Grasshead

Also, I had to add this. Sadie brought this home from Kids Count today, and it's the cutest thing I've EVER seen. She said, "It's me. I'm a grasshead. I have earrings." So, I continue to water her, and I've even trimmed her hair to punk her up a bit. Isn't it adorable?

Dop Do Do Dop...

I caught Sadie doing this act over and over in the mirror tonight, so I grabbed the video camera. As you can see, it didn't phase her.

Summer's coming!

Grandma Brenda's been after me to get blogging, so I thought I'd share a few things Sadie's been up to. First of all, she is more than excited to be starting kindergarten in the fall. She is constantly asking us one question about it, however, "Do they have lockers at Glendale?" I don't know the answer to that, but I just don't have the heart to tell her that while they might have lockers there, none of them will be painted pink and large enough to house feather boas, tiaras, and several changes of clothing like Sharpay's does... Oh well.

Sadie has taken several trips in the last month, one to Fairmont to play with her buddies E and Bubby, and one to the Children's Museum with her cousin, Finners.

You can see her in Fairmont, eating at one of Mommy's favorite spots and former place of employment, The Channel Inn. Best burgers anywhere. Period.

She also adored the Children's Museum, which she calls the Clifford Museum. Which is a little weird considering that when Clifford was making the rounds giving kids hugs and high-fives, Sadie was cowering behind the counter of the fake sushi restaurant in terror. She's not a huge fan of men or women dressed up in furry costumes with large foam heads.

Easter Ebola...

Here's our little bunny, enjoying yet another Easter! This Easter started with a kick, as I looked over from the stove where I was boiling eggs and making dinner to find Sadie with her mouth open and red liquid pouring out. I screamed, thinking she had bitten off her tongue or contracted Ebola, and ran to carry her to the sink. When we made it to the bathroom, I saw a "dye drop" fall out of her mouth, and then figured that she had eaten the red egg dye pellet. Panic then hit me, thinking that perhaps it was poisonous! (It was luckily, all natural). No harm was done except a little pink spot on the carpet and a temporarily dyed chin, neck and tongue. When Sadie returned from her dad's, she hunted all over the house and found a plethora of Play-dough-filled eggs and her basket, which contained a new swimsuit, coverup, and Pippi Longstocking, the movie! (We just finished reading the book!) We are now anxiously awaiting spring (and summer, actually)!

Sadie's Spring Break Play Dates, Part II

Thursday's play date was fun for Mommy, too, because she got to spend time with her college friend, Libby, and her daughter, Leah at the Minnesota Zoo. Leah and Sadie hit it off right away and were holding hands walking through the zoo before we knew it! (It was so darling!) We went to the bird show (which was a little traumatic for Mommy, as you may know of her aversion to birds) and walked through the indoor sites, due to the frigid, Spring Break 09 weather. It was very fun, and we even ran into Phil and his Kindercare kids who were enjoying a field trip there, as well!

Oh yeah...

I forgot to mention that in the bottom photo, I wanted to show you that during the two days of glorious spring weather we had on Saturday and Sunday, Sadie took her bike for a spin!

Sadie's Spring Break Play Dates Part I

Here they are... the couple of the year! Sadie's best friend who's a boy (not to be confused with Morgan, her best friend who's a girl) came for an all-day playdate on Wednesday. Ryan and Sadie played Barbies, played "home living" in the kitchen, drew on the easel, watched a movie, and did some yoga with mommy as the "instructor." They had a great time, and when Ryan's mom, Katie, came to pick him up, they didn't want it to end, so Sadie went over there for dinner and a little more fun! What a day!
