Labor Day Weekend 2009

]
We had a fun Labor Day weekend with Michael's Family in town. We did a picnic at Pullen Park near NCSU. It was a beautiful day and we found a shaded spot next to a pond with "FISHIES" which pleased Lilybug. She ran around and refused to eat the lovely display Mommy prepared straight from KFC. How Rude! But we were drawn to Pullen because it has an awesome play ground we wanted to try out along with a Carousel and Train. We did not get to the play ground but the other two were awesome and cheap! Only a buck a person to ride. We will definitely be going back.

Standing in line for the Carousel.

Carrousel was really cool. Too Bad she didn't agree. She only cried occasionally but I got one little outburst!

I struggled through the whole ride to get her to look at me for a picture. Everywhere I would stand she would look the other way. The little stinker! This was at the end of the ride I tricked her and ran to the other side. This was as good as it got!

Da Eads getting ready for the Choo Choo!

Rock on Train!

Not super thrilled to be on the train but not mad. An improvement from the line which equaled mad. Mad, hot, and thirsty. I was skeptical about how this was going to play out but she seemed to enjoy the breeze and the scenery. She even waved at a few people as we passed them.

I finally got her to sleep about three for her nap. Just a few hours overdue you think? She had hit her limit and resorted to screaming and flailing...que nap. So peaceful...when she is sleeping.

We ended the weekend with a Durham Bulls Game. Our first in many years (2?). With being pregnant and then having a newborn it was not easy to make it out there. We love going though so it was a treat. Our seat were amazing and it was only 11 dollars each. We were first three rows on the visitor bench. Got some good shots!

Grandpa loving at the game

"It's not easy being Big" Her favorite book.

I love this pic even though it is not that flattering. Michael is so handsome in it!

The Lemonade was a special sweet treat she LOVED! She drank this whole cup.

This is what she did the majority of the game...Looked at her Elmo/Big Bird Book. This is the flavor of the week in the Eads Household. We must read this book continuously for an hour each day.

Only eyes for Mommy

Complete Cuteness

Lily was really good...most of the time. Look at this pitiful face! This sadness was all over a straw. Poor baby right?

Happy Labor Day!

It was an exhausting weekend and we got nothing done around the house. But sometime it is just nice to spend time together and do fun stuff. The park and the game made the weekend fabulous. I am sad to see the summer go but am looking forward to fall fun. This month we have the Pumpkin Patch and next month Halloween. We decided on a Halloween costume and I can't wait to roll it out!

Hello Lover.....

Dear PC,

You were a work horse for so many years. By work horse I mean you let me facebook stalk, check my email and pay a bill or two. It is hard to say goodbye but alas it must be done. I have grown. Many things in my life have change post baby including my love of photo and video. Your 60 GB hard drive is almost laughable. I need more than you can offer so I feel we must sever all ties. It's not you...it's me. Really it is. I swear no one will ever replace you.

Good bye comfortable relationship......

Hello lover......

Yes I admit it...there was someone else.

Someone twice your size with a 640 GB hard drive....yes ten times more than you could ever offer me. What can I say? I like them big, bright and with lots of built in features.

Don't be mad...my brother made me do it.

Love Always,

The new and improved iMac Eads Family

Lily's First Hair Cut!

My child has a mullet. Let me rephrase. HAD a mullet. You know the old fashion 'Business in the front and Party in the Back' Mullet. So against the wishes of ....well just about everyone I took her to get her femullet under control. That is what Mommy's are for! To make sure you do not make those big fashion mistakes until you are least in your teens.

We went to Snip Its in Raleigh which is a kid place that charges way too much to take five minutes with your kids. But to put it in percepective it is still a third of what my haircuts costs. I had a coupon for half off so that made the deal sweeter.

The place is very bright and kid friendly. At the end of the hair cut we got a certificate and a few locks of hair to keep. She got to explore the "prize" machine that made such a loud noise upon launch that it sent her running in the opposite direction...until she spotted the plastic lizard it spit out for her "great" performance.

She did wonderful. Did not cry once. She looked a little skecptical to begin with as you can see below but she was never upset.

She was in a great mood though...it helped to sleep on the way to the salon!

Here are some snap shots

Looking at Uncle Kevin who tagged along. She loves her Uncle Kevin!

Realizing it would be nice to have the hair out of her eyes. OMG my mother used to say "get your hair out of your eyes" all the time! The circle of life!

Cleaning up the natural layers

All done! So pretty!

Our eccentric Stylist...fun but odd. She did a great job!
