One beautiful spring Saturday afternoon, Mimi joined us for karate and then a trip to White Rock Lake for a playground date.
Aidan and Julia, you had such a sweet time with your grandma (my mommy!). You smelled the flowers, showed off, played spaceship with her, played "shop" with her ("what you wanna buy" -- Julia), and generally had a blast.
Julia, you showed off your strength of body- climbing to great heights unassisted in Jellies.
Aidan, you showed off your strength of spirit- socializing and making friends with everyone else on the playground. You even convinced some of your new friends to share their balloons with you!
A sweet afternoon turned even sweeter when we heard "all around the mulberry bush" start to play...it was an ICE CREAM TRUCK! I typically play the whole "I have no money" card (because I'm cold and sugar blah blah blah); but Mimi is a much cooler customer and asked you both if you'd like to buy some ice cream from the ice cream truck!
Of course, you said YES! (and Thank you!)
Aidan, you chose the Spider-man ice cream immediately and without hesitation.
Julia, you chose the Wonder-woman ice cream. Which didn't exist. After a brief explanation that you had to choose from the pictures on the side of the truck, you readily picked a Hello Kitty.
Mimi and I shared an ice cream sandwich!
Kisses for Mimi.
'ICE CREAM!!!!!'
Aidan, you wore more of your ice cream than you ate. And were not a fan of the blue parts of Spider-man or his gumball eyeballs. Julia, Hello Kitty was no match for you.
Later that night Aidan, you told you Spider-man pajamas that his eyeballs were yucky and you didn't like the red part, but that the blue part was delicious.
Mimi had to go home to prepare for Molly's baby-naming ceremony (baking cookies), and we gave her sticky hugs and kisses goodbye.
And we had a lovely rest of our afternoon down by the lake-side and playing.
It was a sweet afternoon with such a sweet lady: your Mimi.
