Feeling a Little Guilty...

I've felt a little guilty for the past few days. I've been super busy trying to get these projects started and finished that I haven't put in enough "Libby" time. I've been in the garage and she will stay in the house playing Barbies, dress up, coloring and watching cartoons (I told myself I would cut down the amount of TV this summer).  She's been a trooper through all of this painting mess. She watched me paint for a while in this very-uncomfortable-Alabama-heat.

Then she decided this was so boring and HOT. She asked if she could paint, so I set her up at the kitchen table. And I don't know why I decided to get her dressed right before painting? Especially in a WHITE outfit. The fumes must have gotten to me.

And here she is thinking, "Come on Mom, I'm so bored I just put stickers up my arm, please put the paint brush down and lets play princess!"

And FYI- This is the last time Libby had her paci! Isn't that the most exciting things ever!!


She's definitely asked for it, but I just tell her "I don't know, babies only have pacis." It seemed to work! Crossing my fingers it works FOREV.ER! She's been going to bed without her paci for the past 2 nights! Yay! And we haven't been woken up to, "Mommy where's my paci?"

So back to me feeling like I've been a bad Mommy-

Wednesday Libby and I were ready to get out of the house and do something fun and FREE. I've been wanting to take her to story time at the Auburn Public Library all summer, but for some reason we've never made it. It's every Wednesday at 10 a.m, and we finally made it this Wednesday! And Libby loved it just like I thought she would.

The theme was the Beach. The librarian read 3 books about the Beach, and they all sang 2 songs. I wish I got  the songs on video. Libby had "If You're Happy and You Know It" down pat! It was the cutest! At the end they had 2 tables set up with a art activity on it. A sandcastle. How appropriate!

After "story time" Libby went to play legos with some girls. And we also went and picked out a few books to read. We sat at a table and read several books. She was in heaven! She loves being read to. I think I get asked to read "Cinderella" around a 100 times a day. :-)

I was very happy to know that we can add another activity on our list of "Things to do" this summer.

Since I am finished with all of my projects (as of right now). We are going to spend the day doing fun stuff! We have a picnick planned at the park today, and maybe a visit to Frog Legs!
