Dinner Cruise












Last Saturday we had the opportunity to go on our first dinner cruise. We went with Ben's work so it was all paid for which made it even more enjoyable. We went on the High Spirits yacht, it is an antique boat which was cool, but the stairs (more like ladders) were kind of scary, especially while carrying a baby! Yes, Emma got to come with us but Allison stayed at a friends house. We later found out she had a little accident on their daughters bed...oops! There happened to be a small piano on baord all the slighlty drunk folks were trying to play it, but Ben blew them out of the water when he started playing & singing some Journey songs. He always says he doesn't have anything in common with the poeple he works with, but I think he's found something now. It was a fun night and the food was really yummy, they served prime rib so Ben was in Heaven. I liked all the fruit and the pecan pie dessert bars. My favorite part of the night was when Tim, a guy Ben works with introduced us to his date and in his intro said they're mormon. I think it is funny how he feels he needs to mention this, but we had fun being mormon!

Pachyderms


We were stopped at this light the other day and Ben says "those birds look like pachyderms". I looked at him with my confused face and he then said "that's not the right word is it?" I said "where you thinking taxidermy?" and he said "oh yeah, they are taxiderms"...I am still not sure if that is a word but we got a good laugh out of it!

Emma being a baby!

Ratatouille

Tonight for dinner we made our own version of Ratatouille. We love the movie and even Allison joined in the fun of cooking; her Ratatouille contained a lemon, a ball, hamburger bun, and chicken drumstick (good thing her was pretend!)



Krispy Kreme

Here are Allison's projects from art class today, the lesson was on the farm. The top creation is her tractor (use your imagination) and the bottom is her red barn with animals.


On our way to art class we decided to make our once yearly trip to Krispy Kreme donuts...I know they are bad for me but they are ooooh soooo yummy so once a year we splurge and get one. I also love how they have a drive-up window so I don't have to hall everyone inside.

Emma slept from 3-9 pm today(I think she got her days and nights confused!) Anyways she woke up at 9pm and was all smiles. We played peek-a-boo and she would coo and squeek and she got her legs kicking really fast. Hopefully she will go to sleep again in an hour or two but for now its fun to play with her.

Naughty & Nice




NAUGHTY: Allison found my eye liner pencil and started drawing all over the bathroom door.
NICE: Allison got a rag and cleaned it up herself!

Allison got this purple Halo at a craft fair this weekend, she loves dancing aorund with it on her head or arms. She also can't keep her pants up if you notice her diaper sticking out in all the pictures.
And last of all its here...Clementine season, I love these little guys they are so yummy!

Some funny things Allison said...

The other day I was getting a little frustrated with Ben and Allison said "Mommy you need to go to time out!" And whenever she gets put in time out she immediately says "sorry for hitting" even if hitting wasn't the current offense. And then after she apologizes she expects to be set free from time out but I have told her she still has to pay the consequence so now she screams "I don't want to pay a consequence."

When Allison plays with other children she takes it upon her self to be the "mother" she will tell the other kids "thats very naughty" or "put your shoes back on right now." And if they try to get close to her sister she gets a little teritorial and says "leave my sister alone, she is sleeping." Whenever Emma makes a peep Allison says "hurry go check Emma she's puking all over." Probably because Emma does puke all over at least once a day.

Allison also LOVES to sing, it amazes me how many songs she knows, her current favorite is the snowman song by Inside Out. If Emma starts to cry in the car Allison will sing Baby of Mine from Dumbo it is so sweet. In conclusion it is true that kids say the darndest things and they pretty much say everything you do so choose your words wisely!
