Hokus Pokus, Abracadabra

All of the sudden this weekend, E turned into a little magician. Not sure where she got it but it was pretty funny. We didn't get the really funny acts on video but this one gives you a taste of her performances!

Forgotten pictures from our Huntingdon visit

Alex had a business trip last month and so I thought it was a perfect time to take E to see Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Royce.

We sure are missing the sun already!

 seriously- how cute is she?

 

 

 This was literally about 2 minutes after we walked in the door!

 Obsessed and I mean OBSESSED with these cats...

Trying to find the kitty cats...I think all she said all weekend to everyone was "grandpa, where the kitty cats, Royce, where the kitty cats, mommy, where the kitty cats?" over and over and over!!!

Good times at Grandma & Grandpa's house!

Robot

I asked E this morning if she was making a tower. She said no, its a bobot (aka robot). She loves Robots these days.

She was getting frustrated because her mound of items for her robot would always fall over. So we decided to hit up the recycling and see if we could make her a robot to play with.

It was nice to be able to use up lots of the junk stuff  I had left over from making her quiet book.

This robot is going footless- we were too eager to play to try and find feet for it!

 She really wanted it to have a necklace...

 Check up for the robot

Not too sure how long this robot will last....I have a feeling it's head will come off at any moment! 

Maybe Alex and his mad engineering skills can fix it up for us!

I love to see the temple

 Loved her shadow!

Mclean High School Hall of Fame

Elsa and I went down to DC this weekend with my dad to see him get inducted into the McLean High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

Way to go Dad!


E had a full day of driving, pre-game activities, and a late night football game, all with no nap. She was a trooper and had a blast!

Elsa and Marianne at Clydes before the game

E loved all the music at the football game. She danced and got lots of fun reactions from the crowd and those passing by....

 Hiding in the bleachers

 Dancing to the marching band in the bleachers

 Watching some football. She even let out a "Yay Steelers" a few times!!

Children's Museum

We finally went!

We had all kinds of fun but was disappointed because I was under the impression that we would be able to play in/see Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Someone said they got rid of it. They had the puppets behind glass to look at and a big trolley but that was it.  Bummer! I mean, isn't that a Pittsburgh staple??!?! (or maybe I just thought they had something they never did?)
