We The Moreiras: we're ready for you, summer

with memorial day just having passed and the weather reaching it swampiest so far, the moreira's are officially ready for summer! that means, parks, pools, kites, and bubbles galore! (just to mention a few) and an upcoming trip to disney! i'm squealing with excitement. except we recently watched jim gaffigan's standup, mr. universe, and the disney skit. . . i about died. annabella has also been having a blast. how can she be in the funnest (<- that's a word?) stage of her life and also the most defiant? she seems to think she knows best. the answer to everything is, no.

"hey, annabella, do you want to wear your red or yellow shoes?". . . "no."

"hey, annabella, where did you put your teacup?". . . "no."

"hey, annabella, baby lucca is too little for you to ride him like a horse.". . . "no."

thrilling stuff, i know. she's also been cracking us up lately. instead of sleeping with teddy bears, her choice toys to snuggle with are two iphone cases i'm not using. she sleeps with them in hand and that's where they are when she wakes up. she's also started calling all her toys 'dude'. and my personal favorite- her giggles have never sounded so sweet. i love my little girl. though not so little anymore.

looking at these photos from the park last week makes me want to live outdoors. we have to get better about going later in the day after daddy comes home. A is allergic to sunscreen and if we go any earlier, it's like the sun makes it a point to cook her sweet little cheeks to medium rare. ouch. i also chose the absolute WRONG outfit. the dress and hat i had worn all day was fine until the wind decided to hit with full force the second we hit the playground. so in between chasing my hat and keeping from flashing football players in the field, i was able to snap a few shots.
