We went for a walk on the canal. Vallerie threw rocks in the water. She didn't want to come home. We got to our yard and she must have known it was time to go in because she started crying. Once we got inside we ate dinner and then she went to bed.
After she was in bed Eddie played some racing on the xbox and I went upstairs and covered one of her switch plates with scrapbook paper. The paper is blue with blue polka dots. I outlined the socket holes with blue glitter glue, and added blue and purple glitter glue to some of the dots on it. It looks cute. I didn't get to put it on the wall yet. It needed to dry, and since Vallerie was asleep I couldn't go in her room to check it out. If it looks good I will cover the others the same way.
I have another project I am thinking of doing. I have a white sheet of hers that I was going to paint polka dots on and use that was her stuffed animal hammock. I'm not sure if I will do that or if we'll buy a mesh one. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
After I finished the switchplate I watched some tv and then went online to try and search for Vallerie's swimsuit. I found nothing that I liked. I did however find a very offensive (to me anyway) "swim suit" for toddlers. It looks like this:
I know that some people may disagree (and I don't really give two shits) but this is just wrong. Why in the hell would you put a CHILD in something like this?! I thimk the designer should be punched in the face.
Anyway, after I looked online (for like 2 hours) I finally gave up and went to bed.
Started looking online again this morning, and found nothing. There are a couple that are "ok" that might have to be bought. I think Eddie and I will have to go into some stores and look. I am hoping that Vallerie cooperates. There are some cute flip flops at Old Navy that I want to get her. They are like $4 and easily slip on and off. Maybe they will have a swimsuit too. Who knows.
We're totally not ready for vacation. We haven't started getting anything ready, and we still have a bunch of things to do before we go. I'm getting excited, but also worried that we wont get everything done, and we will be in a rush at the last minute (story of my life).
Here are the (few) suits that are "ok":
I like the blue one and the black one the best, but I really don't see any of them as "the one"... maybe I'm being too picky.
