Every year Jason goes on a road trip with his friends and leaves us girls behind! But we had plenty of princess fun while he was gone (which was a long time because he had a business trip right after, so he was gone for 6 days). On Saturday night we went to a Purim carnival which the kids loved, but it was a little chaotic for me! Thank goodness Grandma Sharon came with us because I spent most of my time chasing around Lizzy!
They had this animal bounce house and Lizzy just thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I couldn't keep her out of it. Lately, she just loves to jump. She will go up to the couch or Sydney's bed and just say "I want jumpeee, I want jumpee". So, she was in jumping heaven at this carnival. It's too bad that the person in charge of this particular bounce house wasn't a very nice woman. She was getting SO angry at me because I was having such a hard time getting Lizzy out. And when I finally did get Lizzy out, she just wanted to get back in, so we waited in line again. But the lady wouldn't let her back in because she said that other kids had to have a chance (15 kids were allowed at a time, so it's not like she was occupying the whole thing). I thought it was pretty fair that if we waited in line, that she should get to go again, besides it was the only thing at the whole carnival that Lizzy could do. So, I picked her up and threw her over the walls of the bounce house...the lady really loved me then...not!! But Lizzy had fun while Sydney and Grandma played games, won prizes, and ate popcorn! We only got to see Lily and Jake for a quick second due to the chaos...but we had fun!
On Sunday, I took Sydney to see Disney on Ice while Lizzy stayed home with Grammie and Grandpa. Grandma Sharon bought the tickets and thankfully again, she came with us becuase she spoiled Sydney rotten...there was no way I would have spent the kind of money that everyone else in that place was spending. Sydney's lemonade alone was $10...crazy if you ask me! She also suckered my mom into buying a Cinderella doll and glass slippers. It really was fun though! Sydney hasn't stopped talking about it. She got so excited every time a princess came out on the ice, it was so cute to watch her happy little face! She is at the perfect age now where she appreciates doing these kinds of activities and she even understood the whole story line! She's been reenacting scenes at home!

Fortunately, we survived the rest of the week...it was a long one...but we survived. Jason brought home a souvenier for Sydney from the American Girl store. Poor Lizzy didn't get anything! He bought her matching pj's for her and her baby. She was extremely excited! The only problem was that Sydney has twins and Jason only brought home pj's for one of them. Sydney doesn't quite get the concept of money and has no idea how much these things cost so she was a bit disappointed that the other baby didn't get any. She asked Jason all night long why he didn't buy two pajamas. So now, a week later, the "other baby" is sitting on the floor cold and naked becuase she doesn't have matching pj's too. Sydney refuses to put her clothes back on her, she wants her to have pajamas. Guess the baby will be naked for a while!!
