The Bestest Day in the Whole World!

Emma and I had a mommy/daughter date today. It was a lot of fun and a day I will remember for a long time. I love having a girl and having only 1 so it can be "special" time. I know God decides these things, so those of you that have two...you just get even more special time. Vance and I try really hard to do things with just one child every now and then. It most often works out that it is him and Colby and me and Emma, but sometimes we mix things up. I love listening to Vance retell a day with Emma...she's quite the character.
Sooo....our day.

We left at 7 to be at the doctor at 9. Everything checked out good, so don't call after 10 tonight:) Then Emma and I started out at Toys R Us, because she just thought that sounded like a good idea. She bought a new Cinderella dress b/c her other one was so tattered that Cinderella wouldn't have worn it to clean in! After that, we headed to Old Navy. There Emma chose her Halloween costume, a butterfly. She hemed and hawed until she decided, but stated that it was a VERY hard decision. I also bought some new shirts. Then, on to Chuck E Cheese. We were one of three families there, the food was great and it was very calm. We played lots of games and then ate and then played some more. We were concentrating on a shooting game and a shadow came over us. It was Chuck E himself! Emma got to dance with him. It was great, although she said his hand was smooshy!




This horse was really neat. You could make it go fast, jump, and turn. She's watching a screen that makes her look like she's running a race. She rode this thing about 10 times!

She also thought it was pretty neat to dance on the big screen!


After our lunch we headed to the mall. A few more purchases and we were heading home. She said on the way home that bestest girls need to shop together more often!...yep!

P.S. An Emma funny....she is so impressed with herself b/c she can turn the light on and off in the bathroom without standing on the stool. Go Runt!
