CHINESE PLAYGROUP

Rhonda: Where's Mimi and Elsie ?
Me: Well.....Elsie's driving a car and Mimi's got a shotgun.
Rhonda: Oh No!!! It's Thelma and Louise!!!

We just howled with laughter cause that's exactly how Mimi and Elsie are. That is no lie. Of course when it's with Blake, we call them Bonnie and Clyde. Of course Mimi had put her shotgun away when this picture was taken.

Not many families showed up. Just 4 in all. It was our family, Rhonda's, Simona's and Kris. Greg was the only guy there. Poor fella. None the less we all had a good time as always.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE.

Today was Nicole's birthday party at the fairly new Bounce It Up place out in Black Diamond. Nicole is a girl who lives just kitty corner from us. Although we have lived here for 3 years already, we are now just getting to know Nicole and her family. They don't come outside as much as we do. However I am now getting to know Rosie (the mom) a litttle better as we see each other every morning when taking the kids to school.

Mimi did not know most of the kids however her usual group of cronies were there. In the picture Mimi was duking it out with Rachel (shown seated next to Erin). Rachel has the pink shirt and Mimi is wearing the pink pants.

Later on Blake came up to me and said that Mimi was ignoring him and not being very nice to him. I called her over and asked her what was going on. "I don't want to talk about it" she said. I then peppered her with a bunch of questions...."was he mean to you? did he say something to hurt your feelings?" The list went on and on. Every answer was "No". Then she said that she kept falling down on the bouncy matteress and that made her mad. So I explained that it was ok to get mad but that she should not take it out on anybody especially her friends. She and Blake soon kissed and made up so to speak.

When we got home was when I got the whole skinny on the situation. Mimi and Blake had been duking it out in the ring and according to Mimi, Blake knocked her down 20 times. Well.....hello, Blake is twice as tall as she is so of course that will happen. Dad says that knowing Blake, he most likely was gloating about it too.

All in all the kids had a great time and so did the parents. Then it was time to go home for about one hour till we headed out to Auburn for the monthly Chinese playgroup.

IT'S CIRCUS TIME!!!
