playing with water

Where are my pics Mom?

Unfortunately I can't continue my blogging streak because my mom hasn't emailed me the pics from her iPad...... I think I will start texting HER about my blog......

Where are my pics Tracy? hahahahahaha!

Pilj'd and a icecream sandwich

The Pilj kids love Marren! She will go around the house saying, "Shaelea, Giacomo". We went out for swimming, dinner and games. Marren had fun.
First ice cream sandwich: She ate all her dinner without complaint (as usual) and got a treat!

I think she enjoyed it......

.......She asked for ice cream the whole way home.

Marren and Hadley at the ballpark

Marren went to the ballpark for the first time. I think she liked it. I will say she asked for me to wipe her when she had dirt on her hands.......

Pretty Hadley

Honestly, Marren wasn't very good. (A First, no doubt, no lie!) She didn't like being on the blanket during the game. Since I had both girls, I couldn't just let her go. Plus lily white Hadley would have burned out of the shade.

She behaved better when banished to the stoller with the "Evil Queen" book

Playing with Tom

Marren likes to play with Tom and Jerry. Well, Tom will play with Marren, Jerry runs away. Marren provides long leaves for Tom to bat and when Tom tires of the proffered item, he usually takes a swipe at Marren. She tells on Tom to me says, "Tom bites!" and I tell her to be nice. She is fearless. Marren doesn't run away from Tom. I personally think Tom is hoping she does so he can pounce.

Stinky stinky turtle

I don't know when I became the mom that stopped for every creature or bug so Marren could inspect it... I guess I don't want her to be fearful of harmless bugs... I turned around for a tiny turtle in the road that I originally thought was a spider... Yes I would have stopped for a spider that big too! Anyway, turtles are smelly. I nearly gagged. I don't remember them being so nasty. We used to hunt turtles all the time for the Okie spirit parties. I put him in the front yard and let Marren play with it. It peed all over her! She loved it. I almost freaked though when she tried to kiss it. Hand washing and a bath that night still didn't totally take the stench away. Two days later, we spied a large snapping turtle and Marren only chased it. Yuck!
