Sophie's new "At"
Soph & Grandpa at Culvers

This morning Tootie woke up extra early because she missed me. We watched out morning PBS cartoons. After Elmos World someone fel asleep for 3 hours. I got some projects done during this time, including catching up on past episodes of Tori & Dean that I missed while we didn't have cable. After Toot woke up, she had a late lunch. We needed to get out, so we ran to JoAnn Fabrics because Ineeded a few things to finish my project. I got a bunch of 50% off coupons, so I also got Soph some finger paints and paper. She also got an Elmo and Hello Kitty stamps. They had the cutest plate and bowl and cup set there with little garden gnomes on it, so we got those too. I got Some plastic Easter eggs and some things for her basket. I had to get some more floss for these little towels that I am embroidering for her bathroom. We wandered around there for awhile. My dad met us at Culver's where Soph had a grilled cheese and fries of course. She said fries as soon as we walked in. Dad got her some chocolate ice cream that she couldn't eat fast enough! It was so funny watching her delight in it! Then we all headed over to Gymboree for open gym. I don't really care for the Greenwood location. They have the same stuff, but it is way small. So we will probably be going to open gym at Carmel, and just do her class down at Greenwood. That will satisfy me.

Tootie & Meemaw at Applebees
Tooties tea time

This morning we had to go downtown to pick up my wireless router for my computer from UPS. For some reason they could not leave it at the condo. Not sure why, I have received other items from UPS. It was actually supposed to come with the Comcast guy that hooked this stuff up, but of course nothing goes the way it is supposed to when it involves utilities, cable, phone or any other service type visit to my house. We stopped by my grandmas house after that. We took her to Greenwood Mall to JC Penney. She bought a couple pairs of jeans and returned some stuff. We ate lunch at Applebees. It was tasty. Sophie ate alot of her food. She went to town on her fries and grilled cheese. We took grandma home. Sophie ran around her yard for a little bit. It was such a nice day out. She found some frog statues and gave them each a hug and fed them pebbles. She also delighted in some jelly beans. We came home and Soph took a nap. I hooked up this router and worked on my latest craft project while she snoozed. When she woke up, we had snack and colored some color pages and had a tea party. Later on we had dinner, nuggies, peas and mac n cheese. Then we put out toys and books away nice (Sophie says that...nice) as she is putting things away. It was time for House M.D. therefore it was time for Soph to hit the hay!

Children's Museum

Today we went to the Children's Museum. It was super fun! It was not busy at all. We met David down there around 11:00. Sophie went everywhere. We started out in the Playscape. Then we went to have lunch. after lunch we went to see Bob the Builder. Soph was only there long enough to put some stones on the wall. We hadn't been to the dinosaur area in awhile. Sophie found the dig site and loved it. The archaeologist lady really showed Toot hoe to have fun! Sophie picked out her own goggles and brush to use on her expedition! She toddled all around there. After that we went to the carosel for a ride on a billy goat! She played in the ice cream parlor and treehouse for a bit then we headed home.

Today was nice. We messed around the house for most of the morning. We went out and took a little stroll around. Sophie likes to walk...alot. Then we headed off for Target. I needed to get the usual suspects. Then my dad was to come over to watch Soph while Dave and I went to see Alice in Wonderland. It was pretty good. The theater was packed! We even got there way early. Good thing we did! When we got home, dad had already put Toot to bed. I was surprised that she would even consider bedtime with company over! Dad said she kept laying her head on his chest. Aww! They played and hung out. I was so glad that she was good! She is getting used to me leaving her for little bits of time now. When we were walking out the door, I was fretting a little, but then she said Buh bye! Waving and laughing sitting on grandpas lap. So we made a break for it!

At Five Guys

Yesterday we decided to check out the Level 5 class for Soph at Gymboree in Greenwood. Soph had fun, but there was only one other kid there, and he left early. They had a small parachute so Soph could sill have parachute time and bubbles. After that we decided to go over to Paradise cafe at Greenwood Mall because David had not had time to eat before Gymboree. Me and Soph got a cookie and some iced tea. Then we walked all around the mall. Soph got in one of the little rides there on the way out that looked like a school bus.
Today we ran some errands. We had to drop some library books off at the Carmel Library. David was up doing some stuff at the old house. So After running by my sisters, I called him and we met at Five Guys, which is one of Tooties favorite places. We went home after that for naps. sophie took a three hour nap. It was great, I got some stuff done and took a little nap myself. My neck has been bothering me alot today, so that was much needed. Sophie and David ate dinner while I laid down for a bit with a headache. I felt better after a little bit. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out, playing and watching Sophies TV shows.

The Sophies having coloring fun!

My new plant from Val & Sophie M.

This morning Val and Sophie M. came over to check out my place and hang out and play. Val brought me a housewarming gift. a little plant. I was super surprised and delighted. It was so thoughtful. He is a nice little plant and will have a good home here! I have to think of a name for him. We had Sesame Street on and as soon as little Sophie M. walked in the door, she checked out Elmo's World. Just in time! She did a funny little dance to it. She also located Minnie mouse stuffed animal and hung out with her and Sophie's Elmo. They also watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which has recently been a hit around here. Sophie now says Mickey every time she sees him anywhere. The girls hung out in Soph's room at the little table and colored too. We went over to Bob Evans for some brunch. It was pretty tasty. Soph had some pancakes and fruit and chocolate milk. Then home for nap time. We had a great time as always with them!
Then around 5 my dad came over for dinner. I made some spaghetti, cornbread and corn. Sophie had a good time entertaining grandpa at the table. She was very talkative. Then I wanted to go to Target because I needed some batteries for these phones and diapers and a few grocery items. So he watched Sophie so I could go there in peace. It was nice. Another good day for us. Yay! David gets to come home tonight because they are having him bit on some work up here. So now I am just relaxing and making some shortbread cookies. I love this new cookbook!

Enjoying some Dairy Queen

Having fun mall walking

Today I worked some more on organizing this new place. I got the computer/Sophie's play room mostly done. There are still some miscellaneous things laying about, but over all it is looking nice. My dad called and we met at Max & Erma's for dinner. Sophie had a grilled cheese, fries of course, a fruit bowl which she loved. Dad also ordered chocolate chip cookies, which they brought out before Soph was done eating. oh well, cookie in one hand, fry in the other! This would have never happened when I was a child. sigh. Then we went to Gymboree open gym in Greenwood. We only stayed for a little bit. Dad decided we should go to the mall to let Soph walk around. She did too. That little girl walked the hour and a half or so we were there. She got 2 Hello Kitty shirts and a pair of jammies at Macys, and my dad got her a couple pairs of shoes at Sears. She clomped all around in them. It was pretty cute. We stopped by Dairy Queen in the food court for ice cream, but Soph was more interested in feeding my dad her ice cream. So it turned out to be a pretty good day despite I still have no word on my grandpa.
