Changing Clothes

Apparently turning 3 and changing clothes go hand in hand. This girl would change clothes a million times if I let her. When she first starting asking to change I wouldn't let her...then I realized she wasn't going to give it up. So she usually wears two outfits a day. One to school then she comes home and changes immediately. She always changes her shoes and if she doesn't love her outfit she'll change that too. Sometimes it's dress up but most of the time it's regular clothes with lots of accessories.

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny

Before going to be terrorized by the Easter Bunny...

What seemed to be an innocent trip with Gran Mary and Papa ended up scaring her of the big white bunny. Who wouldn't fear that thing coming into your house at night to hide goodies though?! Clearly Mommy and Daddy didn't think this through.

The evening resulted in SKV asking us to email the EB and tell him to put the treats in the basement. That seemed to be the plan until Kevin went downstairs to turn off lights. She heard the steps from her room and immediately started crying. Then we decided Mommy should call the EB on the phone and tell him to "just stay away." The EB ended up calling Kevin on his phone so they could meet up and hand off the girls treats.

Videos upcoming...

Cutie Cute Cute

I am impressed when she can actually do a different pose than standing...without Daddy helping. :) I was trying to get her to show me the flowers on her shoes-good job! :)

This adorable fairy outfit is from Uncle Keith and Aunt Emily. She loves it-the wings, the shoes and the wand! She wanted her hair to look just like the girl on the box...well this was as good as I could get it.

She was walking back down the hall with me when she stated, "But Mommy-I can't fly!" I told her she'd have to pretend. Crazy movies putting ideas into kids heads (wink wink).

Playing Around and Posing

No words-just laughter.



Daddy's always behind me showing her how to pose.

I made him join in the shot this time. So any modeling agencies that want her-you'll have to take him too-haha!

Baby Ring

Aunt Jill's Mommy, Peggy, gave Sidney Kate a ring at her baby shower. She's finally grown into it and LOVES to wear it! She decided she wanted it on the same finger as Mommy's; because the other was "yucky" of course!

All dressed up and nowhere to go...

Actually we DID have somewhere to go. We had to go see a princess get married!

Dress-check. Matching hot pink shoes-check. Matching earrings-check. Gum-check.

She would have followed Courtney around all night had I let her. She wanted to touch her dress, talk to her and just plain look at her. She had a very fun time at her first wedding!

Childhood Dreams and Headphones

All children (or at least we once did-back in the day) grew up with these massive headphones at home. Fun for playing around in and listening to whatever music our parents deemed "in" at the time. :)
Here is SKV playing in some Winston Cup headphones at Grandma and Papa's house.
Who doesn't use a Christmas candle as a micrphone?

Here is her Mommy, about 29-30 years ago, playing in some too. Notice these have cords, wireless hadn't quite made it around I guess. :) Or headphones that picked up radio stations (as seen above).

Daddy has a picture in some too but I don't have that...maybe GG will scan it and send it over. :)

Rosetta

Dress up is a favorite thing around here...I'm sure you've all seen pictures of Kevin in various embarassing (yet hilarious) outfits...if not let me know and I'll do a special blog (chuckle.)
Rosetta is Sidney Kate's Tinkerbell friend fairy she got last Christmas. Well, it took sometime but now she loves it! We won't mention to her that the shoes are a different princess.

Showing off her clip-on earrings and tiara.

Cheese!

Around the House Kinda Fun

We all have fun around the house. There is fun and then the fun that you wouldn't dare do outside of your house. Here is a little of both.
My new favorite invention is the eye patch (thing) I can wear while Kevin watches TV all night-LOVE IT! (Add that to the list of Carrie's Favorite Things-"Every-body-gets-ONE!" in my best Oprah voice)

Poor child...her morning routine involves watching one Dora or Diego (or other favorite show of the moment) until time for daycare. On this day she discovered a new way to watch it while looking completely bored out of her mind.

Our cute nerd.

I think should be part of "don't ask-don't tell." She calls it her cowboy hat, but it so isn't.

A Good Outfit...

I love it when a good outfit comes together! The top was from Aunt Beth and Uncle Mike and the pants were from Aunt Linda. Beautiful!

Testing out the new camera...I seriously have to bribe this girl to get a shot these days...sucker, gum, candy!

Wow, didn't think I'd get another Mommy/SKV shot...she was all over the place. :)

Princess from Head to Toe!

More dress up fun at the Venable Household! If you pay close attention you'll see that she's 3 in 1. Tinkerbell, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast (Tink, Arial & Belle)

Her wings! The velcro doesn't stand them up so straight but she doesn't know the difference. All I heard was, "I want my wings!"

One of her six pair of princess shoes. You know a girl has to have matching shoes! (Not matching so much in this case.)

Dressing Up Diva

Seriously, one day I need someone taking pictures of Kevin has he's telling Sidney Kate how to pose! I miss it every time and I'm sure it's a hoot! What a good Daddy!

And you know there had to be bribery to get her to stand still...she's learned that this is where I ask her to go stand for a picture and she now gets my camera and tells me to go to this spot. Little copy cat!

Grandma Mary and Papa came to visit one day and someone was in a Princess Mood! I'm pretty sure the two fo them would have played all night long if we hadn't made them quit.

Princess Hair and Princes Clothes

You have to have Princess hair to be a princess. After a day of braided hair we happily take down her braides and let her prance around with "Princess hair!"

One of the many princess outfits. (Thanks UB!)

But always a Wolfpack fan!

Dress Up Days

Sidney Kate has finally reached the days were she likes to play dress up.  I believe for Christmas she got Princess shoes and dress-up clothes, but never really wanted to wear them until now.

Sidney Kate as Cinderella (She's even got the one slipper thing going)

 

Sidney Kate as Tinkerbell (pink version)

 

with wings!  And that wand makes "magic" noise!
