the afton adventures continue

last saturday we were catching up on some much-needed yard work. unfortunately the backyard was retaining some moisture from the last rain, which made it a bit muddy in spots. of course afton gravitated toward the mud puddles. she ended up with soaking wet and muddy clothes. i shrugged because, hey, they were filthy already so why not just let her have fun? but that wasn't good enough for affy. she ended up stripping (yes, diaper too) and sitting in a little muddy pool of water and said she was "swimming." we eventually had to hose her off outside because she was such a mess. it was a little chilly that day, and the hose water was icy, but she was in heaven. my little fish.

yesterday i was (clear throat) bleaching some "stubborn hair" (as it says on the box) and afton and her little friend alex were utterly intrigued. i said it was lotion, but they wouldn't let it go. "i want lotion too."

*no babies were bleached in the making of this post

"how 'bout eggs?"

" i'm confused, what does that have to do with the resurrection?"

"i don't know, we'll hide 'em."

" don't worry, there's a bunny."

our last-minute getaway

we decided to go to disneyland during tim's spring break. so glad we did! we had fun, and here are the pictures to prove it!mia in front of the waterfall at california adventure.

disclaimer: i got the girls cheap-o character shirts at walmart to wear one of the days we were there. now they are jammie shirts (we don't wear character clothing usually).
afton's own personal disneyland...i let her play in one of the water fountains while we waited for the big girls to get off a ride. her hair was wet by the time we were done here (of course).

the big cheese himself.

the wannabe big cheese. tim had a fun time too.

afton was thrilled that she got to meet "her sleeping booty." although she was speechless and shy in her presence, she is still talking about it.

for those of you who know afton, you know this is the perfect toy for her. it's her "sleeping booty with a la la dress" that spins and lights up when you push a button. she's obsessed with it.

the obligatory pose in front of the mouse-shaped flowers. really though, the landscape is gorgeous there.

riding on mark twain's riverboat during a very sunny moment of our trip. tim's parents were able to join us and it was their first time to disneyland...they had a blast (but how could you not?).

afton had more fun climbing on this stationary dumbo than the flying one.

tuck and his first pair of ears. it was the happiest place on earth only when out of his stroller.


we've decided to begin saving up for our next trip, and we'd like everyone to join us next time!!
