2nd Post: Week in Review

With Spring Break over it was time to head back to school... obviously I wasn't ready to jump right back into the routine!  The first day back I asked to play a board game before school! 

 

and who gets to wear long sleeves after Spring Break in Texas?

It was a beautiful week of California like weather...

Tuesday was ballet...

After ballet we headed to Library time with Maggie from school and since it was the first day of Spring, daddy helped me make a kite (it didn't really fly)...

Wednesday, another long sleeve school day... Crazy for late March!

After school mom took me to buy a REAL kite and I immediately figured out how to fly it...

Thursday was gymnastics with Piper...

and Friday I got to wear long sleeves one last time!

By the time I was done with school it was HOT, so we opened "Milla's car wash"...

ate popsicles...

and finally decided to play with the spray nozzle on the water hose...

All these pictures are amazing to mommy because the past two years any time water has come near my face I have freaked out.  I have never enjoyed getting "sprayed or splashed" and I despised "splash pads"...

But on this day, I was totally ok with getting SOAKED!

and making rainbows in the process...

by the time daddy got home I had the hose and I wasn't afraid to use it!

Milla burrito!

Not sure when this picture was, but it makes mommy laugh... me and my "puppy"...

Puppy kisses!!!!

St. Patrick's Day Pickle Parade

Larry the Leprechaun brought me a few presents on St. Patrick's Day morning...

The best one was a bubble gun!

Mom made green waffles... yum!

and then we got ready for a little road trip...

The company daddy works for (Best Maid Pickles) has it's pickle tanks in Mansfield and this year the city of Mansfield and Best Maid worked together to launch the 1st Annual St. Patrick's Day Pickle Parade!

We were super excited to join the festivities and have a fun St. Patrick's Day Parade alternative to the wild one in Dallas...

Ready for it to start!

We had to wait quite a while before it began, but I was very patient!

Finally we started to see people we knew!  Mr. Gary from daddy's work was the Grand Marshal...

Smiley!

More Best Maid mobiles...

The rest of the parade followed behind and it was mostly pickle themed...

Pickle cars...

The famous motorcycle Elvis's (they were hilarious)...

Lots of pickle themed entries...

Super cute puppies!

and almost everyone was out of candy before they got to us (which I handled remarkably well!)...

After the parade was over we walked over to the after-party for all the parade participants...

It was packed!  This little house was my hideout!

The Pickle Queens arrived... yes these are women... yes they are wearing wigs... they are very interesting!

I still just wanted to be n the house!

The Pickle Queens went up on stage while Best Maid got an award from the City of Mansfield...

Mr. Brian and Mr. Gary on stage...

This is how crowded it got... if you know mom, you know she doesn't do crowds... so we had to bail out... it was just WAY too many people!  But we are so glad we went!  We were all very proud to be part of the Best Maid family!
