Joy’s Crazy, Happy Month (A.K.A. The Rest of February)

Joy has discovered a Wii game called Babysitting Mama – she loves it!

  Big sister got hurt and was crying, so Joy ran into the bathroom (hence Dad’s question – is everyone dressed?) and tried to hypnotize her!  Where do you get these things Joy?
Cupcakes!  Joy loves cupcakes – just the right size!  She was so proud of her painting!  This is the way she looks every morning going to school.  I can’t convince her to eat BEFORE school!

Joy’s Week

Klein cancelled school again on Tuesday.  Fun times!

IMG_3365IMG_8155IMG_8156IMG_8167

Oh my Joy – she is one active girl!  Friday all I did was clean up one fun project after another.  She decided the dog needed a bath.  Poor Patches, she puts up with so much!   Then I turned around later to find Joy eating ice cream on the couch straight from the container.  Baby girl!  I need a fridge lock!   Joy took this picture of Bella.

We got a GI bug in our house.  I had four that caught it.  Lots of laundry!!  Grateful for the washer and dryer!   Poor Joy.  When she stops moving, you know something is wrong!

Bella was resting on the couch and Joy decided to bring her a “couch picnic.” (Daniel Tiger reference)  I thought it was very sweet.

Joy’s Week

Joy loves her new bed!  I find her watching the ipad on it. 

I thought this was cute when I found her babies and her “Daddy” (the Ken doll) on her bed.

Mercer Arboretum – Joy likes to run off which scares me to death!!!  So she had to sit in her stroller during most of our adventure at the arboretum.    She liked the water features the most!  I felt guilty about keeping her cooped up, so I let her out of her stroller and away she ran down the path and was gone.  Ugh!

To make up for her mediocre time, we went across to the park.  That she loved!  She was everywhere!
