GARAGE CLEAN-UP & SHOPPING

Mom has dreamed for years of renting a trash bin and cleaning out her garage. So last weekend, the deed was done. Clyde and Clyde suited up in dust masks and gloves and dug in with Mom directing from her "Director's Chair" . . .

While our guys did dirty, hard, sweaty labor, we girls went shopping . . .

Sofia loved these "superstar" glasses, but only tolerated the hat long enough for me to snap a picture . . .

Sofia loves her new purse. While she was distracted in the store, we put it back up on the shelf, believing that at 2 years old, out of sight would be out of mind. Nothing doing, she knows what she likes and we were not getting out of the store without the purse . . .

Since Papa and I have treated Sofia to a chocolate milk the last two times we visited The Galleria, she knows exactly where Starbuck's is and reminded me before we left that there was a tradition here to uphold. Her Mummy said "ok", so we took a chocolate milk break before heading home . . .

With work and shopping behind us, Meredith, Clyde & Sofia joined us for dinner. Sofia had her first hamburger, and loved it . . .

Our girl always looks adorable and stylish when she visits Papa and Geema. It's hard to let a day go by without grabbing the camera and sneaking an outfit-of-the-day picture. Sofia is getting wise to the camera now, though, and getting cute, candid shots is getting harder and harder . . .
