At 7:30 this morning Eden came down to wake up Daddy. She was completely dressed with a bow in her hair and ready for their date. She had been talking about ever since Scott mentioned he had something planned about a week ago. Every morning at breakfast she would give me the count down, "Only 3 more days until my date with daddy."
Scott surprised her with a trip to the Scottish Rite Children's Theatre to see Hansel and Gretel. The play was followed by lunch at P. Terry's Burger Stand - which turned into P. Terry's in the back of Scott's truck since it was pouring down rain - followed by ice cream at Amy's. I later learned that Scott switched his ice cream with Eden's at Amy's when she realized he had ordered the better option. I hope she remembers that forever.
Eden's date with Daddy meant I got to spend the day with my little man! We spent the morning at the Children's Museum and then headed to Mighty Fine Burgers for lunch. Levi is a salsa lover, so when he saw the "hot sauce" on the table he would not take no for an answer. So, I splashed a little tabasco sauce on his wrapper and he dipped his burger. God love him - he complained about his lip burning for the next 30 minutes. He finally met his match.
Today's Tiny Treasures: When I told Levi we were going to Mighty Fine Burgers for lunch he apparently thought I said Mighty Fine Boogers. His reply, "Mighty Fine Boogers? What? No." And since I was laughing every time he said it, we had a full minute or two of Levi repeating himself. In his defense, boogers really are pretty funny.
I recently found a website full of fun, easy and quick little crafts to do with your kids. If you haven't stumbled upon No Time for Flash Cards yet, you really should check it out. My kids have been eating it up! We've made Albert the Alligator to learn our letter A and Ziggy the Zebra for the letter Z. Today's creation: A Yellow Submarine. We, of course, had the appropriate background music. Nothing better than sticky glue, tissue paper sun catchers and a little Beatles playing in the background. Now if I could only get my coffee to kick in - it might just be the perfect little morning!
That is the word I heard coming from the kitchen this morning. I was in the laundry room pulling clothes out of the dryer and little Levi was commenting on his masterpiece in the next room. I had left him alone with three small dishes of paint to work on a "snap" painting. I naively thought he was talking about his painting - so I called from the laundry room, "I can't wait to see it." Not three seconds later my little man rounds the corner and asks, "Isn't it beautiful, mommy?" Yes. In a strange way, it really is. I only wish I could figure out how to load more than one picture on this blog - so I could also show you what he did to his toes too.
Today was a very important day for my children. It was the day they were introduced to Silly String! All that joy and pure happiness all safely contained in a metal bottle. It is an amazing invention. As a matter of fact, as I type up this little entry, I can hear Eden in the kitchen explaining the whole thing to Scott! Such fun.
