Guests

Yesterday some guests were here and they couldn’t come in because they were on their way to visit someone who Dad said was ‘deathly’ allergic to cats.  Today Evie decided to set the table for her ‘guests’ who were ‘magically’ allergic to cats.  Since the table was ‘covered with cat fur’, she put a cloth on it first, set it with plates and cups and ‘placemats’ (cards from her Bingo game) and then built a cake (out of blocks) that she put in the center.  Quite a fancy 3 layer cake, I might add.  If you look closely, there is an orange dot on top of the cake.  That is the ‘lit’ candle (which is actually lava from a playset volcano).  Pretty fantastic.

Then she told me she lit the candle with this very special candle lighter (a cocktail stir stick) that she got from her kids great, great grandma.

What an imagination!

Reminders

Several weeks ago we went to a restaurant and the waitress told Evie she reminded her of her daughter.  Today we went to the same place and Evie asked me if that was ‘the girl’.  I wasn’t sure what she was asking so I told her that yeah, that was the girl who had just waited on us.  Apparently she meant the one we had last time cuz she said:

“Well, she reminds me of her daughter!”

Big World

We were in the car and got to talking about her Aunt who may be coming to see us in February.  Evie went on and on about all the stuff she wanted to show her.  I told her that was a whole lot of stuff.  Her reply?

“It’s a big, wide world waiting for her!”
