Nothing much has been happening around the CK household. We had a snow day on Friday-WHOOOO HOOOOOOO-although it means tacking yet another day on to the end of the year. I really could care less, though. The nasty coating of ice didn't stop us from trekking it to the mall...luckily we only live about a 1 mile away. Gymboree has an amazing sale rack-$4.99 and under!! I got some cute outfits for a friend who is having a baby and my cousin who is adopting from Vietnam.
On Saturday, Elisabeth went to a basketball clinic with the PSU Lady Lions. I don't think the kid has ever shot a basketball in her life and was not happy about going. She did a super job and had a great attitude and was only attached by the ball 10 times. Instead of holding out her hands for the ball, she would turn and run away from it. She did take the time to run up to me and say, "I would rather be home being a hermit in my pajamas!" I gave her the old "you need to do more things" talk on Friday. The kid would honestly not ever leave home if she had the chance...she HATES sports, hates going out to eat (this alone makes me wonder if she is actually my child), HATES spending the night at her friends' houses, and HATES any kind of musical instrument lesson. I will say she can entertain herself for hours on end and doesn't need to have friends over in order to have a good time. If her extracurricular activities have anything to do with getting into a good college, I fear she will be working a McDonald's (NOT that that is a bad job) for the rest of her life.
I also made her go to that Hannah Montana 3D movie with friends. I THOUGHT the parents would also be attending this movie and found out that this was not the case when I went to drop her off. "Oh no, we aren't going to this movie. We are going shopping! The girls are going alone!" They are 10 years old and not mature enough to go sit in a theater by themselves!! Against my good judgment, I left her with her 2 friends and her cell phone and explicit instructions to NOT leave her seat for any reason AT ALL. Then I went home and freaked out for the 1.5 hours that the movie was running. I did call her to make sure she was okay. Our conversation when like this...
ME: Elisabeth, do not move from your seat for any reason.
E: MOMMY...I WILL BE FINE.
ME: Leave your phone on vibrate in case I have to get in contact with you.
E: I can't!! The screen says I can't have my cell phone on at all!!
ME: LEAVE THE DAMN PHONE ON!!!
E: But I will get in trouble!
ME: WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO DO??? MAKE YOU PULL OUT YOUR PHONE SO THEY CAN CHECK IT??? LEAVE IT ON!!!
E: Fine!! But don't call me unless it is an emergency!
ME: I WILL CALL YOU WHEN I WANT TO CALL YOU!!
I am happy to report she came home safe and sound. Anyone who still calls their mother "mommy" at 10 is not ready for an independent outing (and I LOVE the fact that she calls me that, don't get me wrong). They apparently had a licorice fight from their seats while applying their lip gloss while wearing the 3D glasses upside down. This just confirmed that she is NOT ready to attempt the movie theater without me.
We also went out with girlfriends to see "27 Dresses"...how cute!! I absolutely loved that movie :) I came home to the baby in bed, the house vacuumed and tidied up, and the laundry almost done. AMAZING!! What a guy :)
Now it is Sunday morning and Isabella is up with me-what a surprise! She slept into 8:30 only because she was up at 3 am playing with my hair, kissing my face, and rubbing my stomach. How can you get upset with that????
