FLASHBACK FRIDAYS

Grandma & Mommy

UNDER THE WEATHER

I've been under the weather the last couple of days. Don't know if it's allergies or a cold. But Violet decided to take care of me and snuggle with me on the couch. Of course we are watching Dora.

Da...Da...Da...Da...Da...DORA

In the past six weeks Violet has finally discovered the television. Her favorite show is Dora. Most nights she wants to "watch Dora and eat ice". She likes crushed ice. Weird I know.

This past weekend Nick Jr changed up their program schedule. Which meant no Dora at the times Violet could watch her. Unfortunately our DVR is upstairs in our tv room. The TV in the living room is ancient and needs to be replaced before we can get another DVR box. So monday we had to go to Target and pick up two Dora dvd's so we could still watch Dora.

I looked all over for a plush Dora doll. It's harder than you think. Most are all plastic with nylon hair. Thanks to Grandma pink baby is her baby of choice right now and it goes everywhere. Apparently it's name is Karen.

CIRCUS

Violet wasn't a fan of how loud it was but she soon warmed up. She sat on our laps most of the time.




Violet's favorite part of the circus was the horses. We see horses multiple times a day driving to and from school so I thought maybe she'd be impressed by the other animals, but no.



Violet loved all the clapping.

AN EVENING AT HALLMARK

Last tuesday there was an after hours event at work. Here's a pic of a few of the awesome people I get to work with. We were promoting our Edge of Motherhood and One Tough Chick card lines.

PITY THE FOOL

Here's Violet doing her best impression of Mr.T.
She had to wear these to lunch yesterday. She got lots of compliments on her necklaces.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS

I can't recall if I've posted this one before or not. I try to label stuff I've posted. Anyway...this is Great Grandma Eleanor Violet Verble and Great Aunt Shirley to Violet. Check out the stylin' hat and coat Grandma has on. Why don't people wear hats anymore? Fancy hats need to come back in style.

SPARKLY

Violet experienced nail polish yesterday evening when one of the neighbor girls painted Violets nails on one hand blue. She thought it was the coolest thing. So I decided to redo them and I gave her clear sparkly polish. I was surprised she sat long enough to have her nails painted.

FAMILY TREE

Last week was family week at school. Violet had to take in a picture of her family. They talked about family and their last names and did tons of projects with that theme. This one came home friday.

FIRST REAL BOO BOO'S

Violet fell on the driveway while running on friday evening. This was her first real boo boo that required band aids. It wasn't until she was all done being cleaned up and had on her band aids that she almost passed out on me. A bit alarming to me. I knew she only hit her knees not her head. I was carrying her down stairs and we were headed back outside when she cried mommy, turned white and fell backwards all limp. I guess she just has a weak stomach. Takes after Chris.
