Noelle is a great artist. She especially likes to draw pictures of people. After a very long day of waking early, running errands, no nap, and eating lots of stuff she drew this self portrait.
She was really sad about five minutes before because I had told her that she needed to go to bed, but she wanted to watch the "dancing show" also known as Dancing With the Stars. So I put her little weepy self on my bed and she told me that her feelings were really hurting. So this is what she says she looks like when she's sad. I'm not sure where her mouth is, but usually she does draw a mouth, but the tears are a new addition to her art. Very funny and expressive for a three year old.

Produce Mania
I know I go on and on about this great produce co-op that we participate in every other week, but seriously I love looking in my fridge to find it full of good things, that we even eat. I encourage my Utah friends to keep an eye out for one near them since they just started doing produce offerings in that area. Check http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/ to see how it all works.
Let me just tell you what I got for my $15 today. (This does not include the extra stuff I got for volunteering)
Broccoli - 2 crowns
Acorn Squash -2
Lettuce
Cucumbers - 2
Celery
Apples - 7
Grapes, lots of grapes - 2 bags, don't know in pounds.
Bananas - 7 or so
Cantaloupe - 1
Pineapple - 1
Blackberries - 1 pint

Chatty
Most mornings when Noelle wakes up she greets me with a very enthusiastic "Good morning." Then the next thing out of her mouth in a not so enthusiastic voice is "Where's my dad?" Every morning its the same thing. However this morning she was so chatty, maybe it was the fact that she fell asleep in the car on the way home from a friend's house at 5:30pm and I could not wake her to save my life. So after nearly fourteen hours of sleep she was a chatty little thing. Through her deep thoughts on things like pillows and blankets and what Dad might be doing at work and quoting lines from the movie Annie, she turned to me and said, "I love you Miss Momigan." as in "We love you Miss Hannigan?" Who could ask for anything better at 7:00 am?

My Sentiments Exactly
Cousin Jen posted this on her blog and I laughed so hard at points that I was crying. Because we've flown recently this is so fresh on my brain. Hilarious! Just think of me with Noelle in the back coloring away as we watch people trying to stuff their overly large bags into the overhead. I often have to laugh at those folks because I can use the space under the seat in front of Noelle.

Magic
Noelle informed me today that she does magic tricks. When I asked her to show me her tricks she started waving her hands around and making some squilly sounds. And that my friends is how you do magic, when you are three.

Pregnancy
You would think the second time round I'd be smarter. But no. Anyone who has been pregnant would know that you do outgrow pregnancy clothes, especially the ones you buy early on. I put on one of my favorites and braved it out most of the day, only to realize while driving home that I quite possibly was cutting off my circulation at the waist. I'm sad. Time to move on.
Oh and 'baby sister' was much happier too.

Birthday Celebration(s)
Memory
Jumping the dragon's tail
Freeze dance
Party friends, poofy skirts and all!
Cupcake anticipation
Noelle had fun with her friend Bea. Thank you Sundahls.
After a week in Massachusetts we joined up with Grammy, Great Grammy & Great Papa, along with all the aunts, uncles and cousins would could imagine. Noelle got to have a joint family party with cousin Andrea who turned five. We took a train ride on "Dinah" which Noelle thought was great since she didn't have to sit the whole time.
Thanks to all of you who have helped us celebrate in one way or another. I think next year we'll just have a family night at Peter Piper and call it good.
