Well, if you know me, or my mother, you know how much we enjoy shopping on eBay. Early this week we had ordered a couple of things for Alaina and they both came today! Hooray!! I love to get things in the mail! The first thing to come was a set of kangaroos to go with Alaina’s Fisher Price Ark. My mom had tried to order Alaina a set of kangaroos prior to this set and she received the set on the right in the picture above. See anything wrong with this set of kangaroos? Like, oh, I don’t know, perhaps the fact they both have pink bows? They both have a baby? They are both GIRLS? Now, without offending anyone who might be reading this, there is a problem with these ladies joining my ark. You see, Noah collected animals two by two, one of each gender, for a reason. So that after the earth flooded, they could repopulate. Unfortunately for “Kanga” and her life partner, they don’t have the ability to do this. (I’m not sure how they got those Joey’s in their pouches – perhaps they adopted?) My main issue with this is having to eventually explain this to my daughter at what I know will be far too early of an age why both of the Kangaroos are girls. Kids are very perceptive as you know and I am not quite ready to go out and buy the book “Heather has Two Mommies.” (I could probably write the book “My Joey has Two Mommies” Ha ha! Get it?!?) Anyway – don’t you ever remember questioning things like this when you were young? Keeping on the subject of Kangaroos – did you ever wonder while watching Winnie the Pooh where Roo’s father was? I mean, Kanga was a perfectly good mother to Roo, but seriously…are we to believe Roo was a product of immaculate conception? I think not. These are the questions I wish to avoid for as long as possible. Therefore, here came the new set of Kangaroos, one of each gender, for the ark. The second thing that came was a set of peek-a-boo blocks that I had wanted for Alaina before she was born, didn’t buy, they quit making them, and the price jumped through the roof on eBay. I got a set of gently used ones for a pretty decent price so, I was happy with that. So, I had these big dreams of setting up this nice pyramid of the blocks and photographing Alaina with them for the blog. Well, you know kids, and you know what happens with the best of intentions. I set them up the first time and my cat ran behind them and knocked the whole thing over. I move the blanket where it wouldn’t get bumped and set it up again. Now Alaina wasn’t really interested in cooperating. This is the best picture I could get of her trying to look at them (and Duncan walked through)…
So I tried to sit Alaina up and before I got one picture she threw a fit and knocked all the blocks down…as seen here.
By now I was tired of the stupid pyramid so I just laid her down amongst the remnants of my beautiful pyramid. Probably the best one….JPG)
So yeah – those are the highlights of the day. I went back to work today and Alaina went to daycare and we are very excited that Daddy is FINALLY coming home from Phoenix TONIGHT!! Hooray Daddy! We missed you! On a side note I won’t be posting Friday and Saturdays blogs until Sunday as my only internet access will be dial-up and I just can’t deal with that. Ha ha! See ya Sunday!
