Highlights from August and September *Mama's Birthday. Serenity made sure we celebrated my birthday in style. She sang to me a lot, helped Daddy make me Bailey's cupcakes, and helped me blow out my candles. And for gifts, she got me flowers... and jalapenos. My girl knows what I like!
*We did more science experiments, including milk, dish soap and food coloring, and using paper towels to test absorption.
*Eric took Serenity toy shopping and they came home with magformers. I think it's everyone's favorite toy, including Donovan and the adults!
*Samantha's Birthday. We went to Dallas for Samantha's birthday! Serenity was SO happy to get to see Samantha for real! (She pretends Samantha is with her all the time.)
*The Plan of the Day. Sometimes when Serenity is supposed to be in bed, she'll poke her head down the stairs and tell us "The Plan of the Day," which is what she thinks we should do the next day. Once it was "party hat day" and the next day we made party hats and hung streamers!
*Norman Visit/ Baptism. Last weekend we went to OKC for Everett's baptism. We spent the night with Gavin, Jennie and Corwyn. It was so much fun to watch the kids play together! They would all stand by the door and Serenity would shout "ready, set go!" and they'd race! The next day was the baptism. It was so wonderful to get to be there. I am one of Everett's godmothers, and it makes me so happy. I just love that whole family so much and I love being a part of it.
*I think I'm going to start a new photo series of all the crazy ways Serenity falls asleep. This night she got the roof of her book club, which is a giant cardboard book, and spread it out on her pile of pillows for a bed. One night she put a created a box of pillows around herself like a little fort. One night her head was hanging off the bed! It's crazy!
*She's letting me do a lot more things with her hair! She'll sit still for me to braid it! A lot of the time I'll do a little bit of a french braid on ones side to pull back the short bits, and then put it into pigtails! I love it =) I'm still not that good at it but she's SO cute!
