.: Weekend

Friday Gretchie had another friend come play for a couple hours. She loves friends at her house!! Tatianna and Angelica came over and the girls played really well together. Angelica is not two yet. Gretchen's comment after she left was that was soo fun but she doesn't talk! HA! Gretchen also told me Angelica (which she pronounc

es without the a--and pretty clearly) jumped on her bed---I asked did you jump on your bed too? She nodded yes and put her head down--teehee! (told on herself)

Friday after nap we drove to Pendleton court house again to get the passport --Lee worked in WW Friday and went and got the Oregon b-cert in the safe deposit box and met us in Pendleton at 4 pm! We went to the Dollar Store while we waited for daddy. What a not so kid friendly place with balloons everywhere!! She loved it though!! No problems at the court house and within ten minutes we signed and took the oath! Gretchen then went potty because she said she went potty at the court house yesterday--ha! The squirrels at the court house were a very big deal---but I had never heard her say the word squirrel and she told me to look at the squirrels--so her and daddy went over to the trees to see them!! Daddy said on

e of her books have squirrels in them!! Poor child we do not have trees and squirrels in Hermiston!!! We then went to DB Farm Supply Store and looked at the bunnies!! Gretchie had fun "shopping."
We then decided to go to the Mexican restraunt for dinner---to celebrate!

"G" sat on her booster seat and started coloring on the napkin and two crayons I had in my purse. She was starving and she was munch

ing on chips! Until she said she had to go potty---like four times or more!! AND then would lay down on the floor and yell I have to go poopie!! Let me add it was just an attention getting she was dry each time!!! The last time I gave her a talk and she sat on my lap and drank pop with a straw!! So I could finish my dinner!(but I did box it up) When we left she voluntarily said thank-you to daddy for dinner!(cute) Then Lee says that was a great dinner and very relaxing-----probably because I spent half the dinner in the bathroom with a two year old!! Ha!! It was delicious and exausting for me----teehhee! So what ever perspective you want ----I probably will never forget it!!

The ride home it was 6:30 pm soo we sang and did the ABC's and counted! I had no voice left-haha!! I turned the light on and the radio up. As soon as I got on the off ramp into Stanfield "G" fell silent ---and asleep!! YIKES!! She can fall asleep faster than anyone!! I tried to shake her foot awake but NO--so I pulled over at the P.O. and woke her up and gave her some chips from my dinner!! We still had ten minutes to get home!! She was in a great mood---I am not quite sure I would be with the light on, shaking my foot and someone singing and the radio on!!!

Saturday we went to Echo and daddy and mommy took G on the slides and swings at the school playground! We stopped and had two brownies at the truck stop while we used the bathroom!! G turned to daddy and said thank-you so much it was yummy in my tummy!! Saturday nap she took 2 hours to go to sleep----and earned 6 stickas for going potty when she was suppose to be taking a nap!!! Can not believe she went ever time!!

We did our grocery shopping Saturday afternoon while we got an oil change! Then Sunday church G made a candle craft and sang This Little Light of Mine!! She loves music and was singing the song all day!!! Sunday nap she pulled the potty stall trick on me again--she went twice in the potty and the third time I did not believe her--she started crying and went in the diaper---UGH! I should just believe her--but would you under the circumstances of going to bed and being 2 years old and the

last couple days history???

Sunday night better going to bed---- but the cat was meowing again and G slept through the night (she has been in a habit waking up once and coming in about 3:30 am!!) She woke up ths morning and said I SLEPT ALL BYSELF!!! ah--finally again!!
