Q-Bear

Emmie had the class stuffed animal for the Weekend, Q-Bear.  The first thing Emmie did was build Q-Bear a house.  Complete with a mailbox, bed, artwork, bookshelf (and titled books), etc.  Her friends were enthralled.

Quotes

We couldn't find the remote for the DVD player, "Gosh, now we won't be able to watch Harry Potter.  We're doomed."

Emmie:  Emanuel, at school, said that girls couldn't throw a football.

Kris:  What did you say?

Emmie:  I said, oh yeah, took the ball from him, threw it and then said, I thought you said girls couldn't throw a football.  It went just like a football is supposed to.

Kris:  What did he say?

Emmie:  Oh, I thought girls couldn't do that.  He's new.

(Eric and I didn't know Emmie knew how to throw a football)

Emmie was in charge of Crosley for a few minutes.  I told her she did great, "Yeah, I even did that fist thing in her throat so she'd stop biting.  There sure is a lot of saliva in there."

Crosley was spayed this past week and was in a sedated state when I picked Emmie up from Lovely Lane, "I like THIS Crosley (calm and not nipping) more than the sometimes crazy one."

Quotes

Upon dropping something in the car, "Mom, it's between your seat and the center counselor."

Mom turned the Braves game on just as their opponent hit a home run...
Mom: How cool is that?
Emmie: Not gnarly at all.

Seeing Double

The twins were back from UNI for the weekend, and stopped by to say Hi (they ran the NewBo half marathon Sunday morning).
Mom:  Emmie, which one is Claire?  And which Jeanne?
Emmie:  Claire & Jeanne (pointing to each)
Claire:  Nope.  Try again.
Emmie:  Jeanne & Claire
Claire:  Correct
Emmie:  Yeah, that was my second guess.

Neighborhood Pool Party

Hawkeye Football!

As a tribute to Uncle Dan, we made our way to a Sports Bar for Opening Day!

Crosley Pics

US Open

Crosley and Emmie made an appearance at Saturday morning practice.  Crosley enjoyed chasing tennis balls.

While playing her Typing game, "Hey, it wants me to type the word hike.  I'm not sure whether they mean like the football term, or let's go on a hike."

At play....

Woof, Woof

While reading a Biscuit book, we discovered that Crosley barks each
time Biscuit does....

Welcome Crosley Lane!
