Momma's Birthday

Well I had a rather nice birthday. On the weekend, my Kaethe Tante and Kathy, Aunt Barb, Steve and Frantz Onkel, and Mom came to have breakfast Saturday morning. Liesl had a good time with her Kaethe Tante as always and played a lot in the yard in her sandbox, her swings and showed Aunt Barb her rock garden which she is very proud of. Monday morning when I dropped her off for the day at her Oma's house as she was drifting back to sleep she mumbled "I Love You Momma" and slept in for her Oma which was nice. I was able to score her some free tickets to Disney Princesses on Ice for this evening which she is very excited about seeing. I hope that she will listen to Oma Ronnie and I from this morning when we told her that she will need to sleep like sleeping beauty this afternoon so she is fresh to see the princesses tonight. As I was leaving this morning she proceeded to say "...and see sleeping beauty, and Ariel, and Tinkerbell, and snow white, and cinderella.....". She was heading out to the Rainforest Cafe with the Omas and Opa and Ota this afternoon and for playing in the kid-scape at Great Lakes. She was so excited to go she kept telling everyone "Im going Rainforest Cafe too". She has been telling me "Happy Birthday" all week and last night daddy got us some food and cupcakes to celebrate from what daddy calls "whole paychecks" or whole foods....mmmmmm...mmmmm the cupcakes were heavenly. Liesl of course got to blow out my candle which I dont think I could keep her from. Looking forward to tonight's skating performance. I am sure she will love it.

The Fairies are changing the leaves momma

Liesl has been obsessing about Tinkerbell since August. She now has seen the 2 Tinkerbell movies and has been watching the leaves change on the trees and points out to me that the Fairies have changed the leaves colors. Very cute. I am so glad she likes fairies and dragons and such. We also have a dragon book that she likes me to read her. It is a big picture book by one of my favorite SciFi authors. She loves to pick out the dragons in the pages.

Looking for my Barbies in Oma's attic, I didnt find the Barbies but I did manage to find a bunch of books from when I was little up there and I have been reading them to her. I found some Ranger Rick books, a Ronald Dahl, some kid joke books and some others. I started reading her Little Witches in the October spirit last night and she liked it a lot. We also got some potty training gear last night...Some princess panties, training pants and a potty ring. She is liking the potty ring very much and has been really good about going on the potty during the day.

Looks like yesterday and today are zoo days for Liesl. She had a really good time yesterday because it was nice and cool, the animals were out and or feeding time. She got to see a lot of action with the animals. Her favorite from yesterday were the Meerkats. She keeps saying "Meerkats digging hole". Oma Ronnie should be happy because the Meerkats are also her favorites. She was up at the crack of dawn today with her momma getting ready, even got dressed and breakfast before we got to Oma Ronnie's so she is ready to have some fun today!

I am hoping to get together another fall project this weekend. She keeps on saying "making project Grady" remembering her project from last weekend. Hopefully something we can hang up for fall. Maybe I will get some wreath material and start from there.
