Can you guess what we did today?
That's right... The Elmo concert was in town, and we headed up to Everett to see it, with friends Jeni and L. Bobbin was SOOOO excited. As soon as we got to the door she handed the lady her ticket to scan and then ran inside jumping up and down, hugging her little elmo doll excitedly and shouting for me to "Hurry Mommy, HURRY!" Our seats were on the floor level and she couldn't get her little legs to go down the stairs fast enough; especially after she heard Big Bird's voice from the hallway. She was pretty darn adorable. The total Elmo groupie.
After the concert she saw this big poster you could stand in front of to get your picture taken, and she went into jumping up and down mode again, excitedly pointing to it and calling "Mommy! Mommy, LOOK! Mommy, look!" When I took this picture I thought she was literally about to burst with happiness.
We eventually made it home, and had quiet time from about 2:15 - 4:00pm. When she woke up, we headed out to Fred Meyers to pick up the ingredients for dinner (we made our own pizza for dinner; completely with pilsbury dough-boy pizza dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and ample mozzerella. I should say - she made the pizza. Completely by herself), and a pool because dammit, it was hot. 103F-in-the-sun hot. So said both of our outdoor thermometers. It was a lovely 93F in the shade. She seemed to enjoy herself.
After we finished playing, and making our pizza I got out this watermelon quarter to slice up and have with our pizza. It had been in the fridge so was nice and cold. But when I put it on the counter, Bobbin was so excited to see the size of it she jumped up and down with joy and then begged me, politely, not to slice it but to let her eat it whole. She was so sincere and polite and happy and it was freakin' hot, and how could I possibly say no? So here she is, chowin' down. She actually managed to get almost to the rind in some spots before deciding she was all done.
All in all, a totally fun day for both of us. These photos barely scratch the surface; our photo album has lots more from today's concert and heat wave and yesterday's trip to the dairy for ice cream. And you should also check out last week's soccer pics and fun at school.
I guess she's grown out of the Manta Ray pool?
