Lovin' life, weekend style

We still have a couple of free kids meal Valentines from GranJan, and Lucy begged for Frisch's spaghetti on Friday night so off we went...
We ordered the invitations for her birthday party at the begining of March but they took their sweet time printing and shipping (and making mommy sweat) but they finally arrived on Friday night so we stuck them in the envelopes and dropped them off at the post office on the way to dinner. 
(Can't believe my baby is almost one!!!!)
We went to the new Frisch's by our house but it looked like there was a long wait so we headed down to the one in Cold Spring...turns out the wait looked just as long but it wasn't bad - we waited a couple of minutes, max, and Lucy had enough to look at during the wait that it wasn't an issue for her!
Luckily she packed some snacks and her water cup because Lucy knows exactly what it means to be in a high chair: "FEED ME!" and she doesn't fully understand cooking time!

















We saw Uncle Bob-o come in as we were leaving but didn't realize the rest of the crew was inside somewhere and missed out on a little visit with them...sorry, A!
As soon as Lucy scarfed down her spaghetti, it was time to go!

Saturday started with a splash:
Swim lessons are so much fun!  Lucy really loves swimming with her daddy:






















She really liked holding onto the noodle this week (her they are swimming with their friends Jill and Reese!)






















At one point, they passed out balls but ran out and pulled out a few ducks for those who didn't get a ball - Lucy was in heaven!  She'll take a duck over a ball any day!
After swimming, we went home to play then nap and eat lunch before us girls headed out to do some shoe shopping!  I got my shoes for Katie's wedding (Lucy helped me decide between two pair!) and we had Lucy's foot sized at Stride Rite.
Here she is as we walked in:






















Yes, she is wearing brown pants...but her shirt has a big heart on it...that is made up of many small hearts!  Very girly...yet the sales lady repeatedly referred to Lucy as "he" and "him" and I couldn't believe it.  We let the lady measure her foot and then we were out of there...they were having a sale but the shoes still would have been $30 a pair and we found some cutie little New Balance gym shoes down the road at Shoe Carnival for fifteen bucks...and let me tell you!  This girl LOVES her new shoes!  She loves taking them out of the box, bringing them to you, pointing to her foot (or just setting the shoe on top of her foot) to indicate that she wants it on, then clumsily walks about with them on before taking them off to repeat the process.

We were probably gone a little longer than we should have been but Lucy fell asleep on the way home and I was hoping she'd get her regular nap.  I dropped her off at home with her daddy and went to Kroger but I'm told she woke up soon after drop off...this worried us since she was having company - Grandma Terry was coming to watch her while mommy and daddy bowled.
But she was nice to her grandma!  Yay!  And we had her start the bedtime routine about 25 minutes earlier than normal to try to get a leg up on the whole "spring forward" thing...time will have to tell us if that little trick worked...

On Sunday, Lucy wasn't feeling her best anyway so her nap schedule was pretty erratic.  She was supposed to come with me to meet CB and her mommy and a friend, Becky, from SablĂ©ux, but she and daddy were fast asleep in the chair in her room so I went alone.  When I got home, I couldn't find my family anywhere...until I heard my name being called from the park across the street...
Lucy had talked her daddy into going out to play!  Wheeee!

Later, Lucy and I sat on the porch and shared a Popsicle but that wasn't enough for her...she wanted to spend even more time outside...


















(even though it was pretty sunny!)
She was happy and ready to roll...we walked for about a half an hour before her eyelids started getting heavy, so I reclined her seat:


















Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But by the time we got back home 40 minutes later, she was awake again, and loving life:
Hope your weekend was wonderful, too!
