Adventures of the Northwest

all about Girl's night and girlie things...

Well last night Rachel and Mom were late arriving to the 'drome as there was an accident in Puyallup they had to fight through. Then they had to do dinner with the kids and Johnathan had such a bad accident he needed new pants so they stopped at Target in Issaquah.
They made it up there when the training session was done. The kids ran to me when I called their name and gave me a hug. Johnathan and Abby wanted to see me on my bike but I already had my shoes off, etc. Then John decided to start running on the track. He was the track king as he ran to turn 1 and slid down. No problem. He kept going and then out of turn 2 he climbed up above the "Group Health" logo onto the rail. Then he slid on his butt all the way down. In the meantime, I was walking out towards him freaking he would get hurt. Abby had run half way around the track - mostly on the apron. I called for Johnathan and he worked his way towards me as Abby cheerfully reached me and shouted, "I did it! I did it!" She was shaking with enthusiasm as she hugged me.

Then we walked off the track and I was saying good-bye to Jane. The kids wanted a ride on the bike. We put John up by the stem and he held onto the handlebars. Abby sat on the seat. Rachel and I held the bike from both sides and we rolled them out to the parking lot. As we were reaching the parking lot they wanted off but they wanted to help Auntie Molly push her bike. So Johnathan held onto the handlebars and Abby the seat.

We reached the cars, said our good-byes although Johnathan cried he wasn't coming with Auntie Molly. I had to promise him I'd have him another weekend. Then Abby and I worked our way home. I got the scoop from Abby how she loved seeing the water, she was going to get a drivers license, she was going to get married. Married I said? Tell me more. She said I'm going to marry my grandpa Ross because daddy is already married to mommy. I said yeah but grandma Lori is married to grandpa Ross. That didn't matter... she was going to marry him.

We got to my apartment and she helped me open the doors and felt very proud about doing so. Then she helped me carry a bag on our second trip from the car and opened the doors again. Once in she immediately was investigating the apartment. She saw my Lemond bike and immediately I told her there were more - one in the closet, bedroom, etc. so she looked in the closet. Then she looked in the bedroom. She said, about Milly, oh I like this one! This one is pretty! She was admiring it by touching all the different color sections on the tire, touching it, etc. Then she sat on my bed and noticed my hello kitty basket and a bunch of flowers (from my TOPS graduation). She then stated I need to get a ring. I said oh yeah, how come? She said to get married and I need to get all the other stuff too. (What are they feeding this child anyway?!?!) Then she admired my Ti bike and said she liked that one too. She then liked my Hello Kitty toaster. LOL! A girl taking after her Auntie!

So she wanted to find the bag of goodies that auntie Molly bought and she carried in. She couldn't find it so I played the hot, cold game and she figured it out finally. :) The bag had her light up necklace, bracelet and earrings set; bubbles and DVDs. What she really wanted was to watch the Hello Kitty DVDs I bought. I told her she needed to take a bath first. So she took a bath... she wanted to use my Hello Kitty sparkling soap. She wanted bubbles in her bath. I told her we could use the Hello Kitty bubbles so I brought out my Hello Kitty container with bath bubbles. She was sooooo excited. (Can you tell I make a better auntie to a girl than a boy?)As she took her bath she played with the vampire and witch ducks on the tub. She introduced the witch duck to the vampire one by stating: hello, I'm a halloween witch duck. She kept calling the vampire a pirate... ok.... ;)

So then we watched one of the Hello Kitty movies. They are actually quite cute and funny. They put a bit different spin on things with sleeping kitty, cinderkitty, kitty locks and the three bears, kitty and the beast and snow white kitty and the one dwarf. We enjoyed watching the movies and then went to bed. It was very cute. :)

After eating breakfast, now we are going to get ready to go for a bike ride soon. YEAH! Should be a blast.
