Mommy Misses You!!!

I had to go out of town with work for most of the week without my sweet McCall (or sweet husband)- can we just say it made for a VERY long week???? OH YEAH! Thankfully, Davy and our amazing friends Jencey and Brandon kept sending me pictures and videos. I sure did miss that little girl!!!!!

So proud of my husband- he even put a bow in her hair!

Our friends, Jamie and Carmen, got a puppy, Bo, and McCall was eager to meet him!

The Shoe Incident

Life is NEVER dull with McCall around. OK, with that being said.... Last Friday suddenly McCall's white tennis shoes went missing. We searched our house over and I mean from one end to the OTHER. SERIOUSLY! Finally Monday rolled around and I had pretty much said bye bye to all hope of finding those cute little white Keds. So, I did what any good mom would do... I went and bought her another pair when I got off of work. I called Davy and told him that daycare did not know where the shoes were so I just broke down and bought another pair. He said that was fine and that after he got off of work he was taking our trash to the dump and would meet me at home to see the new purchase. So, Davy did just that BUT when he got home he had a sneaky little grin on his face. I asked him what was going on and he said "guess what I found?" Yes, that's right, THE SHOES!!!! Want to know where he found them? The most obvious place..... (lots and lots of sarcasim here) an empty Diet Coke box! We habitually put our empty drink boxes by our back door to be taken to the trash dump and I guess Miss Priss decided she was going to "hide" her shoes in the box. Davy said he was SOOO close to tossing the box  into the trash dump when he heard something bumping around in the box and discovered the missing shoes. Goodness... what are we going to do with this girl?

The infamous missing shoes....

Ok, so I went to replace her Keds and came home with 4 additional pair!!!! Yes, the back left pair are just like her favorite sparkly shoes she already has. I thought this would cheer her up after her big fall at school...it did!!!!

Busy Week and "Ouchy" Reports

So sorry I have fallen down on my blogging duties- work has been NUTS! Anyway, somewhere in the middle of work "stuff" I found some time to snap a few cute pictures of McCall that I am posting below.
I am also noting this as more of a journal for myself (and McCall, of course) ,but this week included a few "firsts" for McCall. These were not so fun "firsts." McCall's first ouchy at school and at home- and they happened on back to back days- poor child! McCall fell off of the toddler couch with a book in her hand and unfortunately the book went into her gums and made her bleed! :( The very next night Davy and I went to The Easterlings for dinner and McCall fell outside and scraped her hand.... again, bleeding! Poor child! AND now to top it off, McCall tripped and scraped her nose, chin, and busted her lip at the Arts International Festival today all in one fall. Several things ran through my head after I realized McCall was OK today #1. I'm so glad school pictures were taken a week ago and #2. DSS will be calling any day now....Awesome....

McCall's school had "Pancakes for Parents" last week and we attended. I laughed so hard I cried when I looked at the pictures that were taken- why in the world was I making this face? Haha!

This makes me laugh. McCall likes to get on and ride it backwards. haha!

These two are up to no good...

busted... eating ice cream!

At the Arts International Festival (pre-fall/pre-busted lip, etc.)

It makes me sad all over again everytime I look at it... her poor nose got the worst of it!

Her hands are actually starting to look better :)

What A Beautiful Weekend For A Party!

McCall had quite a packed schedule this weekend! She attended Henry Love's Third Birthday Party and Hampton's Second Birthday Party. Both parties were outside and had tons of food. McCall's favorite things are #1 FOOD (of any kind) and #2 Being outside. Do you think our child had fun??? Oh yeah! AND to top off all of that, Mimi came to visit!!!! Wow, McCall was a happy little girl this weekend!
You guys probably know what's coming.... picture OVERLOAD! :)

Getting ready to leave for the par-tay!
