Last week, mom invited a few of our girlfriends over for breakfast before we were going to Arts and Apples. Well we never made it to Arts and Apples but we did a lot of girl talk and had breakfast and lunch at our house. It was very nice to have people over. Our house is very comfortable for entertaining. Liesl played with her barbies all morning and showed off all of her plastic animals to the girls. We caught up with each other on vacations and such and shared pictures. Liesl is in to this thing with posing all of her Barbies one certain way and then mimicking them, I managed to get a picture of her lining all of her Barbies on thier bellies and then she laid next to them. very funny. She got an easel from Aunt Melisa and uncle Scott that is very cool and played with that all Sunday and was loving it. Thank you very much Melisa and Scott for the wonderful gift.
Friday night I met aunt Gloria, and the Omas at Mom's house. We were doing some last minute prepping for Melisa's shower. Liesl was quite ready for bed by the time I got there so we managed to get a few hours of decorating in while she napped. It looked quite cute with the tulle bows on the chair backs and the rose garland in the light fixtures along with mom's beautiful china on the tables. We had loads of fun making Melisa paper dollies that Liesl might play with if she doesnt decide to rip them to shreds like usual. I dont know what she has against paper.
Saturday we had a very nice day at the shower.Liesl had a nice time drinking tea, eating Liesl sized tea sandwiches and biting the heads off of swan creampuffs (Thank you Kimmee :P). Liesl got to play with Ota and Opa and all of the other guys there and got to run around in her pretty dress and be doted upon. She was quite well behaved for the amount of sleep she didn't have again that day. She was very helpful to Aunt Melisa with opening her gifts and cleaning up the wrapping paper. When the party started to die down, she was the entertainment for all of us, posing and prancing around the room. She kept letting go of the balloons in the family room and wanted me to get them, so I pushed her up over my head by her thighs and she grabbed it. What she was having the most fun with were Melisa's shoes and a piece of tulle that we put on her head walking around in her pink spanky pants. She kept going like the energizer bunny without a nap until I dont want to tell you when. I was so happy when she finally laid her head down.
Sunday, we were supposed to go to the Renaissance festival with our friend Tamara and her son Vince but Liesl slept in until after they had left so we passed on that. It was a little disappointing but would have been more complicated than we were ready for yesterday. We decided to take Liesl to the Farm Center to visit the animals and have a picnic. The horses were out in the pasture and we were able to go out there and get very close to them. Liesl enjoyed that very much as they are a little elusive at times. After we left...we were hoping to wear "little girl" out so we took her to Blake's Orchard to run around and pick apples. She loved when we lifted her over our heads and let her pick the apples up high. It was a lot of fun out there but still took most of the trip home for her to fall asleep with assistance. .
