We did some swell walks with Rizzo and Emmy. There were some days that weren’t good for walking but overall I think it went well. I put Emmy’s hair in a crazy bun like my own and she’s in love with it. Everyone says she looks great with it too.
Thursday night I met up with Frankenstein at US Golf & Games at eight. The place is in a not so great area but we made due with what they offered. We played basketball, putt putt, skeeball, and various arcade games like Mrs. Pac Man and Jurassic Park shooting. We also tried doing baseball but it was too slow and practically at our dollar.
Speaking of baseball, I went and tripped over a few bats as we were leaving. Yep, this is me, y’all!
We had given our tickets to the little boy next to us but when it started clearing out we kept our tickets and I went and got a duckie and snake. I said it was for Emmy, but it isn’t. The guy at the counter let Frankenstein get the same even though we didn’t have enough tickets. I wonder what he did with his toys.
Friday, I ended up working and then took Emmy to play at JJ’s. The first picture kills me because she literally sat there waiting for me to get off work so we could go.
All smiles, so much fun was had. Mallory and I had some wine that sparkles rose gold which was pretty cool.
JJ showed her his pokemon card collection as well as his new playground set. Emmy wasn’t a big fan of bugs and I’m certain JJ only remembers her wailing about them as he “killer” them for her.
Over 3 hours later we had to leave. The cutest thing happened. JJ went over to Mallory and said something along the lines of, Emmy is leaving and I’m sad. It’s crazy how they weren’t playing together in the beginning but ended up they were both sad to say goodbye.
Saturday morning, to get out of the house, I took Emmy to Hobby Lobby, Whole Foods and World Market. She was hungry but she LOVED shopping and asked if we could go to one more store. This girl is crazy.
After dinner Emmy, Mum, June and I went to Cornelius Nursery and Target. Mum and June went to Fiesta while Emmy and I went and got drinks at Zero Degrees.
She ended up drinking pretty much all the pink and purple drinks. She said we had to share which is true but she hasn’t learned to not take all of everything. Slow and steady … She’ll get there.
There was a sale for an automatic hair curler and I snagged one. I was tired after doing a few strands since my hair is so long but this morning I went and did my whole hair for testing purposes and it’s worth it. I just need to cut my hair though so it’ll finish quicker.
I met Frankenstein at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center at noon. We walked for over three hours until I had to call it a day on walking. I went and got us palletas: watermelon for me and a passion fruit mango, I believe for him. So perfect due to the hotness.
I had my own water bottle and he kept it in his backpack with his water. I didn’t find out until I finished my water bottle that he had one for me too! I’m over here conserving my own when I could have drank so much more. We walked around their Nature Center as well and then decided on a whim to get drinks and snacks.
We ended up at the Loch Bar .. the fancy area, Rover Oaks. We were both in workout gear so I felt a little awkward but we both ended up getting two old fashioned each and shared the pork belly and mussels appetizers. We talked about so many random things and by the time I looked at my watch, it was flashing six pm. We bid farewell and I headed home.
I went home to an Emmy asking why I was gone so long. Sadly after my shower I started getting chills and now I’m just hot all over. Definitely red from the sun. He had sunscreen in his backpack too. I should have reapplied. Hoping I’ll feel better tomorrow.
So much Emmy and Ethan time was had this week. I’m hoping work won’t go over too late again so I have even more time with them. I will say Ethan is not a fan of my curled hair and would scream. So weird. He probably thinks I’m someone else.
