Wishing well

This week I went to the mall and made some wishes in the fountain. Did you know that you could do that? You can go to the fountain in the mall, throw in a few coins, and anything you wish for will come true!

It's important to concentrate really hard on what you are wishing for, just to make sure it comes true. I give my coins some extra good mojo before I throw them in.

I bet you are curious to know what I'm wishing for. Well, when I tell you, you may think you see something in the backround (that Mom points out) but go ahead and ignore that.

See?! Wishes do come true!

Party Girl

This weekend my cousin Mikey had a party to celebrate his graduation from his Pre-K class. Can you imagine already graduating from preschool and getting ready to start Kindergarten? Mikey is so much older and wiser than me.

My cousin Noah was awesome because he kept letting me pour water on his head and he stayed with me in the shallow end even though he totally knows how to swim.

This was where Dad thought Mom was just taking a picture of him, but he had no idea that lurking behind him was a genius sneaker-upper getting ready to scare the pants off him. This was the before picture...I can't even show you the after picture! (And it's not just because Mom didn't get one. Really.)

Mikey even had a blow-up jumpy castle. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I have never been a fan of the jumpy castles. I just wasn't sure about them. At first, I was completely content just to jump on the entryway to the castle, not actually IN the castle.

But Auntie Heather and Grandma finally convinced me to give it a try, and let me tell you, I am so glad they did! I had no idea what I was missing! To think I wasted three whole years staying out of them. Now I just need to convince Mom and Dad to get one for the back yard. And maybe a pool too. And a slide. And a swing set while we're at it. What? Am I not worth it?! I thought so.

Out to Dinner

This weekend I decided to take Mom and Dad out to dinner. The picture below was where Dad mentioned that since dinner was my idea, I should have to pay for it.

Mom said that I can wait to start paying for dinners until I'm rich and famous. So like next week.

I decided that dinner was getting a little boring so I went exploring under the table. It's like a whole other world under there! I expected to find some hidden treasure or something, but all I found was old gum. Oh well.

This was when I started eating my spaghetti. You know how I love pasta.

And this was after a few minutes. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but let's just say I even had pasta on the inside of my dress. I'm extra talented when it comes to messy eating.

Family Reunion

This weekend was the Baum Family Reunion, which is my Grammy's side of the family. It was a picnic, and I love anything picnic related. Here I am before we went in, just practicing my 'cool' look. I think I've pretty much got it down.

Here I am with Cousin Cassidy in our awesome matching shirts. Notice that I wouldn't even put my cookie down to take a picture. I had four hundred a couple of cookies that day.

And of course I had to take a picture with my favorite person ever, my Auntie. I think we are pretty darn photogenic, don't you?

Here is the most adorable group of kids ever. We really upped the cuteness factor of this picnic, let me tell you.

So if you are ever having a picnic and just need someone to come class it up a bit, go ahead and give me a call. My rates to make an appearance are very reasonable.
