Happy 4th of July!

This weekend for the fourth, we had some friends, Matt and Rachel and their little girl, Reese, come up to stay with us. We had a great time. Reese was so much fun and was so sweet to Claire.









A couple of weeks ago I had gone out to get Claire the perfect 4th of July outfit. At this point we had no plans, but I wanted Claire to look cute, even if we were hanging out at home. I found a really cute top and these adorable little denim bloomers with ruffles on the back. I was so excited to put her in the outfit. On Friday morning I started getting her dressed and realized her outfit was definitely made for cuteness and not with a baby in mind. The back of the shirt had buttons with little loopholes that you had to get the buttons through. It took me forever to get them fastened, as Claire is quite squirmy these days. Well, Matt and Kyle offered to keep the girls while Rachel and I went out to lunch. When we got back Kyle and Matt were in Claire's room with Claire on the changing table, covered in poo, and they were trying to get her little shirt off. Both of them were concentrating very hard trying to get it off when I heard one of them say, "these stupid buttons...I can't get them undone." All that to say, I wanted her to wear this precious outfit, she didn't go anywhere, and she pooped all over it. Luckily, we took some pictures of her in before this all went down.
