How Lucky We Are That This Is Our Life

This weekend we...

Relaxed at the pool for about 30 minutes in the morning.

Went down the slide 4820 times.

Made beautiful artwork with an interesting technique: Anything anyone else drew got a NOOOO!!! and was instantly scribbled over unless it was Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, or a Mermaid.

Channeled Victoria Beckham and refused to smile for pictures as we posed wearing our favorite necklace.

Laughed when Pappy read a book. A little pee may have come out.

Constructed a stunning castle for our Minnie Mouse dolls. Pappy and Lady were allowed to help.

Shoved the Minnie's out of the way so the real princess could sit in the castle.

Dressed in our best jewelry and favorite glasses to watch the Little Mermaid movie with our mermaid doll, rainbow unicorn purse, iPhone, and $100 bill nearby.

Carefully arranged Disney characters around the tub at bath time - so much thought went into each placement - and then instructed Pappy and Lady that they were NOT to be removed. ("Weave dare Wady!!!") They are still there.

Found our missing cheerleader pom-pom in the shower.

Remembered how lucky we are that this is our life.
