That's what you get for sleeping in....

Sometimes I think getting to sleep in on the weekends is a curse. Don't get me wrong my husband is the most awesomest of the awesome. See every weekend I get to sleep while he gets up with the baby girl. Yeah like every weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday. Pretty much since she was born. I was would nurse and then he would take her. Sigh in jealousy here.  Well I do get up on Father's Day. I am not that heartless. I just need sleep yo!

He claims it is because he is old and wakes up anyway so why not let me sleep. I agree. But this weekend I figured out the real reason.

All before I got up out of bed the following occurred in my household:

A game of CandyLand
A game of Chutes and Ladders
Storytime
Playtime outside on the playground
Hide and Seek in our front and back yard
Pretending the playground was a pirate ship
Pretending the pirate ship was being attacked by an alligator
Killing an alligator

At the end of the morning, while Mommy was still asleep, Lily came in from outside and said "Thanks Daddy. That was fun."

Makes you think you are doing something right huh?

Laser Tag

Our awesome neighbor Nga had a laser tag birthday party for her son Hamilton. This party was kick ass. The company set up laser tag in her yard, brought a bus that was wall to wall video games both inside and out, and to top it off a robot you could ride in and control. AWESOME! Needless to say Lily was the youngest guest. And the only nonsister girl. But my little girl ain't scared.

Dad I got this.....

 And she stands alone.

What these pictures don't show is after this kid above her shoots her. I hide her behind the wall, take her gun, and take matters into my own hands. Da Eads: 1. Kid picking on the two year old girl: 0

She loved the laser tag. I thought she was way to young. And while she had no chance of winning she hung with the boys. With no fear. That's my girl....

Mommy: Daddy
Lily: Who is a big fairy? Like a BIG FAIRY!?
Mommy: What are my choices?
Lily: Daddy. Daddy is a big fairy.

Five minutes later....

Lily: Daddy!!!
Daddy: What's up Lily?
Lily: Daddy? Your hair fall out?

God I love this child. Entertainment (and Daddy torture) for days.

Photoshoot

With the launch of LilyMae I entrusted my dear friend Nicole Faby to take a few shots of me and Lily to help decorate the about pages of the sight. It is kind of hard to take pictures of yourself you know. Not impossible, but not easy.

Here are a few of my favorites! Check out nicolefabyphotography.com and www.LilyMaePhotography.blogspot.com for more

LilyMae PhotoBlog

Well the day is finally here. I warned you changes were coming! I was still on the fence about how exactly I wanted to do my photoblog so it is a little late. A separate site, another page, etc. So I missed my initial roll out of date of my birthday last week. But hopefully it was worth the wait.

Introducing LilyMae my new photoblog!


www.lilymaephotography.blogspot.com

I will still be maintaining this site as well but I encourage you to go over and follow LilyMae in addition to Da Eads. I will be doing a lot more of my projects on that site and fun family posts/journaling on this site.

Enjoy!
