Another outfit

So, I'm sure Lilly isn't the only 2 year old with hilarious outfits, but I just had to post another one, since she did do most of this herself...

This was last night, so she was really tired. She's wearing just a shirt (no, that's not a mini dress), no pants (she decided it was so funny to run around without pants on), two hats (a backwards one and her mouse ears) and tinkerbell shoes that are 3 sizes too big. And, of course, stickers (I think she took most of them off of her legs and face by the time I got the camera out). I'm sure this is a style somewhere in the world.

Sense of style

Lilly has been very picky with what she wears. She likes to choose her clothing and frequenly picks out things that I don't want her to wear. For example, two weeks ago it was pretty chilly here and Lilly wanted to wear shorts and a tank top on a day it was only going to be about 60 degrees max. I managed to convince her to put on pants. I decided that clothing wasn't a battle I was going to fight, so I let her pick what she wants as long as it's weather appropriate. Here are some of her choices:

I call this her "color blind look": orange halloween socks, pink shoes, green and white striped shorts, and blue and purple striped jacket. Oh, and a yellow bow. She ALWAYS has to pick a bow herself.




the "i'm too cool look": backwards hat and saggy diaper (she's still in her jammies)

my favorite, the "let's see how messy i can get before i go out in public" look: sidewalk chalk everywhere...pants, shoes, hair, shirt, face, everywhere.

Notre Dame

This past weekend was Notre Dame's first game of the season. Pete and I went to the game - the weather was perfect and our seats were great; the team - not as good as we'd hoped, but at least they won. Before the game, instead of tailgating, Pete, Lilly, and I went to eat lunch at the South Dining Hall with our friends, Erin, Mike, Eamon, and Owen. It was great...I'd love to eat that way every day!! Eamon is Lilly's age and he is so hilarious - the band gets up and plays in the dining hall during lunch and Eamon was standing on his chair playing his trumpet just like the trumpeteers (not sure if that's a word, but it sounds good- like mouseketeers or something) were. It was so cute. Lilly's lunch consisted of: cereal with milk, chocolate chip muffin, cheese, and ice cream. I also got her some jello and she really really wanted to eat it since it was bright orange and looked like it was something un-healthy, but I don't think she could get past the jiggly-ness of it (another made up word, I'm sure). She put it to her mouth and then put it right back in the bowl about 6 times. She did enjoy the ice cream and sprinkles, though. Here are some pictures:

Go Cubs Go!

Pete and I went to Chicago for the weekend recently. It was the first time I'd left Lilly overnight, so I was a little nervous, but we had an awesome time! We went to a Cubs game with our friends, Dave and Katrina. We also met up with our Detroit friends, Lisa and Seth, for dinner one night. It was great to have some adult time, but I missed Lilly a lot! Lilly did great and had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa.
