One good shot...

Sometimes people remark that they are impressed with my daughter's willingness to have pictures taken of her.
HA!!!
Just to get one decent shot of my new three year old, we had to go through these...
My goal in picture taking is to get one good shot.

This was the last one I took in this comical series....
Maybe it was the last, because I stopped when I got one good shot.

Singing in the rain...

After having experiencing quite a drought in SW Louisiana earlier this summer, Giannaa started to notice the grass and the plants weren't looking very healthy. When I told her they were dying because they were not getting enough water, she started praying for rain. She'd bow her head, fold her hands, close her eyes and say, "Dear God, please send rain for the plants don't die."

They nexr day she was walking around in her rain boots and I asked her why she them on she said,
"It's going to rain today."
"Really?" I asked.
"Remember I prayed for rain?"

Ahhh....to have such faith!

It didn't rain that day, but it did several days later.  She was SO excited and exlaimed, "Mommy! God heard my prayer!!!"

So we definitely had to show our appreciation by 'Singing in the Rain."
She actually loves the movie (we've let her watch all the musical numbers) and knows the song.


 Thunder still gets her a little nervous (since our dern firework nightmare) but she's definitely getting better.
After the really loud claps we usually hear...

Old School Crafts

Our friend and babysitter bought Gianna a set of Disney Princesses on her recent trip to the magic kingdom.  Gianna has been playing with them non-stop, so we thought the princesses needed a home of some sort.  I took a shoe box and some scrapbook paper and made an old-fashioned diorama/castle.  Gianna got quite a kick out of the process.....and the result.

Fingerpainting Fun

They were chomping at the bit to get to the sun porch where the paint was...
John Paul was the perfect finger-painter...even though he sported a fake, temporary head wound.
 Sophia painted longer than anyone else, and made strides in actually getting paint ON her fingers....
 Therese decided blue paint dipped in crayon was a fabulous creation...
 Elise didn't get a drop of paint on her...
 And her sweet baby brother was great inspiration for their art...
And then there's Gianna...

I shouldn't even have to tell you what her experience was like. (Or MINE for that matter!)
I'm sure her painting is still not dry -- even three days later. 
 Thanks, Kate, for lunch, and for hosting this brave little art party.

Lots going on...

....just no time to post about them.

Until then, I thought maybe a shot of my 'freshly three' munchkin might tie you over.
