So summer started off with a major buzz kill on my end. I ended up fracturing my ankle playing kickball and landing myself this not-so-awesome cardinals red cast:
I was supposed to keep this bad boy on for 6 weeks.... but who wants to wants that?? 2 weeks was long enough for me before I cut the dang thing off myself :) Even with the cast, we were able to visit the drive-in twice, 6 flags (with the help of a motorized scooter, lol), and the Muny.
We also spent A LOT of time hanging out in the backyard. Charlie playing in the pool, while I read a book. Or at least tried to read before Charlie discovered how much fun it was to attack me with a water gun. Just look how evil she is in the bottom picture!

1st REAL haircut with my cousin Takara. I think it is already time for a 2nd visit!
Gotta love the curls :)
Blue Fest 2013
As you can see, its been a pretty uneventful summer.But Charlie has been entertainment enough!
Both videos are from a month or so ago. Since then she has become a pro at her ABC's and can now count to 20+! And if you ask her how old she is, she will gladly tell you "thirty two". Her speech has improved so much, that sometimes I wish she had a MUTE button. Wouldn't that be WONDERFUL :)
Lately, Miss Charlie thinks she can get anything by using the word "please"....
Charlie: Can I have a treat (popsicle)?
Me: No you cannot have a popsicle for breakfast.
Charlie: Please? Please? Please? Please? Pleeeeeeaaaassssseeeee?
OR just last night when we were going to bed...
Charlie: Cory? Can I have a dinosaur?
Me: Nope.
Charlie: Please? Please? Please? Pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee?
You get the picture. This goes on all day long. And if you ignore her, you get "Cory? Hear me? CORY listen!!!"
Notice, she does not call me Mom. Only Cory. And Chuck is no longer Dad, he is now Chucky. Which he hates. And both get us a lot of funny looks from our friends, family, and even strangers.
We also get a lot of "GAWD Cory!!" and "GAWD Chuck!!" which makes me mad and laugh at the same time.
At the beginning of the year, Grandma Jo won a visit from Santa Clause and we are planning on having a Breakfast with Santa at our house this winter for all the kids (SOOO EXCITED!! Mommies, keep an eye out for your invites and skip the lines at Bass Pro!). Well I made the mistake of telling Charlie this, so now every single time she sees a commercial for a toy its "ooh. Charlie (because she always refers to herself in 3rd person) likes that. Charlie tell Santa Clause" So now her Christmas list is the size of a book.
Again, where is the MUTE button. LOL.
Just kidding...maybe. Love you Charlie!! :)
