Work Hard/Play Hard

Emma and I had a long day yesterday of work, work, and more work! LOL! She was so good yesterday while I was trying to work, and also only got to watch her beloved Elmo movie once! We are trying to cut back because she just wants to watch it over and over. Back to the point of the story....after finishing up work I decided to take Emma to the school to play on the playground since she had been so good and also because Tuesday night is Daddy's fishing night so we didn't have to get home right away.

Emma is so independent and just chose what she wanted to do and did it. I wasn't dragging her from slide to slide and I didn't even have to help her up the steps! Yikes! She is growing too fast! I took a bunch of cute pics of her playing and decided to try out a slide show instead of add each picture individually! We shall see how this turns out!

As apparent in the photos her favorite part of the playground is definitely the tunnel. She likes to throw a bunch of rocks in there, sweep them out and then get in the tunnel to get the last few rocks out. She really thinks she has accomplished a major task here and you can tell by the looks on her face when exiting the tunnel how proud of herself she is! LOL!

Also...the last four pics of her at the bottom of the slide with the black mat...she absolutely insisted on picking up every single rock from the mat before we could move on to anything else. After about 5 minutes of picking up rocks one by one I decided to speed the process along and swept some off with my feet. The last picture is when she was satisfied to move on to the next thing. LOL!

Also, have to say congrats to Ben on his fishing tournaments. They got 5th place last night at the Lake Hamilton Tournament. However, last Friday nights tournament on DeGray he got 2nd place with 20 lbs. of fish! GO BEN! I forgot to mention that in early posts so had to add him in there. I will have to get him to take pics with his phone if he can remember! He wont take a camera because he says that is bad luck! LOL! He has another tournament tomorrow night (Thursday) so wish him luck then as well!

And last, but certainly not least...I wanted to thank Aunt KK for being one of my followers! Sounds kind of cult like, but I like it! *big smiles* Also Christy & Grace stopped by I see and left a comment and Mom the Bomb, which I am assuming is my Mom stopped by! Thanks girls and I hope you continue to enjoy and check in frequently. At the rate I am going we may have new pics every week! WhooooHooo!
