My adventures this week

On Monday the 10th of Aug. mom ventured the crazy idea of taking photos of me and her every morning (and evening if possible) to document each day and what we do during a regular week. It also happened to be teachers appreciation week at my daycare so then she could document that too (she is way too ambitious if  you ask me). If you knew how hurried every morning is in our house and how we almost throw ourselves out of  the door to get mommy to work in time every morning you would know why this was not a good idea. Needless to say, by the time we got to my daycare and had handed off the flowers to one of my teachers mom was already late for work (well, I told you so, didn't I?). No time for pictures of the beautiful flowers we gave the teachers (They are hiding behind us on the photo if you are curious).
 Tuesday morning, the 11th of Aug. Mom smiling and I'm game too since I got to have my pacifier.
Tuesday evening; it was so beautiful out so we went up to the roof and we brought my easel so that I could paint a painting for my teacher to give her later on in the week.
After the painting adventure I had color all over my body and we had to take a bath. Although I still don't like it (I told you about my recent fears of the bathtub didn't I?), I have to say the bubbles makes it pretty cool. Mom and I actually had a lot of fun. Just look at all that "skum" (=foam/bubbles)!
Wednesday morning. Mom tricked me to be in this picture too. I got to hold my rabbit and the blanket and I really don't want to take pictures at this point. Why are we not leaving already?
Thursday morning. This is the only semi-good picture dad was able to capture of me this morning outside my daycare. The other pictures of me (and mom) were not a pretty sight since I decided this really was not a good day to sit and smile to the camera (what a waste of time anyway when there are so many more interesting things to do!). Look at my painting though. Pretty cool, huh? My teacher Megan really liked it.
 
Thursday afternoon; we went to lake Calhoun and although a storm was coming into the city I had enough time by the lake to take a little dip in the water.
Yeah! I love going into the lake. No fear of water here, that's for sure (those bathtubs on the other hand....). After the bath it was time for a little snuggle with daddy.
Friday morning, we made it. This time my prop is a musical book. Say what you will about my mom, but she is rather inventive when it comes to distracting me. Mom got the top and jeans from my aunt Sara in Sweden and it became the perfect Friday outfit.
On Saturday the 15th of Aug. my daycare had arranged a Carnival. There were lots of fun things to do. Before I got started on the activities I had to say hi to my teacher Megan. She is great!
Throwing little sacks of sand in baskets. I neatly carried the sacks all the way to the baskets and placed them in. And then I got a cool price! Who said you have to throw the sacks? 
My friend Soren was there too. We had a lot of fun playing in the water.
Ah, what fun this was. Actually better than all the games they had arranged.
The fishing pond was fun. Look at the little shark I got. It's cute, but it says "Wrahhh"!
Sunday mid morning we went to the Farmers Market with our neighbors Ross, Joanna and Bella.
Here we are eating brunch. The breakfast burrito was tasty....
....and the corn was even yummier!
Here I am with Bella. 
We bought tomatoes, squash and new potatoes. Fun morning and great company!
