Night-Time Games

It's all fun and games until you realize that the bowling ball in your dreams was really your daughter's head lodged in your back and that the bruise on your cheek was really a night-time war injury from two small 1x2's slapping you in the face.

How this game play is physically possible...

The world will never know.

Daddy Donut Dates

And this is the reason why I can't get her out of the house in the mornings. The very reason why she would rather stay at home with Daddy...

 

Trucker Emily!

With my mom (Grandma) unexpectedly coming to live with us, came one reaalllly BIG perk for a certain 4-year old. Emily just about became unglued with excitement when she realized that she could be the happy recipient of one nice drive in a U-Haul.

She giggled her hind-end off she loved that "Big Truck" so much.

Tomato...Tamato...

Emily: "Mom...Momma...where'd my IPad? Where'd it go?"
Me: "Where's your IPad? We don't have an IPad. Are you talking about Mommy's phone?"
Emily: "No. My black IPad...where'd it go?"
Me: "Emily, you don't have an IPad. Sorry. Why don't you go play with something else..."

A few days later while cleaning I stumbled upon our portable DVD player from behind a chair in the living room. From across the room I hear a squeal - followed by "Myyyyy IPaddddd!!!"

Ahhh...why yes dear, that is your IPad...

That was an easy $700.00 saved. Cha-Ching!

A Ball to Remember

This year for Halloween Cinderella and Snow White decided to get together and party at the Ball.

They hung out on the dance room floor, eating cupcakes, dancing to music, mixing and mingling. Princesses from all over came to talk (some were even hyperventilating at the sight of Snow White. Oh my!)

Pictures were taken with fellow Princess friends and smiles were shared.

Sadly for Snow White though, her Cinderella friend left her side and instead took up "stalking" Ariel. Poor, poor Ariel...she didn't know what to do with her new found "sidekick".

The evening was a blast, but unfortunately ended when the clock struck 8. Glass slippers long gone from her feet, Cinderella was heartbroken. Snow White on the other hand was exhausted - her ability to party could just not outlast Cinderella's.

It was a success though. And Cinderella couldn't help but beg to go to another Ball the next night...and the night after that, and the night after that...
