Friday, Jim watched Liesl because at the last minute at work he got a pardon from the governor. Liesl and Dadda had a really great time with Grampa Jack and Aunt Sarah at Stoney. Liesl loved playing on the swings and running in the grass there. So much so that she didn't take a nap until right before I got home at 6:30.
Needless to say, she slept until the next morning. I had to actually wake her up for "swim class" Saturday morning. I put swim class in quotes because it seems like there is always something with this particular class when it comes to attending. This time, I had to go get Oma so she could watch her in the afterward activities planned and I was running really late. I got Liesl ready in the car and was doing pretty well for time, but when I got to the front desk they gave me the..."swim class? No swim class today. read the book" What book?????? I didn't get a book. It was like the scene from National Lampoon's Vacation "Didn't the moose out front tell you we are closed?" Needless to say I got a little mad because they didn't even mention it in class last week. I will stress to them to please "remind" us about weeks we don't have class as some of us have quite a drive.
After driving down there, we had a little time before going to look at dresses with Melisa. So the 3 of us went to breakfast. Another not so good idea that morning, because by that time, Liesl had been woken up before she wanted to be and drove for 1.5 hours with a "poop stop" at Oma's on the way down. So, this time, she was the one that became a little unhinged in the restaurant.
Well, dress shopping was so much more fun for her. Melisa always makes it for for Liesl. She got to play with some Legos there and a little toy car and she got to run into the dressing rooms and look at herself in the 360 degrees of mirrors all with different women's names on them. The first room she decided to run into was one on the other side of the store from us.......names Elizabeth which I thought was cute. Melisa tried her dress on for us because she has already made up her mind. It was gorgeous and Liesl gave her usual "OHHHHHHH". Oma and I thought it best to find the flower girl dress while we had the chance and she was there and Melisa was there. We found the perfect dress for her there. We tried on 3 there for her. The one that we are definitely going to get echoes Melisa's dress with beading on the waist and the bow in the back. We also found a tiny crown comb for her to wear in her hair. She was very good with trying on the dresses and when she walked over to Melisa to show her she was like a little peacock. She saw herself in the mirror and gave another "OHHHHHHHHH".Later in the day, Daddy and I took her for a walk to the park to play on the playground which she loved as usual especially the swings. Threw a fit, as usual, when we left the playground because she was too cold.
Easter Sunday we all went to Oma's house for some loose activities. We lounged around with Oma and Grandad and Uncle Scott and Melisa for a good part of the afternoon and took pictures out on the lawn of the family. watching out for land mines. Liesl had a good time running around on the lawn in her beautiful Easter dress with matching purse on her arm and little pink bow in her hair. We tried to take a drive past the new house and to Canterberry Village to see the chapel where Uncle Scott and Melisa will be married but it was closed. Liesl was asleep for her nap....finally.... so we drove to Great Lakes to have some Easter dinner at the Rainforest. It is the one restaurant that would be perfect for Liesl but she slept through the whole thing....even the thunderstorm! When we started back out the door she woke up after 2 hours (which are very far and few between) so we walked back in and gave her the tour. She was very wide eyed there. We will have to go back. When we got home we colored some eggs, which she and Oma will finish decorating and Liesl and I will search for when I get home from work. Should be fun.
Sorry this is so long if youre still reading! Have a good week if you made it through!
