Spring is Here

Denny has the intensely irritating habit of sleeping in every weekend. And since the majority of my zen-like patience is used up during the week, I tend to ditch him on the weekends. :P

Much like any other Saturday, the afternoon was creeping closer, and there was still no sign of life in Denny. Eventually he did get up, and he was sick.

So Sophie and I headed out to the duck park, armed with an entire loaf of bread. Here is an action show of her tossing a hunk of bread right at a duck.

We spent a good hour or so running about the park.


Sadly, it started to get cold. I had to rip Sophie away for the slides with promises of seeing Papa.


Once we got home, Sophie and Denny snuggled on the couch, while I went to sew. After 1 or 2 Spongebob's, Denny informed me that Sophie wanted to see "How to Train Your Dragon." Being as Denny is an uber nerd, and has a thing for dragons, I had a suspicion that he was the one who wanted to see the movie.

Off to the movies we went! It was a good movie, even if we were stuck in the very front row. Sophie even sat and watched most of the movie. Around the last 10 minutes she got restless. My favorite thing about the movie is that it had some of my favorite actors as the voices. McLovin, and Jonah from SuperBad are in it. :) Best of all Gerard Butler!

All in all, a pretty good Saturday.

Hedgehog?

Nope.

Just Denny messing with poor Sophie's hair.

Where I Get My Craftiness

Papa (my mom's dad) is an amazing person. He is musical, crafty, good with is hands, magical, and so many more things. When I was younger, he carved me a wooden jewelry box with a big sun on it. (I'll post a picture later) I love that thing, it is beautiful.

A few days ago he showed me what he was working on for Sophie. She now has her very own box.

Don't you love it? I do. I'll probably let her actually use it come Quinceañera age.

And here is the back.

He told me that he chose a star, because that is what she is - a star. She shines so bright. Whenever she is older and doesn't have him around anymore, she'll always have something to remember him by.

Pretty

Make-up doesn't make you pretty. You do.

Snuggling & Tears

It's like Where's Waldo.... but with Sophie! :) This is how I found them a few days back, while I was cleaning. They were both plopped in front of the tv.


Tuesday night I was doing the dishes, while Sophie and Denny watched Spongebob. After a while I noticed that it was far too quiet in the other room. I walked out and they were snuggled on the couch, fast asleep. The cherry on top - it was only 8:30!


I love when she goes to sleep at a normal time. Plus they looked so cute.


While I was busy finishing up this order,


Sophie was running all about with Achilles. She wanted to shove him into his cage, but he wouldn't have that. Sophie was overdue for a nap, so the logical way to react was for her to burst into tears.


And since I already had the camera in hand (taking pictures of the order) I figured I'd snap away. I'm an awesome mom like that.


Plus Denny and Sophie share a trait that I love. Their eye color varies, depending on their mood. Sophie's eyes tend to have a green tint when she's sad, where Denny's go a bright baby blue. I doubt he would ever let me get evidence of this though, because he is a man, and men don't shed tears. :P
