We had a great weekend with a visit from my dad, the girls' poppa. We got the fun times rolling right away with attempts at contacts. Elli was talking herself into them, she is so funny how logical she tries to be to even though she was terrified. Addie, on the other hand, saw how brave Elli had to be and decided it wasn't worth it. (That sounds very similar to her mom's assessment of life.) Now we have only one in glasses, which according to my book, no longer make us the self-imposed "glasses family". Last year when Addie started wearing glasses I thought is was pretty cute. Fast forward 4 months and we come to find that Elli needs them also, and it's not that she didn't also look adorable, but it was now a bit redundant. (This is a favorite word in our house ever since Jason used it to describe his feelings upon learning baby #3 was another girl, but I digress.)
So Elli now wears contact, today was day 4. It takes me about a minute to get them in, and she takes them out herself, not too shabby. So how do you follow forceful insertion of plastic in your eye? John's Incredible Pizza of course! Amelia loves a carousel, even if it pales in comparison to Disneyland.
This is our new favorite game, the girls and I played it about 10 times, and most times we won 50 tickets, woo-hoo.
While we were off, and Jason was in charge of Amelia having fun, they both decided video poker was the game to play, and play, and play. They are planning a Vegas Vacay together as soon as they can find a fake ID for Millie.
My little dare devils raising the roof on the fake roller coaster.
This is were the pictures end, but we continued the fun with Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Addie's soccer game, pumpkin patch with face painting, and my favorite brisket dinner. After a day eating strawberry and whipped cream pancakes, popcorn and candy at the movies, shaved ice at the soccer game, and frozen yogurt for dessert, Elli asked in the car, "Can I have a chocolate bar when get home?" and upon my loud scoff continued "Should I not have asked that?" Thanks poppa, come back soon!

I love the froggy ride at johns incredible- it's a fun place for kids
I was wondering where her glasses were at church on sunday. All i have to say is you go girl, because I can barely put them in.
You're never too young to learn how to count cards...plus she would totally fit in w/the casino crowd!
Yummm...Booschie Brisket! (Did we ever decide how we were going to spell your nickname?)...O, and I was glad to see a blog, I was starting to get worried since you took over 10 days to write a new one! :)
Have I told you lately how much I LOVE your writing. Your sarcasm and wit make me laugh out loud. I dare say, guffaw! You are the best. It makes me want to hang out with you every day. Hmm, not possible? Please consider moving closer??!!
When I saw your post title and saw the pic I thought, "Somebody got a pop rock in their eye!" Awesome post!
