What do you get.....

when you combine just about the cutest 3 yr old & sidewalk chalk one day and a water hose and wiggly dog the next??           

Besides adorable photos???  Giggles and good times!!!

We were able to pick up Kaytey Friday afternoon and have her over night.  We stopped at Mel's dad's work for the baseball themed party after picking her up.  And she promptly proved she's related to me!  She started collecting all of the baseball confetti to bring home.  :)

Then a stop at Wal-Mart.  For a cute little pink bag for her to use from now on when she comes to our house.  $50 dollars later..... she also had a purse, Cinderella cell phone, jewelry, new shoes, Little Mermaid lighted singing microphone and sidewalk chalk.  

Let me point out that I've said before that I intend to spoil her since we share a birthday.  She tried really hard to get 2 pairs of shoes as well as a matching wallet to her purse.  Gotta give her credit for trying!  Mel & I stuck to our guns, mostly, and told her to pick a purse & I'd make her a wallet.  And when she wanted pink princess sunglasses she was told she'd have to put back the microphone.  The microphone stayed.  I talked to Mel about not always spending money on her when we have her.  His response "Oh, you won't have to worry about me not spending money!"

He says it.  But he was the one that kept saying she could have the larger (more expensive) purse and said "let her have both of them"  He's such a softie!  But who wouldn't be with a cutie like this asking so sweetly??!
