Wordless Wednesday Part 1

I love my Sweet Girl!

Random and Frustrating!

For the past few months I have been trying to figure out the name of a song. Months I tell you!! The thing is, I can't remember who it's by or any real lyrics, let alone the actual name of the song. I didn't really even love the song!! I liked it, it was catchy, but geepers.

All I can remember is a little snippet of the video. The band is a club and the singer is a blond woman with shorter hair. There are keyboards and it sounds pretty electronic. I think the lyrics were repetitive too.

I know it's not much, if anything, to go on, but I NEED HELP! I'm getting frustrated that I can't think of this! I don't even know what to search for on Google or iTunes!

UGH! Please help!!

Wordless Wednesday

Bike Helmet

A few weeks ago, we bought a bike trailer. It was on clearence at Target for a lot cheaper than I have found used ones!

It's a Schwinn trailer that also turns into a jogging stroller. I've only used it as a bike trailer so far, and haven't gone too far because we don't have a helmet for Adelle. I've gone to Erick's before to check out helmets, but there was only this creepy bunny on their toddler helmets. Well today when I went, I was talking with one of the associates and she told me they could order a different one. I got really excited when she told me that. I ended up ordering this one for Adelle, because it was the only one that didn't creep me out. What do you think?!

The Little Gym

Brian and I bought a Groupon {I love Groupon} for The Little Gym in Burnsville. Adelle really loved running around, climbing, and even tumbling. Here are a few pictures during one of her sessions. Auntie M came with us and Brian and I took the pictures.

I am completely in love with my Sweet Girl and appreciate all of the blessings we've had, like being able to experience The Little Gym!

Adelle Loves Her Aunts

Adelle has been babbling so much lately! She definitely takes after her Mama with her babbling :) Well, she likes to mix real words with nonsense words. She'll say real words and phrases like, I did it, Stop it, Why, Hi, Hello, Mom, Mama, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Nonna, Papi (kind of), Yes, No, and a bevy of other words. It's super exciting to hear the new words she learns!

When Adelle was at Nonna and Papi's house the other weekend, Nonna taught her to say M for her Auntie Maria. So now, when Maria calls my phone {she has a special ring} Adelle runs to it and says, M! Adorable!

Angie is more difficult to say though. We've been practicing a lot and I go over the sounds with her too. Then, the other day, when I asked her to say Angie, she said Annie. It actually sounded more like An-yee, but it pulls on my heartstrings to think that Annie could keep going in our family. I miss you, Annie!

We just need to work on Danielle!!

5 Question Friday

1. If you had the opportunity to bungee jump, would you?
I used to have no trouble saying yes. The thrill would be amazing!! However, now that I have a child I can't help but think of all of the things that could go wrong. Everything from crashing on the way to go bungee jumping, to having the bungee fail. It's actually kind of awful!!

2. Would you rather go to the movie theater or to the drive-in?
It depends on what the movie is/movies are. There is a drive-in close to where I live that plays 3 movies. If all three were movies I'd want to see, or even just 2 of them, I'd want to go. I haven't been to a movie in SO long though, I'll take either!!

3. Do you have your groceries delivered?
No because I am afraid of change apparently! I am not sure how it works, and what if we're not home? Do YOU have your groceries delivered?

4. Eyebrows: Do you wax, thread, pluck, or stay au naturel?
WAX and PLUCK - my brows are unruly! I usually get them waxed every couple of months then try to maintain with plucking. I then get frustrated and have to wax again.

5. Would the people you went to high school with be surprised by your life today?
I don't think so. I've wanted to be a teacher and work with kids since I was little. I have also wanted to be a mom as well. I think if they were surprised by anything I think it would be that I have only one child. We aren't stopping at one though, we are enjoying the time we have with Adelle while watching her grow!!

Hotter Than Billy...

Oh my goodness... it's hot. Really hot. Walk outside and instantly sweat hot. Glasses/Sunshades sliding off your face hot. Ishy hot. I really don't like hot weather, though I can be in it as long as there is shade (or a fan, or a pool) but TEACHING in this kind of weather wears me out!!

I mean, the buildings aren't air conditioned and when you put 20 kids and 3 adults into small room and expect them to focus and learn something... that is wishful thinking! My students are beyond wilted, and I have to say, I am no better. I have been reading a lot and having them be still (which is NOT my preference) just so they don't move around and get miserable. They've done a nice job thus far, but we'll see how the next 2.5 weeks turn out!

UGH - I don't like it when it's this hot out! Do you?
