Dino Sick Day

All month long in preschool, Leila has been studying dinosaurs and anxiously anticipating the field trip they were taking to the dinosaur museum at the end of the month.  Unfortunately, she woke up with a fever, congestion, sore throat, etc. and I had to keep her home.  I felt so bad for her, especially when she kept asking me if she got to go to the dinosaur museum.  So, I started pulling together some special dinosaur activities for us to enjoy later in the day.  I made her some dinosaur bones out of salt dough and some dinosaur shoes so that she could walk like a dinosaur.

She enjoyed the activities but as she started feeling sicker and sicker, she eventually just wanted to be spoiled and snuggled.  So Jason brought her home a smoothie and Mom snuggled with her on the couch the rest of the night.

Say Yes to the Dress

I went wedding dress shopping with Jori and some of her bridesmaids today.  She had an appointment at one shop so we went there and she tried on a total of three dresses and picked the third.  It suits her perfectly and I can hardly wait to see how it looks once all of the alterations are done!

A Glimpse of the Future

I was really bored yesterday (happens a lot since I can't really take Ellie anywhere easily) so I had Leila dress up in my wedding dress and I took a few pictures.  Since the dress is (of course) absolutely huge on her, I laid the dress on the couch and then slid her in and she just had to lay there while I took pictures.  I've never had her sit so still for pictures before!

 I'm sure her own wedding day will be upon me far sooner than I want!
