Happy St. Patrick's Day

Caroline had a very busy St. Patty's day! Here she is strolling her baby doll, a cabbage patch baby, in honor of St. Patrick himself!
I think here she was just sure that if she touched the keys just right, she would be able to get somewhere.

And here she is with her, errrr I mean *my* purse, ready to go!

The spring like weather (and an impending shower I'm hosting) got us out and about cleaning the yard, weeding the flower beds, and planting some spring plants this weekend. Caroline had a blast playing in the mud, swinging, and throwing the ball to the dogs. Her latest fascination is trying to drink out of a "big girl" cup. She isn't very good at it yet, but she sure loves trying. She found this big plastic goblet in the kitchen and decided she wanted her ice water in it while we were outside.

She was very serious about her drink and was having a blast. But you know that time at every party where your drink runs dry??

Well, she didn't handle that too well. Here she is looking a lot like her mommy when the Pinot Grigio bottle is empty. But, she's young and adaptable so she found an even bigger and better glass.

She certainly was not thirsty on this day!

Muddy feet and cute little toes that I couldn't resist getting a shot of!

This is the alligator on our fountain...a lame attempt at an "artsy" photograph for my Project 365, which has really been avoided lately.

A New Bed for the Princess!

Tonight Caroline and her daddy began to put together her brand new toddler bed. Yes, I know she never ever slept in her baby crib, but we're trying, okay? So, here they are working on the project:



Then, while she was bathing, it was all set up. Here are some photos of her when she first saw it in her room.


Ignore the uncovered plug on the wall. We all know she won't be sleeping in there for now, anyway. She also discovered the big rocking chair while I was putting the bedding on and decided to play me a little tune:


Here is the tiny bed all set up. Only one thing missing in this photo: a little girl sleeping. We'll keep you posted on how that goes.
