We had a really fun weekend!! The weather was absolutely gorgeous (especially for January) and we had a lot going on....birthdays, church, and spending the majority of Sunday out playing softball with Melanie! (I know she's my kid, but I think she is a natural!!) Mom Mom and Papa came out to see her play and Papa was offering his advice to her from the bleachers. While she was throwing, Papa told her to "Cock it back and then throw!" Melanie turned to him and screamed from across the field, "PAPA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT COCK IS!!!"
I took the girls out shopping to Michaels yesterday to pick out something for them to make for Eric for Valentine's Day. Melanie was walking beside me in the paint aisle, singing "Tik Tok" at the top of her lungs with Meredith dancing along in the cart. She stops singing, looks at me and says, "Mommy, who is Mick Jagger anyways?" People were giving me the strangest looks....
On Friday, Meredith somehow got on eBay and bid on a pink dress shirt for Eric, and then confirmed the bid, and THEN we got an email that she won it! So Eric now has a pink shirt on the way, courtesy of Meredith. Shopping is a gift she must have inherited from her mommy!
On Sunday, we took the girls to church, and they were both actually pretty good!! It was super cute because Melanie kept pulling Meredith into her lap and they were giving each other big hugs all throughout mass. The only really funny thing that happened was during communion, we walked up with the girls and the deacon was giving the girls' blessings. Melanie just smiled at him and followed Eric, and while he was blessing Meredith, she looked at him and started singing, "Baby Burrito, Baby Burrito" over and over again. He just smiled, but you could tell he was trying not to bust up laughing! I guess I am glad she starting singing her after bath song instead of something like Ke$ha or "Baby I Like it!" like she has been singing lately!
Meredith has also been doing the cutest "dancing" in the car lately. She says that she is dancing, but then you look back at her, and she is just taking her index finger and flexing it, making it "dance". It's really cute and I want to get it on video, but trying to video and drive at the same time makes it a little difficult!!
