Little Miss Chatterbox

This girl could not be cuter, am I right?!

Muffin time! haha

Penne & meatballs for lunch, and I finished this book! And it is mind-bendingly trippy and good and whoa. I’m practically begging Jeff to read it over the next nine days before my library loan is up, so we can talk about it together. I know he would love this science-filled novel about time loops and time travel and memory and I just really want him to read it!

Then my co-worker got a box of a dozen donuts, for FREE!, and brought them back to share with us. I grabbed a sprinkle one for me, and the Oreo one to take home to hubby.

Looks like she was a happy girl at school!

This girl was just having the time of her life out on the playground when I picked her up today!

After work and daycare, we had talked about meeting Jeff’s parents for dinner at a new-ish restaurant, Glory Days. But instead, we decided to order take-out from there, and eat it back at their house. Sit-down restaurants are just tricky these days with a busy, (sometimes/a lot of times )emotional two-year-old, and it’s easier to eat at home! So this way, no one had to cook, but we still got to enjoy delicious food, in the comfort of a familiar environment, and not worry about bothering other patrons!

After eating dinner at their house, we helped out with some more painting projects (I worked on this little shelf & Jeff did the edging on the stairs) and Emerson got some play time for a little while.

After getting ketchup on her romper at dinner, she insisted on new clothes. So we changed into the spare outfit from the diaper bag.

Watching for birds…

She stole my drink!

And she’s obsessed with ice.

We headed back across town to our house. We got Emerson in her mermaid nightgown, then read her mermaid book, in her mermaid bedroom. After we read, I turned her around to face me, and asked her about her day. She told me she played with pink Pay-Doh (it was blue in the photo though), and then she just started counting to 10! I asked her who were her friends at school, and she told me William, Andrew, “Bidget” (her old teacher Ms. Bridgett), and Ms. Q! I asked who else, and she stumbled over Olivia, but I figured out who she meant. And then she told me she held hands with Brayden and sang “Ring Around the Rosie!” We chatted a bit, and then I told her we could talk more in the morning because it was bedtime now, and she was like, “no, we keep talking, mommy.” So we kept talking for a few more minutes. She is going to be Little Miss Chatterbox for sure! (Which was also one of my nicknames as a child.) She is honestly so sweet I can’t even handle it!

And then we finally did night-night prayers followed by lullabies. And that little girl was exhausted! Hoping she has a great night’s sleep, because we’ve got a pretty busy weekend ahead of us!

Well, we finished the 16 episodes of The OA in an embarrassingly short 7 days…. We were just instantly hooked on it, and couldn’t get enough! Sadly, Netflix cancelled it just last month, after only two, 8-episode seasons, so that’s it. There are some theories out there it’s just part of a stunt based on the last few minutes of the season two finale, but I don’t really know … I read a few articles about it today, and this sentence just struck me funny: “To attempt to describe the central premise of The OA to a friend is to sound like an absolute lunatic.” Jeff actually tried telling his friend Ed about it the other day, but said it was really difficult to explain. It’s a mix of mystery, sci-fi, drama, fantasy and probably some other “genres” but we really liked it. And so now we’re back on the hunt for something new to watch! Who’s got suggestions again?!
