Last Day

Our last day began with a trip to Meijers - got food and a birthday gift for Andrew - a bucket of duplo legos.
Allison then went downstairs and got "into" the house and dress up stuff. She is in another world when she plays there. Some of the dolls, dishes, kitchen, and dress ups are from Ashley!!!
Note the quilt hanging on the bar stools waiting to be basted. In the afternoon we went to the pool. Allison watched another little girl jumping off the edge holding a noodle. So she did it, then jumped to the noodle, and then off the edge with nothing ending up with a cannonball and sitting on the bottom of the pool - at least 12 times!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the same girl who on Tuesday would not put her face in the water!!


She became more sure of herself in the water - even falling off the noodle on purpose in water over her head to push off the bottom and grab the noodle!!!
She can't wait to show her parents and brother when she gets home - they have a trip to the splash park for Andrews' birthday on Saturday afternoon.

We stopped at Horrocks to get corn on the cob on our way home from the store in the morning. John and Allison worked hard to shuck the corn.



John has enjoyed Allison so much. She has enjoyed being the "only."


She ate a great dinner - ham, beans from the garden, corn on the cob and raspberries with cream.........YUMMMMYYYY is what Allison said after dinner. '
Note the placemat that she made......all those cat stickers and a coating of clear contac paper.

You caught me on that one - and I changed it. I can't tell you how many times we - and others - called Allison, Ashley.
