Our budding fashionista...

Lately Chloe has been putting together "interesting" combinations of clothing/shoes. These are some new PJs we just got her....she's very excited that they have "feet"! :) And one of her latest activities of interest is using Daddy's tape measure to "check" you....




This morning she decided to put her clomp clomp shoes on over her PJs.....and she's started "cheesing" for the camera.






Last night I heard clomping around upstairs on the wood floor and she came down in this ensemble.....



Posing for the camera.....
(Notice the clear, empty, visible laundry room floor in the background?!)

Late summer's better than no summer at all!

So it seems that we've just received our summer later.....the weather has been quite nice for the past several weeks. Chloe and I took advantage of it yesterday!! We're NOT looking forward to cold snowy winter around here..... Yesterday morning I said to Chloe... "Chloe you're full of baloney!" And her reply was... "No...I not full bloney....I a coffee cat (copycat)" HUH?! I'm looking forward to more exchanges like this one as she tries to converse with us like a grown-up.



I told her to peek-a-boo and she only gave me this very serious face.....


Anytime we see a dandelion we have to pick it and blow on it...


Swinging WITH the ball.... :)



I know these aren't the healthiest snack....


How can you resist that adorable mustache?!





I love the size discrepancy in this photo......no clue that she never even came close to getting a basket....but she was still having fun trying for minutes on end! Wish I had that determination sometimes!!

For those of you in withdrawal.....

Trying to see Mum thru the camera....


Needa go to work, Mum?

Puckered in concentration.....

SERIOUS concentration

Different angle....but I like this one....!

The diva who usually rides in our back seat..... the other night they picked me up from work after dark and she had them on then, too!

A trip to UnderWater World @ MOA

Back around Aaron's birthday (a month ago...I know....I've been neglecting my blog)....we went up to the Mall of America to the Aquarium/Underwater World. It has a long tunnel with a slow moving walkway that takes you through all different tanks of fish.....it's pretty cool.....but definitely not worth the full price tickets. Thankfully I get a Mayo discount! Here are some of the shots I got....





Petting the king crabs.....VERY cold water!!


NEMO!!!! So excited to see Nemo's tank.....
