The Most Beautiful Girl in the World

I love my kid. Seriously love her. How could you not? She's so smart and funny, thoughtful, empathetic, sweet, and absolutely beautiful. Sure she's a monster sometimes, but it only makes me love her more. Even when I tell her to leave her shoes on at the park...


...and she doesn't. She's independent and knows what she wants (at least that's what I tell myself when she does the exact opposite of what I ask). I figured: what's a little bare foot time going to hurt?



At least she knows she's a monster. Me: Whatcha doing munchkin? Bonnie: I not a munchkin, I just a monster. I Bonnie.

And I love her.



Just because I got so many good shots today, here are a couple more:

Lazy Sunday

There's nothing better than a lazy Sunday... except a lazy Sunday when you know you don't have to set your alarm for Monday morning :) We went to church this morning, then lunch at Sweet Tomatoes, then lounged around all afternoon. Nothing new, which is nice in a way.


Just a bunch of silly faces and relaxing :)

Roar!

This will be a quick one. It's a Saturday. Of a three day weekend. With no homework. I'm going to be lazy and read or watch TV. But I had to post a pic of my cutie in her lion costume... almost two months early for Halloween. And she slept in it.


Crazy for sure, but still painfully cute.

Dreary Mondays on a Friday?

Who knows where the name came from?! It's a Friday afternoon and I'm actually watching my daughter dance naked (with a purple scarf flowing in the air) to Mary Poppins. Not so dreary... but Mondays can be, start of a new work week after the weekend spent with family, the start of the new school week with a new (usually gigantic) load of schoolwork, being all too certain there will be no chance of sleeping in for at least five days (soon to be six when I start fall term with a class on Saturday mornings), plus I live in the Pacific Northwest where nine months of the year Mondays are usually dreary (along with Tuesday thru Sunday). Anyways, it's just a name don't read too much into it.
