First Finger-painting Craft

Today I thought it would be fun to do some finger-painting with Brooke.  I had brought her paints a while ago but today we made a Target run and got some paper.  Brooke was very timid to start and wanted her finger cleaned between each color.  However, when Mommy started pouring paint on the page and making full hand-prints, fingerprints, and getting messy she played along too.  Here is our masterpiece.

Last Family Day of Three

This Tuesday was AJ’s last day off before we become a family of four and we spent it together taking Brooke out to breakfast and because it was raining, to a local bounce house.  We all had an amazing time and Brooke did some great bouncing and climbing.

AJ’s New ‘Baby’

AJ’s new ‘baby’ is a week old now.  Last Friday AJ became the proud owner of a new Kia Optima.  It is a sleek and sexy looking car and very technologically advanced which is just perfect for AJ.

Botanical Gardens Fun

Today I took Brooke to the Botanical Gardens for a day of fun.  We are really enjoying some Mommy/Daughter time together right now.  We of course watched airplanes and then went to the butterfly garden and ended at the water fountains.  I had a lot of fun with her and I think she enjoyed her day as well.
