My new hat...

 

My Aunt Ann brought me this hat from her trip and after awhile I found it and decided to give it a try.  I was moving so fast so my mommy could not get me, but she took so many shots that I guess she found some decent photos to show up!

By the way, I love pinwheels!

"New Clothes"

We had seen a new store of gentle used children 's clothes near our house called Once upon a child and we decided to check it out mostly because the thrift store does not seem to have 3Ts, we are in a budget and Arianna needed some clothes (mostly pants). Arianna had a lot of fun! They had toys as well, but they were not as cheap as the thrift store, but in the other hand the toys are in better condition and complete sets, otherwise they will tell you. No broken pieces, no chipped stuff. Not bad, but we have enough toys for now. I am looking for a kitchen though. She loved his cousin's kitchen last time we went to visit. As for the clothes, you would not even know they were used. I bought two things that still had the tags. Prices were 2.50- 5.00 average. They had dresses or design clothes (GAP, Phat, etc) that are a bit more expensive. We would go again, and hopefully next time the crazy lady that was following Mike will not be there!



This was one of the projects from the 52 projects per year. But I wanted to add some more pictures. She really liked it. Maybe one day we will get an easel, a big one! And we may try feet painting just like someone left in my comments!


Mike was looking for a way to arrange all of Arianna's toys and we bought some baskets. They look so pretty :)

Pajamas, shoes and Fall!

This is one of Ari's pajamas! She has a new routine: teeth cleaning, check pamper, say goodnight to Papa, find a blanket, go upstairs for pajama change, lay down on the pillow while accommodating rabbit and cat to be near her, fixing the blankets + the blanket for face/ neck, mama saying I love you and good night plus a meow or some grrr sound, turn off light. Yups, that is the routine for now.





New shoes! We bought two pairs, her feet keep growing! Well, the winter the boots are her first pair ever and they are needed for this winter. The other pair you see in the picture was the first pair that Ari picked by herself! Mike showed her different shoes, many were sent back to the shelf until this pair. She loves them!


When I think of fall, I think of apples and pumpkins (these apples were the ones picked last weekend!)... also I think of the new job I started... hardest part... to leave Arianna, but she is doing great. Thank you for your help!. The job itself is in a lab, so far so good...
