As I was innocently washing dishes, my daughter was stamping herself all over with her Strawberry Shortcake stamp out of a McDonald's Happy Meal. This all happened in a matter of two minutes at the most. When I looked over my shoulder and gasped, Harper immediately started crying. She knew she was in trouble! (not really) I tried not to laugh as I was taking these pictures. However, the stamp is in the trash.
Recently, Harper has really taken an interest in blocks...legos, wood blocks, big blocks, etc...anything that makes towers and castles. We may have an engineer/ballerina/teacher/doctor/gymnast on our hands:)
Harper attended Aidan's 5th birthday this weekend. It's hard to believe how old he is....and so smart and handsome!
Mamaw is getting into the birthday action with Harper.
As we began our night of trick or treating, we were greeted with this beautiful rainbow and sunset. This was the front and side view from our driveway. What a blessing!
What happened to our fairy princess? I learned a valuable lesson this Halloween season...wait until the week of Halloween before purchasing a costume. At the beginning of October I searched and searched for the perfect pink, fairy princess costume. Notice I said "fairy" because said costume needed to have wings as well as be pink and very princessish (sp?). I guess my mistake was buying Wubzy's Halloween dvd. Harper fell in love with "Monster Madness" and the green monster. After having watched that particular episode probably 500 times, she then began telling everyone who asked that she was going to be a green monster for Halloween.....see below:)
Everyday Harper has a fashion statement to make. In the morning for school, I let Harper decide between two outfits. However, when she gets home the first thing she does is run to her room to change clothes. The rule is that she can wear whatever she wants at home and that gets interesting:)
I wonder if GAP could use this pic in one of their ads:)
I always have to add a shot of Harper and Fletcher.
Harper is really enjoying her gymnastics class. We've moved up to a big girl class. My job is to sit back and watch, which is really hard to do sometimes:) Anyway, Harper is the youngest student in her class, but you can't tell. She doesn't lack in energy or enthusiasm.
She has her forward roll down pretty good....
Harper started out working hard for Papaw around the yard...
Next we needed a bunny rabbit...
Harper had her first sleep over a few weeks ago with Rya. Rya belongs to Marcus' friend from college, Adam. At one point both girls were going to the potty at the same time in the same bathroom with their daddy's watching over them. I wonder if while in college the dad's thought ahead to this moment in time:)
Sorry to all my loyal blog followers....a lot has been going on in Southeast TN. I made the huge decision to go back to work full time and needless to say that doesn't leave me much time to blog. Between working, getting two people ready, tending to a sick little girl, football season, etc., there has not been much time to spend on my blog. Here are some snapshots of over the past month...
In the above pic, Harper and Nana are playing with the big, foam finger:) Below is a picture of, "Daddy in the sky." Marcus sits in the box much to mine and Harper's dismay. We enjoy seeing him on the sidelines.
