My 2nd week with Gigi

 Playing at the park at Sahms Pool.

 Picnicing at the pool.  I love my new picnic blanket.  It has been fun for the summer.

 For some reason Gigi has decided she doesn't want to read library books anymore.  So I made up this alphabet game.  It worked we got everybook read.

 Noodles at Johnny Carinos.  Gigi loved it.

 This is a terrible picture.  But Gigi and I are making a rag blanket.  She is concentrating hard on how to tie a knot.

 We stopped at Fro Yo's for a treat before meeting Andrea at the mall.

 Gigi is really in to modeling.  These are a few of her poses.

 Gigi and I met Caitlin at Charming Charlies for a jewelry treat.  We loved it.  We tried on lots of pieces.  If only we had more money.

 On Thursday we had a Pajama Party.  We put on our PJ's and watched a few Disney shows.  Then Gigi said we had to jump on the bed and have a pillow fight.  She said that is what you do at a Pajama Party.

 On of our treats.

 Our pillow fight.

On Friday we met my mom in Knightstown to ride the train to Carthage.  Gigi and Mom were so excited.  I saw this conductor's hat at Target and thought it would be so cute for her to wear it.  You can see the response I got.  

 After she took it off she was having a blast.  She didn't want to get off the train.  She loved it.

 Our stop in Carthage for Ice cream.

 To finish the day we stopped to do a little jumping at Monkey Joe's.

 And then she was OUT!!!!

We had another great week.  We really enjoyed our special days of books, swimming, parties, and our first time riding a train with G-ma.  Here are some of the great pictures.

On Saturday Gigi had her banquet for the end of her soccer season.  It was so nice.  We had pulled pork sandwiches, chips and of course cake!  The kids and coaches (Daddy Baron) were recognized on stage and the "kids" received a soccer ball and CD.  Then after the banquet they got to go outside to some bounce houses and the playground.   It was a nice day.

Molly Graduates!

 Congratulations Graduate!

This past week Molly graduated from Pre-school.  I made a quick trip to St. Louis to watch her.  It was beyond cute.  They had several songs they sang and had some great props to go along with the songs.   Then the presented a rose to their mom's and sang "You are my Sunshine" in a blowup microphone.  Refreshments followed.  Molly was so excited and proud.  I brought her a rose and card.  Missy and Andy gave her a book called "If I could keep you little".  It was a great night.
