Girls Day

I knew today was going to be a good day... how can you not have a good day when it starts off with a homemade by Emilia "banana birthday cake." (That's what she calls this creation.)We had plans to run a few errands with my sister, Melissa, who was kid free today... this doesn't happen often with three kids! For our "fun" day we had planned a Costco run, lunch, and then back home for Emilia's nap. As it turned out we went to Costco and then Emilia fell asleep on the way to lunch, so we grabbed food to go and headed back to my house so Emilia could finish her nap. By the time we got back to the house, Emilia had been asleep for almost an hour and did not seem like she wanted to lay back down, so we headed to the park instead. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside and today made me long for spring (minus the tornado season)... not summer... not winter... spring and fall are my favs. One of Emilia's new obsessions has been geese so it was her lucky day at the park because the geese were EVERYWHERE! The geese kept flying right over us, and Emilia, of course, was standing there staring at them... mouth wide open... so aunt Mimi (Melissa) taught her how to watch them with her mouth shut...

Mouth shut!

Melissa, Markus and the kids came over tonight for manacotti... it was yummy! Garrett and Lily had not seen Emilia's new playroom yet, so they were quite happy to play with all the new toys. We had stripped the girls down for dinner since red sauce is not clothing friendly... and they were both too busy to put their clothes back on... hence these pics!

Emilia thought the gardening gloves matched her apron!

Lily vacuuming!
