Coloring, Avocados and Closet Organization
Another weekend down. We got to skype with Ben's parents today and work out plans for a couple visits (super excited!!!). They are going to come visit us this coming weekend and we will be heading to Huntsvegas for a visit in July.
Ben and I got bit by the organization bug today and finally finished sorting out our closets and getting them organized. We are definitely blessed with having 2 walk in closets in the master bedroom. The extra space has been a huge life saver. While we were organizing Mia occupied herself in her room coloring. She is doing such a great job working on being meticulous and staying inside the lines. She is also to the point where she has the attention span to actually color the entire picture (and actually gets irritated if interrupted) rather than coloring a little on each page. :)
We also went to the pool (of course) and decided to go ahead and get Mia a set of arm floats. She gets very frustrated at the pool since she is stuck to a noodle or other type of floating device. I'm not a big fan of the arm bands, but we'll try them out and see how they work. She can't wait for swimming lessons so she can be more independent and play with the other kids.
Tonight's dinner was "fresh tacos" ... carb friendly/whole wheat tortillas, chicken, avocado, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, purple onion and hot sauce. So very yummy and Mia tried an avocado for the first time!
I visited Target today - it was ummm... very disappointing actually. It reminded me of the Walmart on Drake Avenue in Huntsville. Hopefully there is another one in town, but I haven't looked yet.
This weekend was wonderful - full of pool perfect weather and lots of down to earth family time. Nothing much out of the ordinary. I'm glad we are starting to settle into a routine ... still waiting for this all to feel real tho.

Richland Mall
A few days ago Mia found out from a catalog we received in the mail that Build-A-Bear now carries both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony (which happens to be her absolute favorite cartoon). As soon as she saw this she knew exactly where her money was going. After counting her coins and being told that yes, she had enough for the doll but not for all of the accessories shown in the pictures she decided that she did indeed have to have her very own. So off we went to Richland Mall today to get a Rainbow Dash. After building said pony (who was named "Lily Rainbow Dash Dyer") we walked around for a bit and then she played in the play area and by play I mostly mean she chased a little boy around while growling at him. Yes - growling - she was the monster and he was the scared little boy. LOL
Obviously we didn't get to go to Dallas after all. The weather didn't end up being bad but I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to possible storms - especially with a 2 hour drive. Hopefully the forecast will settle down and we'll make it up there soon.
T-Ball starts Tuesday and swimming the week after. We are getting really excited about that! Not only will Mia be around other kids and Ben and I around other adults but it will also be great to get back into a weekly routine! Yippee!
