Happy (Late) Birthday to Allisyn!!

It has been a busy week and a half! On top of our usual routines with Allisyn's birthday and the 4th we have been really busy!!

The 2nd was Allisyn's 3rd birthday!! It is so hard for me to believe that she is 3!! That day Mam-maw and Aunt Katy came up for the weekend. Me, mom and Piper went and had lunch with her at MDO! We brought cupcakes to celebrate! She came home with us early and was surprised to see her Aunt Katy when we got home!! Then we had a joint party with her friend M who turned 3 on the 1st. It was a lot of fun! There were 16 kids who got to do the craft plus Piper and M's little brother A who were too little. Piper did a lot of playing though so she didn't miss out on too much!

Friday was really hot so we just went out to eat for lunch. Then we headed to our friends from church celebration. It was a good time! Food, fun, Christian fellowship, and an up close display of fireworks! Allisyn even got to help her daddy set a few off! I'll post pics soon!

The 4th, Allisyn, me, my mom, and Katy went to lunch at POPS! It was crazy busy and a bit overwhelming, but we enjoyed it! Then we went to Libertyfest. It wasn't all to great, so we went to dinner. It stormed while we were eating. Then we went and walked around Target and on our way out decided we would follow the few others who were camping out in the parking lot to watch the display. It was a pretty good spot! It was a little crazy getting out, but not too terribly bad. The girls did pretty well with the show. Allisyn said it was a little too loud, but she didn't get too upset. Piper just clapped and got excited!

Sunday was a beautiful day with glorious weather so we headed to the zoo. On the train ride the conductor said it was unusually slow for a Sunday afternoon in the summer. We didn't mind! The bad part of the weekend is that we didn't make it to church because both girls were in desperate need of sleep. Allisyn probably would have slept through in the evening, but Piper is like her momma in that she wakes up whenever you get anywhere and is just crabby.

Yesterday we took it easy and just stayed around home. We took a nice walk in the evening to continue to enjoy the weather.

Today it was back to MDO for Alli. Then on to her well-child checkup. She is 41lb and 40 inches. They didn't tell us where that puts her on the chart. It was a new nurse. Alli had to get one shot, and she was not happy. The whole office heard about how she doesn't like shots on our way out. Luckily and ice cream cone provided a much needed distraction for her.

Monday night also began our first night and getting her to sleep in her own bed. It was an on and off battle that ended up with her in our bed because she leaked out of her night time pull up. Tonight she went on to bed on her own! For 5 minutes! Then she wanted us. She came in with us until she fell asleep and was moved into her bed and she is still there at 1 am!!

Well that is a little update. I will try to get pictures up soon. I would do it now, but I don't have my glasses on and I need them to see which pictures are what!!
