LUCYisms

Each day Lucy comes up with something new that makes us laugh. I thought I better start writing these things down before I forget all of them.

Saturday March 28th

Poor Lucy started the week off with the Flu and woke up Friday with a Cold. So as she was saying her nightly prayers she included this...

"Please bless my nose to run away!"

Eric keep a straight face and continued through the prayer...as for me I could not stop laughing.

Monday March 30th

As always, Lucy made it out of bed before me. She got into some books and was singing like they were the hymn books. All of a sudden I hear her say,

"Look at those scary sharks!"

I was trying to think of what she was talking about. She brought the book to me and showed me the picture she was talking about. Low and behold she found a picture of the male anatomy {from the hips down, with all organs and outlines included}. Once again I could not stop laughing. Oh to be innocent again!

This year we thought we would try our skills out on a vegetable garden. Lucy is all about it! She even has a "perfect" size shovel and rake.

I was feeling very pregnant the day Eric brought home compost, so I sent my Lucy and Eric out to work. I got a knock on the door to find...

I am not sure how Eric told her to plant the seeds, but from the look of it...her nose did most of the work! She was in complete denial about having a dirty face. I chased her around the house trying to get a picture. She kept asking..."Where, Mom?"

Funny girl. Well the garden is doing okay. The radishes did great, a little spicy for me. The lettuce was looking wonderful, until that blasted squirrel ate it down to the dirt. Our cucumbers...were perfect...but we waited one day too long to pick them. Stupid squirrel. Tomatoes, so far so good. And the pumpkins, well we will see if the huge vine produces anything worth while. Next year we will be hunting and trapping all varmints before the seeds are planted!

Lucy's 3rd Birthday

Lucy has been waiting for her {Birthday} to come for a long time. I let her plan her day, and this is how it all turned out...

First we invited a few friends to the park for a {Cupcake} Party.

The night before, Lucy helped me make the "Perfect" colors of frosting. Then she wanted to bring {sprinklers} to decorate the cupcakes. The results...

It was a great day at the park and the kids had fun. Lucy loved all of her gifts. As soon as we got home the boxes were ripped open, dresses & feathers flying and new bows in her hair{I am still trying to talk her into sharing her bows with her Mom}!

Lucy and I went home to start on her "Pirate Cupcakes" for the evening event.

She requested {Pirate Island Pizza} for her Birthday dinner.

We were able to get "The Cave" all to ourselves. It was a bit squishy, but worked out great. Lucy, as always was showered with great presents. She received: a table and 2 chairs{for outside, but she won't let us take it out}...a doll house...3 Barbies...a Barbie Jeep...Barbie clothes{because for some reason they don't wear much theses days}

...a shovel, rake and gloves for the garden...an apron

...and coloring books. Thanks Grandma Hansen, Grandpa Hansen & Nana, Grandma & Grandpa Pendleton, Grandma Shirley, Daniel, Jami & the kids.

It make me so sad that last year I had to go over the whole "blowing out the candle" deal...this year, she was a natural!

Lucy was a crack up in the arcade. She would put the token in and just start pushing buttons. She won soooo many tickets. We had a few tokens left so I was trying to get rid of them fast. Lucy walks by and pushes my button and won the Jackpot!

I think the kids had a blast and it was good to be with family for the {celebration}. As you can see from this picture...I was so tired and ready for bed.

Happy Birthday, Lucy. We love you so much. You are so funny and the sweetest little girl we could ever ask for. Hope you had fun! Until next year.....

{Nightly Prayers}

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this day,

PLEASE BLESS MY PARK TO GET DONE,

Thank you for Mommy & Daddy,

Please bless we have good dreams and be healthy,

We say these things,

In the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.

Lucy does such a great job on her prayers. But tonight was perfect! We have been checking on the new park in our neighborhood for the past couple weeks. We are hoping it will be done in time for Lucy's Birthday. We drove by tonight on our way home to see the progress. As you can tell, Lucy is so excited for the "New Park."

All "Crouped" up!

We have officially been "crouped" up for 7 days now. Lucy woke up last Thurday night with a bad cough. I knew she had croup the second I heard her bark. I took her to the Doctor on Friday only to bring home another virus with her. By Saturday night she was feverish and continued to get a new symptom everyday until Tuesday.

I am so ready to go where I want to go, when I want to go and do what I want to do. Sick baby's are no fun. Eric worked late last night so I put sick Lucy in the car and we were off to Wal Mart. Sorry people...if you are planning on heading to Bloomington Wal Mart you might want to rethink your plans...Lucy spread her germs! I had to get out of the house and play for awhile. Pretty sad when Wally World is your place for fun! Lucy is on the mend and feeling much better. I think the cough might last a couple more days.
