Plum Wine,Chloe Says the Cutest Thing and Blah Blah Blah

I am writing this tonight after a few glasses of plum wine. So...who knows if I will think it is a very good post in the morning.

Today was a great day. Maizie and I slept till 8! We met Susie and Chloe for a relaxing lunch. The girls were having fun coloring when a waiter came to ask Chloe about a magic wand she had. He said, "What is that? A magic wand?" Chloe was all shy about answering so Maizie said it was a wand. One of us asked what Chloe would do if she could make her wand do something magical. Cutie Chloe said she would do the following with her magic wand...

"I would make my butt a face." Susie and I about spit out our drinks we were laughing so hard. Susie asked Chloe why she would want to do such a thing.

Chloe smiled real big and said, "So I could talk to it!"

Well...of course! That makes perfect sense! Too funny!

After our wonderful lunch we went to It's Playtime. It is a place where they have big slides, toys, dress up clothes, hula hoops and all sorts of fun stuff. Best of all Susie and I got to sit back and talk and talk and talk. It is what we do best. The picture below is of Chloe and Maizie when we went to Botanical Gardens. I forgot my camera again today. This at least lets you see how cute they both are.

The girls had a blast. I was thrilled Maizie was getting lots of exercise. At one point Susie went to use the restroom and came back to tell me someone must have put a diaper in the trash. A very stinky diaper. I agreed since I had been in there many times before trying to convince Maizie that she did not need to go into the restroom every time she wanted to put a dress up outfit over her clothes. It smelled so bad!

I eventually had to use the restroom so bad. I looked around and saw that there were no men anywhere in sight so I headed over to the men's restroom for a smell free spotless experience. With hardly any men in the place it was super clean. Problem solved. Thankfully no one came in. I did get a few strange looks from a lady working there. Well, if they would empty the trash I would not have had to experience the men's restroom.

Once home Maizie played some Webkinz, Joe took the dogs to the park and I cleaned the house for a while. We had no plans for the night but before we knew it a group of us had decided to get dinner somewhere. Where? We usually decide at the last minute. Janeen brought up Indian food. I am usually not too crazy about that. It would not be Cindy's first choice either. In rare form, we both agreed. Poor Cindy is at home right now with a sore belly. Ah, the joys of Indian food. Anyway, I was totally out voted so I agreed to go. I actually had a great meal and have yet to get sick from it. Maizie even ate well.

I managed to fill everyone in on our goal to buy a Webkinz bath tub and my attempt at Second Life. Pat told us a long story about how some squirrels got into his house and he had a long stare down with one. It was a very long and detailed story...about him and a squirrel staring at one another. I could totally relate because I love my squirrel too. As Cindy pointed out though I would not want one in my house. No.

We all talked and talked and talked some more. I was actually losing my voice. See, this is what happens when you are an at home mom. You lack adult conversation and then when you are around friends you explode and talk till people are probably wondering if you will ever shut up. Oh, well. I am not saying I lacked adult conversation all week but with Joe traveling last week I did have lots of alone time. Oh, by the way...the movie Vacancy was super scary. I totally enjoyed it.
Between Pat, Joe and me we earned enough Webkinz cash tonight for a tub and a sink! Wahoo! Finally, Maizie's Koala can get a bath!
