Going Out For Nachos

Evie – “MomMom drew herself in purple.  I drew me and Dad and you.  The squiggly stuff is clouds.”

Nana – “That looks like a 4, what is the 4?”

Evie – “That’s your seat!”

Nana – “Oh, yeah, that’s the car.  I see it now.  We went somewhere?”

Evie – ” Yeah, out to dinner.  We’re having the nachos!”

OOA

Went to Out Of Africa yesterday.  We had a fantastic time.  Evie fed a giraffe and a camel. We saw ostriches, zebras, antelope, lions, panthers and more.  We went to Tiger Splash. We got really lucky and walked right by a white tiger and a white rhino, neither of which came out on the tour for everyone else.  I had no signal, so couldn’t post and don’t remember all the adorable responses but I do remember as we were leaving, Evie said:

“Thanks for coming with us, Nana.  I wouldn’t a had any fun without you!”

I know she would have but it was a nice cap on the end of a great day.  Soooo much fun!

Our Garden

Evie and I are growing some romaine lettuce, green onions and garlic.  Today I picked 3 green onions and we cut them up and put them into my salad.  I told her she probably wouldn’t like them but she should try one since we grew it ourselves.  I gave her a green stem of one and she tasted it.  Her eyes got wide and she said:

“I really thought you were gonna be very, very right but these are actually quite tasty!”

 

Briggely Brownies

Evie gave me this recipe for Briggely Brownies: Flatty Fish, Egg Shells, Jiggly Wiggly Pudding, Eggs and Dashing Dooberries.

“You stir it (add some water so it’s easier to stir it), put it in a brownie pan and then into the oven.  Then when it comes out, you have Briggely Brownies.  Then you add a hint of Dashing Dooberry juice”.

A few minutes later, she’s going “Oh, no.  It was supposed to be two hints of Flatty Fish.  Now I have to start over.”  She worked on making this recipe over and over for quite awhile, adjusting the recipe with additional hints of this and that.

Later, Dad came by and she told him the recipe but at this point it was 2 hints of Jiggly Wiggly Pudding.   I said “2 hints of Jiggly Wiggle Pudding?.  That’s not what you said earlier.  Maybe that’s why you had to do it over again.”

She said “Well, I thought I knew what I was doing!?”

 

Pop Tart Person

I usually break Evie’s Pop Tart into 3 pieces.  I gave it to her today and she rearranged them into this and said:

“Look, Nana.  My Pop Tart has a smiley face!”

We brought Dad in to show him and she told him “It’s a Pop Tart person and he’s excited.”

Caring For Baby

We were on our way to the library and Evie’s gathering up her stuff.  She told me she was going to get her baby some stuff she’d need for the trip.  She came back and told me:

“I decided not to take the pacifier because the baby decided not to be annoying”.
