Mike's Day Off





Monday Mike took the day off since the shuttle didn't land until Friday evening due to weather (again!!). We had planned to go to the Children's Museum, but apparently it is closed on Mondays during the school year. We asked Kelsie what she wanted to do and all she wanted was to go to Toys R Us to play with the little animal figurines they have there. We were fine with that and although it wasn't too exciting for us she had a wonderful time. We spent at least an hour there and most of that time she just sat and made the animals talk to each other and to her. It is amazing how entertaining they can be for her!

After Toys R Us we went to eat "Rolls and Sour Cream" she actually means tortillas and sour cream, but she can never remember what tortillas are called! She was super excited to go to Mammasitos where they have a waterfall and some lion statues outside. She sat on top of the lions and roared for them it was very cute.

After lunch and nap we went outside to play with some of the neighborhood kids until it was time to go to bed. She had a great time especially after she discovered some puddles to stop around in and a mud puddle beside our neighbors tree. Unfortunately she stomped a little too hard in the mud puddle, because her boot got caught in the mud which then made her fall in too. We didn't see any of this happen we just thought she was still splashing around, but next thing we know she was taking off her boots and pants right in front of everyone! It wasn't until she went in for bath that we discovered what had happened. She started saying next time she would make sure that her boots didn't get stuck in the mud.

It was a perfect day! I love days when we don't have an exact plan and can just go with the flow. Sometimes that is hard for Kelsie, but she did great yesterday. She was super excited to have an extra day with Daddy and Mommy before going to school again today.
