Rained Out Tennis Pro Takes a Nap with her Friend

I was scrolling through some pictures from the weekend and, although it was uneventful in the grand scheme of things, it was still a silly weekend in the "life of a toddler" kind of way.

On Saturday, OG, dada and I wanted to get out of the house but spotty storms were in the forecast. We played indoors most of the day but decided to go out for an early dinner somewhere with outdoor seating - just to get SOME fresh air while the getting was good!  The Doppler gave us a thumbs-up, so we were off.

OG decided to wear her:
-Whale plaid applique t-shirt
-Teal floral shorts
-SO MUCH EXCITEMENT ON HER FACE!!

ENERGIZED BY THE SUN!

 (5 minutes later, moments after OG's food arrived...)

The "Crud, what was that?" Face

Answer: rain.  Lots and lots of rain.

Cue the running inside and scrambling to grab the toddler and everything she brought with her, including her food.

We finished our dinner (inside) then decided to head to Aunt C's to crash Awee's pool party - and run around the spacious interior of her home.

I pulled OG out of her seat and said "Oh, I guess your butt got wet in the rain..."

It hadn't.

Too many tinks in the diap!  Wet shorts alert!

Luckily for all involved, the only back-up outfit in her bag was a "dress-up" outfit packed from the day before - since Awee and EG like to play dress-up with OG.

And it was a pink and white ADIDAS tennis dress.

Yes, really.

So...without further ado:

Here OG is wearing a sensible mid-day outfit, good for hitting up the local country club or casually sipping drinks by the pool.
As she turns, you can see the ADIDAS striped detail on the back...

But, being the parents/Aunt we are, that was not enough.  The outfit needed finishing touches...

...

...like a Miller Light visor (thanks, Joey)...

...and a bug zapper small tennis racket...

No bugs were harmed in the making of this photo op.
Also, the bug zapper is broken and sans batteries, FYI.

Unfortunately, it was a short-lived career for Ms. OG.  I'm glad we have the photographic evidence to blackmail embarrass show her one day. Our little tennis pro...

The one picture dada captured on Sunday speaks for itself:

POOPED!

Kitty Hat: Memories of Better Times

Hello again, reader(s)! I just realized I never posted OG's outfit pictures from last Tuesday!

The outfit was that of #outfitenvy goals, but the lighting wasn't all that great.  Not that I'm supplying top-notch quality photography on this blog, but with all the natural wood in our house (reflecting warm tones), if the lighting isn't right, the whole outfit looks blah. Such was the case with Tuesday's outfit.  However, I will now post them since it was (unbeknownst to us) Kitty Hat's final appearance.

Oh that Kitty Hat...

A week ago, OG wore:
-Mint "rainbow" tee (Target)
-Black leggins
-New Chucks! (Converse Outlet)
-Kitty Hat

Look at Lucy...eyeing Kitty Hat and planning it's destruction. :(

Back of the "Rainbow Tee"

I will try to get a better picture of OG's shirt the next time she wears it!

Well, That Was Short Lived (AKA: Adios, Kitty Hat)

Hello and happy(ish) Friday, dedicated reader(s)!

Obviously some of us are probably having a better week than others, but I know for a fact that one of my pals is having a crap week...

Lucy the Poochie.

I hate to say it, but I think our old lady dog is feeling a bit blue. You might recall a recent post wherein Lucy the Poochie decided to eat Peck the Woodpecker's leg, which then needed to be amputated.  Well, there have been several casualties since. Tupperware, crayons, paper towels, she nipped up Deadpool's butt (so fitting, if you've seen the movie), trash, her dog bed...and yesterday...Kitty Hat.  Yes, new-and-absolutely-adorable-5-days-since-purchase Kitty Hat. Lucy decided (while we were out earning money to buy her food and shelter) that Kitty Hat's ear looked scrumptious. Sad. Face. #RIPKittyHat

Lucy grew up on the streets, so she has always been a fan of unsecured trash or leftovers. She even ate a ceramic plate once - just to make sure she got ALL THE CRUMBS. Iron stomach, that one! However, normally she just lounges around and hangs with her brother Franklin and nothing gets harmed.  So...this is a bummer of a development.

Anyhow, short story long (heh), I will try and mend Kitty Hat this weekend, but I'm not so sure it will work.

Let us look fondly upon our time together, no matter how short...

And, because this is supposed to be a blog about OG and her daily life fashions, I guess I should post this picture of my adorable nugget brushing her teeth/getting snugly before bedtime.

OG is getting her "nite-nite" on while wearing:
-Dinosaur print thermal PJs
-Snugly "wolf blanket" at Auntie C's house

With her adoring stalker friend, Mickey (as always).

XOXOXOX

Dedi McStuffins to the Rescue!

Hello, dear reader(s)! We suffered a bit of a loss on Friday...but first, allow me to rewind:

My husband has a thing about cardinals. They are his spirit animal.  They remind him of his grandma, and when they appear we both take it as a good sign/sign of luck/sign that someone is watching over us.  One day while he was out shopping, Husband found a stuffed "cardinal" for Ms. OG to fall in love with, so of course he bought it.  Turns out this cardinal 1) isn't a cardinal at all, but a woodpecker 2) and is from a show called "Sheriff Callie's Wild West".  Those of you with children (or adults who like this particular cartoon) know him as Peck.  Regardless of his species, OG fell in love with Peck,

Fast-forward to this past week when we came home to the scene of a crime. Peck was on the ground next to shredded paper towels (Lucy Poochie's M.O.)...

We didn't know if we could save him, so we  waited until the next day rushed the brave Peck to Dedi's for a professional opinion.  Dedi MsStuffins came back with good news and bad news...Peck would survive.

But...she would need to amputate.

Evidence: after the brutal attack // After the amputation, Post-Op Peck is feeling much better!

Thanks to the quick thinking of Dedi McStuffins, Peck will live to see another day.  And OG didn't have to lose a friend - although she is curious about what happened to his leg. It makes for a great "people come in different shapes and sizes" conversation starter!

Oh, and through all of the turmoil, OG's outfit on Friday was still darn cute.

Because, #toddlerfashionblog.

Concerned friend OG was wearing:
-Creamsicle colored oversized tee with white sparkle print graphic (a Charlie Rue donation)
-Black, white and silver striped leggins (Once upon a BabyToddler)
-Sparkly black jelly sandals (also a CRD donation)
-White and peach colored hair flower

What can I say? She's a happy lady, even if her friend might lose a limb.
