Toothless

Miku bowls

We went bowling a couple days earlier and I snapped some great photos and took a couple videos. Later when she was looking at them, she erased everything on my camera, about 3 weeks worth of pictures of students at the end of year parties. The worst thing of it was that I had protected all the photos while we were bowling so I could easily delete everything else that had been downloaded. I then unprotected them when I was finished, only to have her erase them. Ah well.

Trip to the Aquarium

Miku's whole school went to the aquarium and I got to tag along.

Penguins!



Touch tank (with escaping octopus):



Underwater in the touch tank:

Emma goes bowling!!!

She didn't do too bad. Now she knows not to cross the center line.

Finger Nail Polish

Poor Emma, Sticken with fear that she would be in trouble did everything she could to get away from answering the question. I think Tigs was just a little younger when I found her in my room painting her nails. The left over stayed on the carpet for a long time.

Emma Options

A nice video of Emma trying to manipulate her mom into deciding on her options rather than the options given to her from her mom.

Emma and the Bolt Stuffed Aminal Dog

Emma has a thing for stuffed animal dogs. Right after I left she came up with the idea to get a stuffed bolt animal dog. I found one on amazon, had her look at it to make sure she would like it, then bought it. Of course I fell into the trap that Amazon sets when you put something into the shopping cart. They suggest other things that people bought when they purchased a bolt stuffed animal dog. There were a few bolt books, one was a coloring book the other just a little bolt story book. I thought "what the hell, Emma would like those" so I added those to the cart as well. After I finalized the order I realized the stuffed animal dog was coming from a third party seller and not amazon. So there would be two boxes shipped, one with the books and the other with the dog.

Sure enough the book box was sent first and the dog the following day. So as luck would have it the books were scheduled to show up one day before the dog. I knew this was going to be a problem when Emma started asking where the bolt dog was that I got her. Every day she asked me when it was going to get to the house. I explained to her that she had two boxes coming and the first one was not going to be the stuffed dog. I didn't want her to be too disappointed when it showed up and there was no Bolt inside.

Steph got the flip out when the first box showed up:





And then this:





Luckily the Bolt dog showed up the next day:






That was a close one, I will have to plan better next time.
