it could be. The steriod cream is working, thankfully, and now there are just a few scratches left over (please ignore my hub's awful sunburn- that is the result of a temorary moment of insanity and lapse in judgement :) ).

On Saturday we walked around Southlake Town Square's Art in the Square Festival. After my hub's "incident" on his canoe trip (just think of a lobster, and you will know what he looked like for a week) we lathered up Mini with sunscreen to protect her porcelain skin. The festival had lots of art, food, and beer. We decided to let K "drive" and boy did she have a blast. I however forgot that the lack of stroller meant the lack of a bag holder, and my diaper bag is heavy. I got a jamba juice and offered Mini a drink. Honestly I didn't think she would like it, but after one sip she was hooked!

These next few pictures are from an app called Instagram. http://instagr.am/ You can take a picture with the app or edit an existing one with a bunch of different filters that make your pics look really cool. You can also follow other people's pictures and make comments.

Lately Mins has been really into her stroller, baby doll, and purse. I can tell her to "put on your purse" and she will actually put it on her shoulder! It is the cutest, proudest moment for a girly momma like myself. :)

Last night I gave K a pedicure. She was such a good girl and sat really still for me. Who am I kidding, she hated it and I had to bribe her with tortillas and the movie Tangled!

You know it is bed time when Kathryn ends up in time out. This has happened a total of oh 5 times probably. She was literally throwing her toys on the hardwood floor (big heavy plastic ones) and I told her no twice. There isn't a third in our house- James put her in time out. The hilarious part about it- she actually sat there, with her head down, until we told her to get up. She had the most pitiful face... it was everything I could do to not die laughing. As soon as we said she could get up, she went straight to her daddy and gave him a big hug and kiss. All was forgotten and she slept wonderfully after that. :)
