A Tutu and Tennis-shoes

Today EC and I worked on cleaning out her room. It was time to re-evaluate her wardrobe and get rid of the things she has outgrown/I don't like. I always feel like I have JUST cleaned out her dresser and closets when it's time to go through everything again. It's a never ending cycle. 

Right before we headed upstairs to clean a certain missy had quite the diaper that caused all clothes to be removed for cleaning. Once we were knee deep in clothes she instantly found a tutu that she wanted to wear, along with some new tennis-shoes. No shirt. Of course. I snapped a picture of her sitting {for a split second} and it might be my new favorite picture. 

The belly, the tutu, the shoes, the way she's sitting. I love it all.

Snowstorm Saturn

On Wednesday Northern Virginia was hit by a pretty big snow storm. It even had a name, "Saturn". Which was funny to me, I had no clue that snow storms were named. We got almost eight inches of snow at our house!

When Emma Claire woke up we opened our blinds to show her the snow and she was SO excited. She kept saying "Sssss Sssss" for snow.  Accompanied by pouty lips and dancing of course.

The view from our second floor. The flakes were SO big!

It was truly memorizing. 

I hadn't seen snow like this anywhere except in the mountains on ski trips. This Texas girl wasn't sure what to think!

Emma Claire did what anyone does when it's snowy outside...put on her sunglasses and cowgirl boots, of course!

What our living room looked like all day long, snow outside, baby playing, and messes everywhere.

 It didn't stop snowing all day. We did get out and play a bit but I didn't bring my DSLR because of the moisture. Thankfully the hubs has a lifeproof case on his iPhone. So we did get plenty of snow play pics. However, they're on his phone....and he's at work. So I will have to upload them later and do a separate playing in the snow post!

Say What? My Frist Vlog

Last week I was chatting with some friends about the super popular accent vlog that was going around a while back. I never did one but thought they were fun to watch. So I decided to do one! 

Did any of y'all do one? Do you have an accent?

Braving the Cold

We haven't had great weather recently. It's been super cold. However, yesterday the sun came out and I decided we were going to go play. Cold or not. Tomorrow we are expected to get up to 6" of snow! So I was determined to get some outdoor time in before the blizzard of 2013.

Trying to teach her it's okay to get dirty. She's not convinced. Girlfriend hates having dirt on her hands. 

Bre Comes to DC!

Friday evening EC and I headed to the airport to pick up one of my besties from college, BRE! The last time we saw each other was in the fall of 2010. So needless to say she was more than ready to meet Emma Claire!

We headed out to the airport Friday night to pick Bre up. Emma Claire usually hates the car but was surprisingly good on the way to the airport.

After picking her up all of us girls headed into DC and were able to meet up with the hubs for dinner. EC and Bre were quick friends and had fun together at dinner. 

Saturday morning we got up and headed into the city again to do some sight seeing. It was C-O-L-D outside. But we managed to have a blast.

We stopped in the Natural science museum first. Emma Claire LOVED the big elephant in the entrance. 

 

Strolling around the city

After going to the museum we headed to see the FDR memorial. It's one of the few I hadn't seen. It was pretty empty so EC had the run of the place, which she loved. 

She was seriously obsessed with FDR's dog, fala. She kept patting it, and hugging it, waving, and saying "hi doooog!" 

She loved it so much that it was hard to get her to leave. She kept running right back to the dog. 

The way to get her to leave? A ride on daddy's shoulders. She even loved on his head. It was so sweet.  

They See Me Rollin'....

This morning EC and the hubs had way too much fun. He loaded her up in her block storage tub and rolled her around the kitchen. While he was going a little too fast for my liking she had a BLAST. So of course I grabbed the camera and took way too many pictures.
