AK and I headed over to the Huys' for supper tonight. Jenni cooked some fish, seashell pasta and spinach salad with blueberries and cucumber. Everything but the spinach was a HUGE hit with AK and she ate a whole plateful of supper! She must have been very hungry!!! Matthew's been going for ice cream after supper lately so Jenni and I took the kids to Haagen Daaz after supper. You can get a pretty good deal if you get only a half scoop of ice cream!
Matthew ate his ice cream much faster than AK did and had to go pee. As soon as he and Jenni walked away to the washroom, AK wanted to go pee too. Do you know how hard it is to help a toddler pee while holding two ice cream cones? No? Well, it's not impossible but it was a bit of a juggling act! Once we finished with that fun, we started to walk back to the truck. AK was still working on her cone but started jumping up and down... and lost her ice cream. Splat on the sidewalk. She wasn't too upset but I could see her eyeing it, trying to figure out if she could somehow get it back into the cone. I got her to walk away before she could attempt that!
We had to park in the parkade as it was so busy at Camana Bay tonight. I parked on the lower level (basement) and when we got back down there, we discovered that it had a wonderful echo! AK thought it was pretty funny to hear her voice echoing, and even funnier to hear her laugh echoing back at her. We played with different words and sounds for a while. AK sang Jingle Bells all the way home for me.
It didn't take long to get AK's face wiped off, teeth brushed (with her new electric toothbrush!) and pyjamas on once we got home. She's already in bed, and I haven't heard a peep from her yet. I think it will be early to bed for me tonight too. I've been dragging my butt a bit all week.
Oh, I forgot to update on the 5K run... I ended up running only the first mile as my running partner didn't want to run much more. I didn't want to leave her behind so I walked the next two miles. I may try to keep running once a week just to keep my activity varied! xo
