Charlie holding onto the awareness balloons! She was a great helper along with our entire family! Sydnie was eager to launch her balloon!
Before we could actually launch the balloons we had to deal with a tangled mess the wind caused. We finally took all the balloons to the garage and untangled them. Then we launched them individually. Next time I think we'll do this a little differently!
Kim and Camryn trying to figure out how to get rid of this mess!
Once all was untangled, we made it outside to launch!
Sydnie's Balloon! Go sweet baby!
Charlie's balloon!
Along with our CHD awareness balloons, we launched a "paci-fairy" bundle of balloons! Sydnie was ready to let go of her paci's and open to the paci fairy giving them to all of the new itty-bitty babies. We attached them all to a bundle of balloons and launched away!
....And away they go! One of our last physical reminders of Sydnie as a baby! She's such a big girl now!!!
Unfortunately the balloons didn't make it very far... the wind carried the balloons and her paci's into a tree :( All is ok! While everyone was asleep and the world was dark, the paci fairy was able to swoop out of the sky and rescue the paci's and take them to the new babies! pheewwww!
Sydnie was a little sad to see her paci's go!!! After a few airplane rides and some love from daddy, she was ok!
Charlie and Sydnie enjoying the family time!
So much FUN... so much AWARENESS! We can't wait until we can do it again!
Some Sydnie funnies!
So this morning I decided to take advantage of only having Sydnie and myself in the house and clean our down stairs. No biggie right? I was able to do some laundry, straighten the play room, clean the kitchen... When Sydnie asked to paint with water colors... "Sure" I said, "not a problem"! So I got out her Dora water color kit and thought to myself, "ooohhhh, now I can vacuum and she'll be sooooo busy! ....there's no way she'll be able to get into any trouble!" Silly me.... I think she was thinking, "mommy will let me water color and will think I'm busy... I'll take this opportunity to teach her a lesson... silly mommy (evil laugh)!" So this is what happened!
Yup, you're seeing correctly... She's painting her nails with water color... and my white chair cushion!
Such delicate work.... She painted her finger and toe nails!
Silly baby! ... or silly mommy, right?!
Here she is in action:
