In addition to all the great fun things we did all week, we managed to get in a little time at home this week.
Mama wants Aunt Girl and Mister Anthony to come stay with us forever. They were very attentive to us all week and mama often took advantage of it by going upstairs under the guise of fetching something, but would just sit on the stairs and read a magazine in silence for 20 mintues before coming back downstairs. It was a great break for her.
Mister Anthony turned out to be a great artist and spent tons of time keeping Henry occupied with drawing of cars.
A big favorite in our house has been Henry's new Car Movie Town. Grams Cracker scored it at a church consignment sale and Henry has been earning it piece by piece by, ahem, doing his business on the potty, if you catch our drift. He finally earned all the pieces, including the accessories, and here's the town in all its glory. We were so pleased to find out that all of the signs light up, just like the scene in the movie where they fix up Radiator Springs.
Confidential to Disney: good for you. It's been 4 years (at least) since the release of Cars. But you're keeping it fresh. My new favorite tactic? Release a poster of all the movie race cars. Keep most of them our favorites, but add in a few so that we have to do a double take and wonder who that car is. Then brainwash all three year olds to say the words "I have Doc, I have Lightning McQueen. I have Boost. I have DJ. I have Wingo. I DON'T have Leak Less. " Then you make sure that Leak Less is in stock at Target for only $4! What is a mama supposed to do? Not get it for him? You are sneaky, Disney. Mama and Aunt Girl were estimating how many likenesses of Lightning McQueen exist in our house alone, and we're guessing it's in the thousands.
Annalise called our house requesting more videos of yours truely. We hate to disappoint.
Our master staller shows us how to put away all your lincoln logs with the least effiency.
On Friday, Mama and Aunt Girl took us to Bounce U, an inflatable playground paradise. It was great having an extra adult around so that I didn't have to go inside the inflatables and cry the whole time.
Henry had so much fun, but next time wants Mister Anthony to come too. Aunt Girl was too short to lift him over some of the climibing walls.
While Henry was inside playing, I hung around outside terrorizing babies in strollers. Mama did take me down the big slide a few times. I didn't cry, but I think it may be a while before I want to go down again.
