FRIDAY August 31st

Yay for Friday! Double YAY for a 3 day weekend!

Yesterday after I got home Eddie and I rearranged Vallerie's room. She has learned how to pull herself up on her changing table from her crib, meaning she is escaping from her crib. So we moved it around and hopefully that won't happen again. It's probably about time to switch her into a big girl bed.

After that we were all in the kitchen. Vallerie was coloring with dry erase markers. She decided that it would be fun to draw on Eddie. She drew on his arm in several spots, on his leg in several spots and on his hand. She would just do little circle things. She would point to them and say "what's that?" Eddie and I both said that we didn't know and she would have to tell us since she's the one that drew it. She's so funny.

Then it was time for us to go grocery shopping. We told her to go get her shoes so we could put them on. She ran into her room and got her dinosaur slippers, so we told her to go back and get her purple shoes. She ran back in and got her alligator slippers. This went on for a few minutes. She brought us a few more shoes (not the right ones) until finally she brought us the right ones. After I put on her shoes I gave her all the other shoes and told her to put them back. She did. It was pretty entertaining.

Vallerie and I went grocery shopping. She was a pretty good shopper. We stayed in Delphi though, so it was a short trip. She got a little loud (no inside voice) so I told her if she whispered that I would give her a cookie. She started whispering then. It was cute. (yes I gave her a cookie when we got home)

On our way there I said "Vallerie, your dad told me that you were an escape artist today" She said "yup". Just like it was a matter of fact.

After I got home I unloaded the groceries. Vallerie was happy to help by carrying in the bread. (Yes she squished it, but that's ok)

Then Vallerie and I went outside. I was talking to my mom on the phone and Vallerie went and started playing on her swing set. We were out there for about an hour. Eddie joined us for a little while.

Then we ate dinner. Eddie and Vallerie had corn beef hash and eggs. I had spaghetti o's. (sounds like a great dinner doesn't it) Then Vallerie went to bed.

Eddie and I watched some tv and then fell asleep.

I had a dream last night (Martin Luther King had a dream -- as my mom would always say) It was an Inception dream... Anyway, in my dream I dreamt that I won 20,000 in the lottery, so when I woke up (in my dream) I bought a scratch off ticket and won 20,000. Today when I went to the gas station for my morning soda, I bought me a power ball ticket... Maybe I'll win something! (Probably not)

My cousin comes into town today. She should be here in about an hour. We're hoping we can go to Indiana Beach sometime this weekend, but it's supposed to rain, so we'll have to wait and see. I hope it's at least nice enough that we get to do something, even if it's not the beach, we could go to the canal park or something.
