Picture my day: Glamorous Morning to Kickin' Dirt!!

My morning started out EARLY!! Woken up before 7am on a Sunday...NOT ALLOWED!! I felt like my friend Marissa, whose son was trying to win the record for most time-outs in one day...Lainey was trying to beat his whole day score before church!! AHHHHH So while I'm attending to some not so private business(at least not anymore!!) Lainey is holding pink glitter polish in front of my face saying, "peas MOM, peas?" As much as I hate to reward bad behavior, I'm not sure she's put the two together at barely 19 months old and I figured the bad behavior was partially my fault...she's bored...so I got cleaned up and sat her on the counter and proceeded to paint her nails...Fingers AND toes!! Then I wanted to have some fun...I saw an opportunity to take some cut pics. I let her put on pearl necklaces and try on my rings...then she grabbed my make-up brushes...And my mom thinks she's a tom boy...I'll show her...his morning she was ALL GIRL!! My sweet sweet girl...I can already see lots of dress-up days in our not so distant future!

Well it didn't take long to scuff up her pretty little nails...I've been wanting to go out to Madera Ranchos to visit my Aunt Lynn and Uncle Tracy...Lainey's GREAT aunt and uncle!! They live on a regular ol' Funny Farm!! Lainey's been too little and too young to appreciate it until now. This was a good starting age. She had a blast roaming around with the goats, Mia, John Michael, & Sherman, William the mini horse, titus the tortoise, Tucker the emu, the 4 dogs Ben, Bob, Daisy & ______...forgive me Lynn, its after 1am... Oh and all the birds, too many to name! We had a great time and enjoyed watching the sun go down...made for some more fun pictures!
