We've had a fun a and busy weekend! On Friday afternoon Emma, Mikayla, & I spent some time at the park. Emma enjoyed climbing on all the play equipment, as usual. The girls also found a wonderfully mucky mud puddle and and assortment of sticks that provided plenty of messy entertainment. Then we met up with Grandma & TJ for some frozen yogurt to celebrate a successful first day of preschool for TJ. He started school on Friday and did wonderfully!
On Saturday one of Emma's friends,little Miss Ava, turned 2 years old and had a Fairy Tea Party to celebrate! Karen & TJ came with us to the party too. All the little girls came to the party decked out in sparkly wings and tutu-type outfits. The little boys were to be pirates and gnomes. I repurposed Emma's halloween costume (yea Abby Cadabby!) and one of TJ's Christmas dress up gifts and the kids were good to go! All the little ones looked so cute! Unfortunately there was a line for the restroom at an inopportune time and... well, let's just say Emma wasn't able to finish the party in her costume. Poor kid had an accident right on the kitchen floor. And, to add insult to injury, her negligent mama (me!) had forgotten to bring any extra clothes with us so we had to raid TJ's diaper bag for little boy clothes that were about a size and a half too small. I pointed out to Em that this is what happens when you pee your pants... you have to wear BOY underwear! She was so completely NOT offended by that! Her exact words were, "Hey, wow! Aliens!" Great. My sweet little girl likes boys under-roos! We finished the day with a trip to McDonalds to grab an easy dinner while the kids got to play a bit and burn off some more energy.
Today we hung out around the house and had Tim & Jen & the kids over for dinner. Grandma made tacos and fried potatoes at Scott's request since he will be heading back out to Alaska in a couple days. The house is still a construction zone as Tim finishes up the bathroom remodel, but it's coming along. Emma was thrilled to see her cousins and has had a great time with Bubby especially these past couple days. He has been coming along with Tim to work here at the house and Emma has loved playing with him all weekend. She loves running around after the bigger kids and scootering up and down the sidewalk. I swear that kid thinks she is bigger that she really is. I keep thinking, "They (Tim & Kayla) are 10. You're 2 Emma. How are you keeping up with them?" But she does it and loves every minute of it. She also sleeps really well at night after a day with the big kids! :)
