Nothing like a cold glass of milk to wash the PB down!
I had such a great weekend last weekend! Grandma and Grandpa came on Saturday to bring Razmatazz back and to babysit me while mom and dad went to the Manchester United - Barcelona game. Daddy got to go to a Man U fan club event on Thursday night(thanks to an awesome co-worker of mom's who got him "on the list.") He got my jersey signed by Gary Neville, Andy Cole and Paddy Crerand. How cool???
Grandma and Grandpa got to our house a little before naptime on Saturday, so we played for a while, I ate a soy nut butter and jelly sandwich (this was before daddy gave me the peanut butter), then I asked grandma to read me a book before nap. I nap pretty well (most days) even if I don't go to bed too well. It did take me a good 45 minutes to fall asleep, but at least I wasn't whining, just talking and singing to myself. Mom and dad left while I was sleeping to go to the soccer game. It was at Fed Ex field in Landover. They picked up Ken and Marie and stopped to meet Mike and Natale on the way. They said they had fun tailgating and at the game. Man U beat Barcelona 2 - 1. There were over 81,000 tickets sold - that's a LOT for a soccer game! Mom got me a Man U soccer ball as a souvenir :) Traffic was awful when the game was over, so mom and dad hung out in the parking lot until it cleared out a little. It was almost midnight by the time they got home. Grandma was sleeping and Grandpa was waiting for them to get home.
Here are a few other random photos from the past few weeks.
Messy girl! Unfortunately you can see the scar on my forehead a little more now even though mom doesn't let me see the light of day without being slathered in sunscreen!
Here's my new soccer ball :)
Needless to say, I had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. We did so much - we swung in the hammock, blew bubbles, rode my bike up and down the street, painted some pictures, cooked and ate dinner, had some ice cream for dessert, played some games, phew - I think I wore them out! I had a really great time and hope they did too. I woke up a few times before mom and dad got home and cried a few times even after they got home. Mom came to say goodnight when she got home and I climbed into her lap and fell right back to sleep.
I woke up at 5:45 on Sunday and yelled for mom. She grabbed the monitor and took it into bed with her (it's usually across the room) and was able to talk to me over the monitor and convinced me to go back to sleep :) She woke up holding the monitor at 7:45 when I yelled for her again! We both got a few additional good hours of sleep for once!
I spent a good morning playing with Grandma and Grandpa. Mom made me an omelet for breakfast - I ate most of it, then ate some of the frittata that she made a little while later. Both were yummy and I got my fair share of protein for the morning! Mom also got the first delivery of the "farm box." Everything looked yummy!!! She got most of the things she ordered, but a few were missing, namely the milk, boo :( But we got some awesome produce: kale, zucchini, PURPLE peppers, red peppers, onions, crazy looking tomatoes, sweet potatoes, fingerling potatoes, mangoes, nectarines, apples, red plums, a cantaloupe, eggplant and probably a bunch more that I'm forgetting. Mom did order some elk summer sausage, grass fed ground beef, apple butter and mango chutney as well. Yum! She also surprised dad and I with some ice cream :) Vanilla for me and cookie dough for daddy. Daddy convinced me that his ice cream is best (though mom is still trying to remind me that vanilla is really the best).
Mom and I gave daddy his birthday present a little early on Sunday (his actual birthday was on Tuesday). Mom got him the ice cream attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer! They've been talking about getting it for a while, but just never did. So mom finally bought it for him. We washed it right away and dad dug up some recipes. He made some milk and honey ice cream - mom tells me it was delicious, but I haven't tasted it yet. Mom made dinner for dad - short ribs and zucchini (from the farm box) and potato pancakes! They took a long time to cook, but it was all so yummy. I ate a *really* good dinner, so mom and dad let me have some of my vanilla ice cream as a treat. Daddy's real birthday was on Tuesday - we ended up getting take out from Outback since we all got home a little late, but we had a nice dinner and I gave dad my presents - I gave him two books that were on his wishlist. We didn't have time to make his cake, but we'll have to do that soon.
Daddy was traveling later in the week and was supposed to get home this evening - he was in Indiana. Mom told me this and here's the conversation we had several times this week:
Me: Where's Daddy?
Mommy: Where do you think?
Me: In Diana.
Mom laughed every time and I can't figure out why!! Mom and I had a pretty fun week, though. We got lots of play time. Saturday morning, mom took me and my stroller to the Soccerplex for a run. She forgot how hilly it was and ended up getting lost on what she thought was a 3.5 mile loop. She must have taken a wrong turn and ended up having to back track the same way we went, so we ended up "running" a little more than 4 miles. It was pretty slow (finished in about 50 minutes), but we did have to stop to walk a bit - it's hard work pushing me (29 lbs) in my stroller (26 lbs) especially with the hills! Mom told me we could stop at the playground on the way back, but it started to rain *just* as we got there :( So we ended up going back to the car and went to Whole Foods to get salads for lunch. We ate a good lunch, then both took naps.
When I got up, we had a playdate and dinner at my friend Sam's house - we had SO much fun. Sam and I went to my last school together and he also just moved to my new school :) I'm so glad we can still play together. He's in a different class right now, but hopefully will be moving in to mine soon. I had so much fun playing with all of his toys - I get bored with my toys sometimes, but new things are so much fun!
Hope everyone is doing well. Till later!
