Lunch with Grandma

Today Wendy and I decided to take lunch to my mom at Ridge Crest.  Wendy loves to go to grandma's classroom and pretend to be a teacher.  She has even decided that is what she wants to be when she grows up.  We got lucky when we were walking in because Emily's class was in the library and we were able to peek our heads in and say hello.

 

St. Patrick's Day and Fun at the Park

St. Patrick's Day fell on a Saturday this year which was really nice!  The girls woke up to find some green breakfast food waiting for them.  They were so excited.  Emily had a short dance practice but other than that we spent most of the day relaxing and playing at the park.  It was a nice break from the chaos of the week!

Dance Performance

Last night Emily danced with Downtown Dance Company's Beginning team for their first performance of the season at the ISU Bengal Dancer's Nationals Farewell. They danced to the song Lollipop (Squeak E. Clean & Desert Eagles Remix).  Emily was a little nervous because she starts out front and center but the team did an amazing job.  Wendy went crazy cheering for them with her pom poms.  We stayed pretty late so we could watch the other DTDS companies perform and it was so worth it!  They did great!

Before they performed their dance teacher gave them each this tag attached to a Sprite Zero pop can.  Emily loved it!

In this video Emily starts out front and center.

Wendy's Preschool Field Trip

Yesterday Wendy was able to go on a field trip with her preschool.  She thought she was so big since she got to ride on a bus for the first time.  They went to the fire station and to the kindergarten.  She had so much fun.  They got a whole tour of the kindergarten, saw on the toys, and did some crafts.  Now instead of being scared to go to school there next year she is so excited.

 

Emily Night Walker

When I woke up early this morning I noticed that the sink stopper was missing.  I thought it was weird so I asked LeeRoy if he had taken it out.  He said no.  I was a little freaked out because it was there when we went to bed the night before.  When the girls woke up I asked each of them if they had moved it and they looked at me like I was crazy town!  

Ewwwww, why would anyone want to touch, let alone move the nasty sink stopper?!?!

Everyone swore to me on their life that it wasn't them so I was creeped out but decided to let it go.  After eating breakfast Emily told me she wasn't feeling well.  She had a fever and a cough so I gave permission and  told her to get back into bed.  Soon we heard a scream and when LeeRoy and I rushed to her room she was jumping up and down yelling, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"  When she calmed down she told me to look under her pillow and when I did I found the missing sink stopper!  She had no idea how it got there.  The only conclusion we could come to is that she was sleep walking, took the stopper out and put it under her pillow........once again........ewwwwwwwww!


When we realized our daughter had a sleepwalking problem LeeRoy and I did the only logical thing we could think of.........give her girl scout cookies in bed so she wont murder us in our sleep!  WISH US LUCK!

Wendy's 5th Birthday

My little girl is 5 years old!  I told her to stop growing and she said:

"Mom, don't you want me to get my own car?  Don't you want me to get a job as a teacher and teach at a school?  Don't you want me to move to my own house?  I have to grow to be able to do those things!"

I wanted to cry!   

We started the day off with breakfast in bed followed by a fun, family party.  After the party Grandma Palmer and Lorenzo cam with us as we did all of her favorite things.  We went to the park and played and then went to Kiwi Loco.  It was a fun day and she had a great time!

Damn Yankees

Emily, Grandma, and I love to go see plays together.  The latest one we saw was Damn Yankees.  It was so good and we had a lot of fun together.  There was one part in particular that wasn't geared towards Emily's age group so I was happy when she turned to me and asked why everyone was laughing.  I hope she stays my little girl forever!
