Grandmama's visit part I

I forgot to get all the photos off of the Grandmama's camera before she left. She has hundreds. I have 15 and none of them include the Grandmama. There will be another part to this post once I get those photos. It was a short, quick visit, but Penelope had a great time. They went to the park A LOT! My mom called it a park marathon. They also read Penny's favorite books over and over again. If you'd ever like a memorized recitation of I Love You Through and Through or All About Baby please contact me or my mom.

On Saturday we spent the day cleaning. Penelope is getting to the "I want to help" age. Why not start her off with the jobs we hate?
(disclaimer: the toilet was already cleaned with lysol. She just had fun swirling the brush in the soapy water)

The Grandmama and Penelope had fun drawing and painting...or keeping the markers and paint out of Penelope's mouth.
The weather was great. We took Penelope on a walk when I got home. Supposedly she walked all the way from the park. Well, when I was there she didn't want to get in the stroller or walk. Nope, she decided to sun herself on the sidewalk 2 blocks away from the house. Why is she stubborn with me?!
Here's my Mommie Dearest photo. Love the Gap! We have matching shirts.
Yay! Zoo day! (Or as I call it "The Day Penelope Allowed a Barrette in Her Hair"
Beautiful flowers at the Como conservatory
Awww...sweetheart
Mommy, Penny and the buffalo

Aw she looks so cute with a barrette! (Did I spell that right?) and I don't know if you saw my response on my blog
so I'll post it here....you should know all about being photogenic with that beautiful smile of yours! And Penny is following right in your footsteps!

(Love that she decided to sun herself. Ha ha that's awesome!)
