Go Fish!
We had a full day today. Emily and I started the morning by getting some doughnuts (Emily's request.) After breakfast we decided to go out and run some errands. Emily got to go to a kids only salon and get her hair cut. We got three inches chopped off. I forgot my camera, but decided it wasn't that big of deal because this is like her fifth hair cut. Don't know why but I started crying (LOL)! I think it was because it seemed like we were cutting a lot of hair off at the time. How silly, hair grows back! Emily got to sit in this really cool fire engine while getting her beautification treatment! After lunch she took a nap and I decided it was a good time to run to Walmart. Dad was home and if you have any young children whatsoever you know that it becomes a chore going to Walmart with them. I saw the "Going Fishing" game and remembered it from when I was little. I thought how perfect it would be for Emily and decided to purchase it. (The age started at 3 and Emily is pretty smart so I thought No big Deal!) How much it has changed from when I was little. I remember the fish to be cute with almost smiles on their faces. These fish had Teeth! Crazy sharp ones! You had to catch them basically by their teeth instead of with a magnet like when I was little. I haven't even mentioned the fact that the fish swim around the circle at about 50 MPH! So we had a little trouble at first (Emily, Andy AND I). Emily being the smart girl that she is decided she would shove the pole in their mouth and fling them out across the room! Not what the directions said but still, very funny! Anyways- what a day! Attached you will find a picture of a lonely fish on a pole, placed there, not caught, but who's keeping track??
