NOT afraid of chickens

Some may recall...as a toddler, Lucy was most definitely afraid of chickens. But oh no, not Phoebe Grace. Phoebe Grace loves her some chickens!

{maybe it's because she actually looks a bit like a fluffy chicken?}

Sun{ny}day

What could be better...

...than new red espadrilles? Nothing, that's what!

{ok, well maybe red espadrilles AND a red pedicure are even better}

Phoebe Grace, Superstar

They go waaaaay back

We had a great playdate at my house last Friday...so many of Lucy's little friends. It is amazing for me and my friends to sit back and realize that our little babies are now children who converse and play with each other. Where does the time go?

Hot or not?

{that is NOT me!}

What do we think of this swimsuit? Cute or dowdy? Chic or "trying too hard to be chic"? Fun or just silly?

Easter's on its way...

Bedtime conversation tonight:

Mommy: Ok, Lucy, I'm gonna go downstairs now. I need to be down there to let the Easter Bunny in. So, go to sleep now.

Lucy: Will he ring the doorbell?

Mommy (knowing that Lucy will stay up listening for the doorbell): No.

Lucy: Why not?

Mommy: Um, because his big bunny hands can't press the button. So he'll knock, but very lightly so you can't hear him. I need to go downstairs now so that I can be sure to let him in when he gets here. We wouldn't want him to miss our house!

Lucy: But Daddy's downstairs, he can let him in.

Mommy: Um, well, no, see, here's the thing with the Easter Bunny...only mommies can let him in.

Lucy: Oh, ok. Good night, Mommy.

Mommy: Good night, Lulu.
