Cracked me up she was singing a two person poppy/Freda version of the
Wonderpets theme. And she made me "cheers" our rakes every other scoop
haha.
A long weekend of family. Saturday Freda stayed over at Grandma Leslie's so we could go out for Kaori's birthday. As usual, they must have had a blast as Freda always returns with a Grammaleslie hangover and is all kinds of worn out! She spoke of feeding ducks and parks and movie and the dogs...she sure loves staying over Grandma, thanks. We had a great time as weird as it is to not have mini around.
Sunday we went to my parents house for alder plank salmon.
On Sunday we drove down to a Schumacher family dinner in Bayview. We barbecued and visited with Grandpa John's sisters who were visiting and of course, his mother Freda. Tyler and Molly showed up with new baby in utero. Cousin on the way for Freda. Welcome to the fold! lol.
We were exhausted and found our way back home only to pass out in front of the idiot tube on the couch after settling everyone down.
Here's Freda and Leona sharing some chips. Harrison was all over the playground and Issac was mobile and on the run.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, last night she wore no diaper to bed for the first time, and she was successful too!
I was really impressed, but not as much as she was.
Freda and I were sowing some Fava beans we germinated for the garden. Strange spikey weeds had stared coming up through the soil in the garden.
When I started pulling them out I hear, "Poppy, what are you doing?"
Let me stop here and tell you about the questions. About questions. About questions regarding the original question. Most are inquisitive, others are clarification and some are both. Obviously I am not giving her the right answer so she asks again because she does not have the vocabulary to expand her query. Makes for some funny stuff.
"Poppy, who is that?"
"Thats [Craig]"
"Oh [Craig]?
"Yeah [Craig]"
"Poppy who's [Craig]?"
"That guy."
"Who?"
hahahaha...
I digress, back to the story;
"I'm pulling these weeds..."
"You mean those Horsetails?"
"How did you know that? OH WAIT. Let me guess. Nature walks on Robin Time."
she smiles and says, "I like Robin time."
Robin is a teacher at her school that does 'science class'. Next to Dress Up, she says it's her favorite thing at school.
She made this "giant square" with coins while I made dinner last night.
Here she is documenting her work with her camera in her unders and temp tattoos:
Here's Freda's shot:
Did i mention she missed nap?
So, this is the part of the story where Freda asked Mama to give her a hand but when she did, Freda fell apart on us. So we brushed and called it a night. Love you biddy!
Freda enjoyed finding all the colored eggs the Easter bunny hid around the house and back yard again this year. We don't really celebrate Easter, but we love the day off. I get Good Friday off because I work for an company corporately located the East Coast. Personally, I would prefer floating holidays to religious vacations. And this whole time, I thought every Friday was a good Friday...
Just sayin'.
We took Freda to her school [St. Francis] for the annual Easter Egg hunt. She requested a pretty dress. So we dug this gem out. Full on, hardcore BoPeep. Freda played it up great too, she sashayed around the room with her dress and singing songs about how much she loves her family. Some of the parents had trouble identifying the levity of the situation. Which honestly makes it all even more fun. The more I'm around children the more I realize as adults, how lost we are in the hustle and bustle of life. Watch a two year old negotiate and you'll know what I mean.
I digress, the dress was rad and she was in heaven.
/topic closed, next holiday please.
