just a little gardening......

aaron and i have indulged in gardening just a little this year....like the new look for the house? i mean who really needs siding, windows or even a door for that matter......
we discovered this house when we first moved into the hood and fell in love with it.....lets say this people really live here how we are still trying to figure that out.....but at night if you drive by you can see lights shining through the ivy.....
aside from driving by crazy peoples houses we have been taking LOTS of walks......
sadie grabs my shoes and her shoes right after dinner and runs to the door were if she lucky she will actually open the door and head for the stairs
first thing we do on our walks is visit our neighbors ceramic bunnies than we head down to the lake for a good deal of rock collecting
at least once a week now sadie has a friend sam come over to play with the rocks
sam is just about to turn 2 and when asked about sadie he says "sadie fun"
there you go do i need to say anymore.......
the other place sadie and i go for walks is at the metroparks....they have nice paved paths which she likes to run on......collect leaves and scream every time she sees a dog
we are enjoying summer......though it is hard to believe fall is around the corner you can smell it....

8 more days and i am back in school.....think i am counting the days.......
so there will be daddy sadie nights again and lets say i think the two of them are really looking forward to getting me out of the house
sadie has declared her independence with a vengance which has been great to watch but that girl is on a mission

thats all for this week....
still working on the house as always....going to start some inside soon along with replace the lean toos roof oh i mean the garage roof
enjoy the days get some fresh corn and take a walk

overpowered by FUNK!

oh the little executive and ALL her power














yes sadie is taking typing classes so she can email elmo all her deepest and darkest secrets
aside from her taking control of the world through the internet she has been giving some many HUGS!
she still tries to chase after frankie to give her a hug which frankie is still running away from frantically........
sadies new big thing is zerberts (sp) and if anyone out there knows the right way to spell zerbert aka raspberry than you will win a free date with SADIE
yes it is an all inclusive package that comes with diaper changes, hugs, zerberts, flung food, lots of talk about elmo and perhaps if you are lucky a kiss
sadie is really into dancing right now
she can say the word dance than she starts to shake her little booty to the beat and stomp her feet
our friends gave us a BUNCH of electronic music equipment so we have a keyboard and a guitar
she buts the keyboard on the samba beat ups the tempo and starts playing while dancing!
so our baby gots a lot of funk in her dance step
we are hoping to take her to a blues band on wed eve so she can really get her groove going
when she makes an interesting note she exclaims in awe "WOW"
it is fun to watch
so....here you go..........
enjoy

oh the places you may go....

everyday sadie gets a little wiser and little more opinionated
don't think she would of gotten that stubborn streak from either of her parents but who knows
lets see
nothing much happening no wildlife scares this week
we did have a good weekend it was mostly a husband appreciation weekend which was fun
aaron played out at the beachland on friday night
so i actually got a chance to see them in over a year!
they were wonderful and brought in the biggest crowd
go rock n roll daddy!
i ended up staying up WAY past my bed time which i have to say is typically 9:30/10:00
not sure what i am going to do when school starts which is scary to say but i only have three more weeks of school freedom before i have to sit in on a very very slow moving library class
which does not end till 10:00 so i will not be getting home till 11:00
UGH!
well only two more years i hope
anyways sadie is talking a lot and conducting imaginary play which is hoot to watch
she likes to sing and make her doll "lola" dance
this also gets her laughing real good
which than makes aaron and i laugh
she has decided brown and white food is the BEST to eat unless its pizza than she indulges in other colors of food
she has also discovered her tunnel
so we hung out almost ALL day on sunday outside playing with the balls and running in and out of tunnel
this is a good age squashing flowers, making mud pies and chasing mom in and out of the tunnel
that is about all for now enjoy the movie and the pictures



PS: one of these things is not like the other?
