impractical jokers is randy's newest favorite show... and i'll admit, it is pretty funny. but it makes me SO UNCOMFORTABLE to watch. i get anxious during every episode, and basically i'm just a weirdo. bless my little introverted soul.
anyway. so yes. lots to do, lots to do. but i want to share our fun weekend before i probably (very highly likely) abandon this little blog for two weeks.
saturday night we went to bakersfield christmastown with our favorite neighbors!
it was so much fun, and the kids LOVED it. they had so much to do and see, and i have a feeling we will come back and visit every christmas as long as we are living here!
they had "ice" skating (it was some sort of plastic tiles, but you wore ice skates? idk, i let randy take presley, and by LET, i mean designated. not my kinda fun.), hay rides (eli's favorite!), snow tubing down a giant slide (presley and i went, so fun!), face painting, characters (elsa apparently got braces 😂), tons of bounce houses, and of course, christmas lights.
sunday at church was the kids christmas program that presley was SUPPOSED to sing in. but nope. she told me she "got shy". that girl!
sunday afternoon we had our neighborhood christmas party at the clubhouse. before we left randy said, "i wish we didn't have the party tonight. i just want to stay home and not go anywhere." that is literally something that comes out of my mouth at least once a week. we are so boring, and i'm not even mad about it.💁
the party was so cute! we took a horse drawn carriage ride around the neighborhood, and had some fun in the photobooth. they had an ornament decorating station for the kids and mr. and mrs. claus came for pictures (even though we chose not to participate for eli's sake!).
today presley had TWO christmas performances, which made for a super long day, but seeing her up on stage makes it all worth it.
this morning she had a little christmas show at dance class! they performed a couple little dances and she was just precious, duh. 💗💗💗
tonight she had her christmas program at school (at 6:30pm...why?). she did so great up there singing her songs. i took videos, but no pictures... ugh. of course. there were LITERALLY 99+ three to five year olds on stage and all of their parents and relatives in a smallish place and it was a tad overwhelming, so forgive me.
i can't believe my birthday is in a couple days. i told presley that, and she got really upset and just really wanted it to be HER birthday in a couple days. she started crying about it. i told her like 324 times that you CAN'T CHANGE YOUR BIRTHDAY. and she insisted that you can, and that she wants hers to be in two days. i told her NO, that it was MY birthday in two days, and so she said, "ok, then i want my birthday to be in three days." 🙄
she is surely a mess, but so is her brother. he copies every.single.thing she does and says.
lately she has really been into sounding out words and figuring out which letter they start with... lots of "puh puh puh presley starts with P" and "sa sa sa sword starts with S".
she was doing it in the car the other day on the way home and pretty soon eli started too. his weren't quite as acurate.... "sh sh sh MOMMY" "duh duh duh PRESLEY!" "ca ca ca DADDY!"
he had me laughing so hard. 😂😂😂
he NEVER wants me to take his picture, like ever, unless i am making presley pose for a picture... then it's all "eli's turn! my turn! eli's turn! cheeeese!"😍
alright, i've got to stop. it's 9:13 and that means it's way past my bedtime. byeeeee.👋
