Day One Hundred and Forty-One thru One Hundred and Forty-Three

Slow days....

Ava has been running a fever from teething the last few days so we haven't done much aside from me going to school and going to Nan's for lunch yesterday.  Today the fever is finally down.  Yay for that!!!

Day One Hundred and Forty

A day at the park...

Well, it had been a somewhat dreary week and Friday was actually nice so it was off to the park for Ava and I.  We went first to the Amish market and got yummy strawberries, zucchini, and peach jam.  I really wish I had gotten a photo of the strawberries.  They were such a deep red all the way thru and were so sweet.  Ava LOVED them.

When we got to the park I was disappointed to find the equipment was too hot.  Ava ran to the swing which is black.  I mean really, whose design idea was that, can't we have a lighter color rubber?  Ava did not understand that it was hot so I had her touch it and she said "hot" and then pushed the swing in defiance.  I mean how dare that swing be hot right.  So she proceeded to walk her way to the equipment and I helped her climb the slide but then she turned to sit to come down it and said "hot" and smacked the slide.  Again, how dare it be hot.  Poor thing just couldn't figure out why it was all hot but being a kid she found fun in climbing and walking all of the steps so I sat back and taped her.  I believe at one point she even says "hot" because even the rails were hot.



Needless to say we didn't hang around long.  We went back to the car for a drink and I tested to see if she would be okay with leaving by asking if she wanted to get in.  She must have been over the hot park because she was actually ok with going.  That doesn't happen often; not after such a short visit.  We came home and she got a lunch of chicken nuggets, green beans, and an enormous amount of strawberries.

Day One Hundred and Thirty-Eight & Day One Hundred and Thirty-Nine

A new page....

My summer schedule is changing things up a bit and it will take some getting use to.  I am working to incorporate more activities for Ava to give her a chance to explore and learn through art, music, and physical activity.  We also will have weekly visits to Nans because I think they both enjoy that time.  Her is a scene from our visit last week.  Nan is replacing the batteries to a remote control car for Pop and Ava to play. If you look close enough you can see the top of Missy's head.

O and as for the next day, let's see that was last Thursday, I got in one of my new books for this semester.  The other one actually came today.

Crap...why does my summer already sound busy.

Day One Hundred and Thirty-Seven

Dance....

Normally she gets more into it then she did here but she was eating M&M's.  We all know how distracting that can be ;)

Day One Hundred and Thirty thru One Hundred and Thirty-Six

Bi-Polar Weather and a Semester's End...

It's been a week since I last posted...yikes.  However, my spring semester is over and in about a week I will begin my summer semester.  Time to readjust to a new schedule and hopefully some nicer weather.  The weather has been out of hand and all over the place.  Let's see where to start...what have we missed...

130
Ava loves Apples and now insists on eating them like a big girl.

131
Last day of school...(insert huge mega sigh of relief).  I got everything done and turned in and it felt like a miracle.  With Ava and Aaron getting sick right there at the end I got thrown off big time.

132
The pudding monster came out.  I have what I consider to be a fairly neat child at meal times.  She rarely gets her face messy and if her hands get too messy she likes you to wipe them.  However, this all goes out the window when she is eating pudding.

133
My brother got a turkey so I took a few pictures for him.  Guess I should have asked for permission to post them but o, well I own them...hahaha

then later that night we had one of those freaky thunder storms that rolls in real quick.  We even had hail...I don't think I have seen hail in forever. (there is a horrible glare from the light above the table...oops)

134
I got an aloe plant at the amish market.  My Grandmothers had them when I was little and with summer approaching I figured it might be a good thing to have around.

135
Internet Fail...stupid comcast.  Somehow we had a signal all day..you could see it, it was there.  However, we could not get on the internet.  I called and they said they couldn't get their signal to our modem and would send someone out Wednesday.  The internet came back on it's own though; guess I should call and cancel.

Day 136
Random photo because it was Monday.

That almost has me caught up.  Be right back with a post with another Ava video from today.

Day One Hundred and Twenty-Nine

What a cute little hot head...

Ok so Ava inherited Aaron's sleep issues and my attitude.  Poor child!!! 

This video is too cute for words...



Now be warned...if you have ever witnessed the Daye temper or you are one of us select few that has it you will understand.  I think myself, my Dad, and Poppie have all been witnessed having similar fits.  I guess this is what is called payback.  I do know one thing...throwing things always makes me feel better.  Enjoy!!

Day One Hundred and Twenty-Eight

Mothers Day...

I took a few photos that morning while I was getting ready.  Ava loves to play with my make up...especially the brushes.  I wonder if that's one of those memories that will stick with her.
