Purple Plastic Purse

This past Saturday, Emerson and I were invited by a friend to attend a Playmakers Play, The Purple Plastic Purse.  Super cute and very well done.  It was my first time to attend a Playmakers Play in the LSU Swine Palace.  The kids sit on the floor in front and the adults sit in the seats behind.  Carmen and I were a bit confused by the whole story, but it held the girls attention the entire play. I will definetly take Emerson back to see more of the Playmaker performances.



 

This is Em and Garland, one of the characters.  Emerson said she was her favorite because her dress sparkled and it was the prettiest dress she had ever seen.

Valentine's 2013

 

As is the tradition, Denny came thru with another awesome homemade Valentine for Em and Me this year! We love to go back and look thru all the ones he has made us.



May be figuring some things out...

Today-

Emerson:  Mom, I have been thinking about something for awhile and I would like to ask you about it.
Me: What is it you have a question about?
Emerson:  Well, if Santa and his Elves make all the toys and gifts for all the children, then why are there price tags on some things I get? 
Me: (Swallowing deeply) Well Em let's think about this for a minute.  I am sure there has to be SOME shopping going on.  I mean, do you really think there are enough Elves to make everything?
Emerson: I am going to have to think about this some more.

HOLY CRAP!

Also today-

Emerson: Mom I have decided that after I am an LSU Cheerleader that I may would like to be a Florist and a really cool Waiter.
Me: I am going to have to think about this some more.

Her first New Orleans Mardi Gras

The Congemi's invited us to their St. Charles Ave. condo to watch Saturday's Mardi Gras Parade's. It was the perfect location and the perfect place to be with a child.  We had an inside to retreat too and a bathroom.  Emerson was so excited and stayed out in it for both parades.

 

Grandparents Chapel 2013

We had another successful Grandparents Chapel reception.  The conclusion of this event starts the Winter Break at Dunham. Here's to a great week off!

Dare Devil

To say that I am surprised that this is the first time we are having anything on her body X-rayed is an understatement, but there had to be a first.  Last Sunday, Denny and Emerson took their bikes to a local park to ride the trails and then Em wanted to play on the structures after.  Instead of climbing down the rock wall, she jumped off the top.  Cut to the next day when we are in the doctors office because she can't walk on her foot.  Luckily, there was no break or fracture, just a bad sprain.  She is finally getting to where she can walk on that foot again.

 

Cold Hard Floor

Looks like our 4 legged child will be sleeping on the cold hard floor.  He found it necessary to tear up the inserts to his bed while I was washing the cover.  PUNK!
