You know it was fun when even your panties got dirty!

Shaye went to the park sleepy but ended up digging in the ball field with her friend and boy did they get dirty.  But often really dirty means really fun!

Shaye and her friends

So as my daughter gets bigger; I have come to realize that my social life has become hers.  We spent the weekend meeting up with her friends (and she's not even 3!)  Thank god all the kids are great kids with wonderful families and its been fun!  So we spent 2 1/2 hours at the park with her friends from daycare, lunch with Riley and her family, afternoon at the Shrine's Country Festival with cousin Olivia, and dinner with Dean and his family on Sunday, concert at the library today with Olivia too.  There's also a cute picture from when the fire truck visited the preschool.

Ouch Report

Shaye got her 1st ouch report at school yesterday.  After 2 years in daycare that is a pretty good testament to her toughness.  But she collided head on with a little boy and has developed quite a blackeye.  I am so sad to like at her pathetic little face.  She says it will go away in 2 days; maybe a little longer.  But she's still smiling.

I am often the mad woman running out into my yard screaming at the deer:  "Don't eat my Flowers".  Shaye has taken over that role; running right after me this evening.  I happened to get a little carried away with it yelling "you Bastards!"  so she repeated me:  saying "You Bads Deers". At least she didn't realize what I was really saying :)

End of summer

A busy weekend and now a day to rest!

So I thought we could go to the Lake or Liberty Science Center or....  But after a busy weekend at Kids Junction, then a BBQ at the Catalano's, and the Beach yesterday.  Shaye woke up and said "My body hurts."  All that playing is tough work.  So we will hang out and rest today.  Tomorrow is back to work and Shaye begins nursery school!  There's some excitement there, but also some sadness that summer is coming to an end and my baby is growing up. (Oh by the way that's her "boyfriend Dean" (I can only pray she meets a nice boy like him when she grows up--they get along so well).
