The girls went to Anne’s birthday party today while at Grandmas. Once again they had a face painting lady there. Hannah got a beautiful Hawaiian flower on one cheek and a shooting star on the other. Emerson had a cupcake which just made me want to eat her cheek. After the party we went to Costco and they wanted to send Nana happy smiles. :) And, without my camera, this was my only option for a picture of the day. :) I’ll stop whining now.
I’ll often find Emerson sitting in front of the TV, watching and playing with her favorite toy of the moment. Today it happens to be her Thomas trains.
Sad, sad day! I sent my camera off to Canon to have them fix my baby. I’m hoping that it’s not too costly of a fix and that it’ll be back in my hands soon. I’ll miss you little camera!
We had a morning visitor today. When we woke up there were 4 bucks laying at the front of the house. We threw over a couple leftover hamburger buns and this one came right over. What a great way to end our wonderful vacation.
Today we made our Sandprints. It was quite the challenge with Emmie, but we managed and I think they turned out pretty darn good. We’ll have to do them again since Tom’s fingers all broke off and right before we left, Emmie’s pointer finger broke. It was a fun beach craft. Too bad we weren’t able to get them done while everyone else was with us.
We spent part of the afternoon today at the Arcade. Emerson loved the little horses and Hannah and I had fun playing skee ball. Despite all that fun, Tom and I both decided that it’s not someplace we need to go again.
One of the items on the vacation to do list…Minute to Win It. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Emerson had fun trying to play the Oreo game. The object of the game…to get the Oreo from your forehead to your mouth using only your facial muscles. Seriously so funny.
Today I took the Caleb and Emmie for a walk with Kira (Mimi's mom) while the big kids were at school. I was thankful for the double stroller until I had to hike back up the gigantic hill. It sure makes a difference pushing two instead of one. By the time we got to the top of the hill I was wishing I was sleeping in the stroller too.
Someone lost her other tooth. Only this time she really lost it...she swallowed it in her sleep. I love how grown in the other teeth actually are. She held on to those teeth as long as possible.
Today was Caitlin's graduation party and most all of the family was there. Heather, Jeff and baby Ethan made an appearance at the party. One would never have guessed that it was their first outing. They are very relaxed parents. :) I love this picture of the generations and I am so happy that my camera cooperated long enough for me to get it.
