Lazy Morning

and all alone too! Oh dear, the point of the Hubs taking Annabelle into daycare while I'm still home was so I could clean up the yard and run a bunch of errands for her party on Saturday. Alas, after working nightfloat for the past 2 weeks (and being awake for about 32hrs yesterday) I didn't roll out of bed until 9:30 this morning. Now it's 10:30 and I'm sitting on the couch, in jammies, with my feet up and sippin on my coffee... how FABULOUS!!! Sometimes us supermoms need a lazy alone time morning ;-).

The fam enjoying the flowers

Annabelle's first bday was fabulous as well :-D Her nana was in town to visit which was great. This mommy got a little nap after work and then we all went to the tulip festival. The weather was a bit chilly but the sun was out and all the tulips were gorgeous (apparently Jim and I went 2 weeks too early last year, nothing was blooming yet). Then we took Annabelle out for dinner to an Italian place and even though she was exhuasted she ate a TON of raviolies, which she loved. Then our waitress brought her an ice cream sundae with a lil candle in it and we softly sang 'Happy Birthtday' to her... not gonna lie I got a lil weepy again (but I don't think anyone noticed).  Annabelle LOVED her ice cream. And when it was all gone she was pissed, haha totally my kid!

Opening presents on her first birthday

Yesterday was like a continuation of her bday, we took her for her one year well child check. Her pediatrician was very pleased with how she is doing (as are we!) and she got 6 pokies :-( poor lil thing took it like a champ! Then we all went to the park- Annabelle loves the swings and she even 'walked' up the steps on her own! YaY for hidden therapies, although I think she caught on 'cause then it got hard for her and she threw a fit, hahaha. After that we went out for dinner and Annabelle got even more ice cream for desert, grandma Paula wanted to spoil her a lil bit more, and that was fine by me.





Alrighty, I'm going outside now to do yard work... I swear, I'm going.... can't wait for the party now!!!
