Our weekend and more funnies
|
It has been nice to have our daddy home for a long weekend. He has gotten some nice alone time and also lots of family time too. On Saturday they had a "noon-year's eve" party at the local aviation museum for the kids. They had lots of activities and at noon they did a count-down and dropped a net full of balloons down on everyone. Emeline was quite excited because a big purple balloon came right too her and she caught it, she even still has it believe it or not (balloons tend to pop quickly here for some reason). Whe was very impressed that it came right to her, she keeps telling her daddy that "it came to me and I caught it!". She also got her face painted with a beautiful purple glittery butterfly (can you guess what her favorite color is?). She loves to get her face painted, the painters usually can't believe how good she is about sitting still to have it done, the first time she was only a year and a half and she watched the lady paint the girls in front of her and then when it was her turn she sat on my lap and did not move a muscle, and when they tell her to close her eyes, she keeps them closed until someone tells her to open them. After that we went to Costco with our daddy (she loves Costco because they have samples all over the place!) and then naps when we got home. Of course because she napped so late, her regular 8pm bedtime was out of the question, so after supper we all got our PJs on and watched a movie. Sunday was also pretty mello, we had to skip church though because I thought she had pink-eye again (went to Dr. today though and was assured it is probably just allergies or something...definately not pink-eye). It has been very rainy and windy here in central CA so we were trying to think of something fun we could do. Our winning idea was...take the train to San Francisco, have lunch and take the train home again. Emeline was quite excited about that, she loves to watch the trains. We usually see them when we are driving and she waves and says (at the top of her lungs) "bye bye train!". We even went and watched them come into the station one day last week while we were waiting for an oil change. So of course the train ride was a huge hit. We had lunch at a "New York Style" italian place near Pac Bell park (VERY windy walk to the restaurant), and then hoped back on the train to come home. Okay, now the funnies. At the doctors office today, the doctor checked her eyes and then was feeling around her neck checking her glands (very normal) pushing with her fingers and Emeline looked at me and said "she's making me smaller!". I thought the doctor was going to split a gut, we were both laughing so hard. So when she was done checking her glands she asked Emeline if she should make her bigger again and Emeline said "yes" so the doctor waved her hand in front of Emeline and said "okay there you go". Aparently that did the trick. Then on our way home from the doctor we were listening to "grammy and peppy" (a tape my parents made of all the songs we used to sing in the car when we were growing up) and they were singing "She'll be comin' round the mountain" they were singing the part of "we will kill the old red rooster when she comes" and Emeline said "they are going to kill the old red rooster" I said "oh really" and she said "yes, and then she will come"...my goodness she makes me laugh!!! how her little brain works is completely beyond me! well, that's it for now, Emeline and daddy just got home from the grocery store (another of her favorite places to go), and I need to go make supper. Happy and Blessed New Year to all! |
