It was a laid back kind of day.
Reagan and I just played around the house this morning. My mom and dad went down to Alliance to wait, while my Aunt Barb underwent hip surgery. She did great and should be able to go home tomorrow. Crossing our fingers!
She was having a lot of pain, so hopefully she'll be good as new now.
While Reagan and I were playing this morning, Reagan was taking in an episode of Dora the Explorer. We have been having her watch a lot of Dora, since she is one of the characters that are on the ship in Alaska. Our TV is mostly on Disney, when it comes to kids shows, so she had never really watched it. We wanted her to be at least excited for the events with Dora on the ship. Well, she took to it instantly and now it's one of her favorite shows. She's always asking for Dora and will sit and watch the whole thing. She shouts out answers and everything, it's so cute.
Well today, she suddenly got mad she didn't have a backpack. She was trying to use her little doctors bag as a backpack. I told her that we would get one someday soon.
Nana got home from the hospital right around lunch time, so we ran to lunch at O'Charley's. I was telling her the backpack story at lunch and she remembered that Sears had some little Dora backpacks. After lunch, we headed over there. Sure enough, they had a few, she was so excited! She even wanted to wear it out of the store.
We asked her what she is going to put in her backpack for the cruise and she said, "Mr. Fuzzy, Charlie Horse (who she named herself, amazingly), Puppy and mine blanket." It was so stinking cute! We told her if she puts all that in there, she wont be able to fit her crayons! LOL!
After Sears, we had to stop at YM to pick up some prints and I, ironically, have been wanting to look at their camera backpacks for Alaska. I want to bring all my camera gear on the excursions and wanted an easier way to carry everything. They had the perfect one, of course. Nana ended up getting one, too! So it was backpacks for everyone today!
This evening, Jim and Reagan went off to art class. They came home with another beautiful painting. This one used yarn and paint together. It was so cool!
They had a great time!
They unfortunately saw a really bad accident at Market and 224. Traffic got really backed up and they had to be re-routed.
When they got home, we were playing chalk in the driveway, when the ice cream man rolled around the corner. Reagan got excited, so we stopped him. She picked out a Hello Kitty ice cream bar. She had the best time eating it. She was a sloppy, sloppy mess. It was so adorable!
The photo of the day is Reagan and her ice cream bar...
I had to add her doing her art project...
And finally, I had to add the backpack picture. Jim and I both said, this picture makes us sad, because it won't be long till she'll be heading off with a backpack full of school supplies. :(
