Too Much Fun Food....

This weekend was wonderful! I had the opportunity to hang out with one of the coolest kids in the world..Emma!! She's the daughter of one of my ex-coworkers. It was such a great time! I picked her up from school on Friday afternoon and she stayed with me until Sunday afternoon...we did so many fun things! I'd kind of forgotten how much fun it is to be around children and how young they make me feel...she showed me her favorite places to play at the park!


Later in the evening, we went to CiCi's with Rachel...and ate way too much!! Then we painted our fingernails and toenails while watching TinkerBell the Movie. One of my favorite things to do is brush my teeth...so Emma and I had a little bonding time in the bathroom for fun! But she's way cooler than I am...her toothbrush vibrated!!



We had story time before bed...she picked out a few stories from our Bedtime, Anytime Storybook (it was her favorite)...

Just before bed, we put the cat out. A few minutes later, while reading, I heard pouring rain outside...I looked at Emma and said, "Did you notice it raining when we put Cali out?" She looked at me and said, "No, it wasn't raining." So, I got up and looked out the back door only to find a flood of water coming directly from the side of our house!! A pipe from the bathroom had exploded!! So, no rain, but lots of water!! Once again, there's no man around to take care of this situation...so who do we call?!?!?! BENJ!! The man of the weekend!! He came and turned our water off Friday night...and he, Mary, and Julia came over in the morning (with donuts!) so that he could "fix" the problem...which he did...and now it looks better than ever!

Julia had a little bit of conjestion, so Mary went in to get rid of it...

Nothing like a little Bavarian cream on a napkin to make a gross story even more disgisting!! Hahaha!! What came out was nothing like that really, but Julia was breathing much better afterwards...

The rest of Saturday was so much fun...we spent more time at the park, played about 12 games of Sorry, had some pot roast (which I started 10 hours before...it was my first pot roast ever!) and corn, made a delicious chocolate cake...(to die for, really)...watched Ice Age 2....enjoyed more toothbrushing & storytime...and then headed to bed!

Emma and I both made pancakes and scrambled eggs on Sunday morning....then we woke Rachel up to enjoy breakfast with us!! Emma was such a joy to be with...she made me laugh so much!! We got ready and visited a new church...Emma had never been to church before so it was a first for us all!! We spent the rest of the afternoon in town shopping for cheap, fun things! I was sad for her to go home...but I'm sure we'll be doing it again!
