My favorite thing to blog about...date night. Emmeli really knows how to plan a date. There's no driving around in the car trying to think of something to do. She has it all planned out. Last night she wanted to go to McDonald's to get chicken nuggets & french fries. (Apparently she didn't know what a happy meal was, so the Beanie Baby was a total surprise. She now wants to go back next date night so she can start a collection.) After McDonald's she wanted to go to the toy store. So we did, & she hopped about on the colored squares on the floor. Then we looked at toys for about 5 min. before she came to the sidewalk chalk. She knew immediately that that was what she wanted -not at all like her mother in that respect. She wanted to leave right away so we could use it before it got dark. So we drove to the school park and drew a rainbow and some flowers on a bit of white concrete. I wrote Mom loves Emmeli, and then Emmeli wanted to show me how she could do the monkey bars all by herself. After that, I pushed her on the swing, & then I wrote Emmeli Mountain on the brand new black top, and Emmeli helped me color the petals of my white daisy with rainbow colors. She trailed behind me trying to catch crickets as we made our way back to the car.
When we got home, I scooped some vanilla ice-cream for us & topped it with blueberry crisp; and we sat in front of the computer to watch SpongeBob on Youtube. That was actually my idea, but Emmeli was happy to watch while we ate our dessert. We watched SpongeBob-Skill Crane. I hadn't seen that one. I felt like I had though, because one afternoon Daniel recited the whole thing for me almost word for word. Well, after that we played Indiana Jones -Lego version, which was what she really wanted to do. We didn't play for long. That game is really frustrating. Anyway it was time for sleep, so I brushed Emmeli's teeth & my teeth at the same time and it was off to bed. This picture is the perfect representation of our evening together. I felt like I was being led around by little Emmeli who was in complete control. Even when we played the video game she was saying, "Come on Mom, I know the way." Don't I look beautiful in that bonnet?

What a sweet date. I want to go on one too!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too much! They didn't have blogs when Ben was little. I wish there would have been. You are creating such wonderful memories. Can you create a book with all of these in it? (including the fantastic pictures!) Love, Mom
