Big Fun Friday Night

Around our house, on Friday night, we have started a new tradition that I thought I'd share. It's lovingly called "Big Fun Friday Night". The evening starts after daddy gets home from work, changes into "going out" clothes (jeans instead of the suit and tie) and reveals his plans for "Big Fun".

We've only just recently instituted BFFN, but some of the adventures we've had have included feeding the ducks in a local park, followed by dining at Cici's Pizza, going to the "puppy store" (aka PetSmart) and dining at Cici's Pizza, walking around Walmart and dining at the Subway housed inside, and my personal favorite...walking around the mall, visiting the pet store and eating "rice" (Chinese) at the food court while topping the evening off with a ride (or 5) on the "Bid Uhstairs" or as the rest of us know it, the escalator.

Can you think of anything more fun?

Here are some recent pictures that I'll share as well. The first is of Emily "helping" daddy install a new kitchen faucet. She has her "heemer" at the ready. The second and third are from today. We are going, along with our extended family, on a vacation to Disney World in June, so I bought Em a bathing suit with Minnie Mouse (her favorite). This is the second try. The first one (a size 4) was too short and small. This is a size 5! The bottom is a little too big and the top could still be bigger. Our 2.5 year old is going to be Amazon woman!

Oh my, it does appear Emily is going to be very, very tall.

It think the BFFN is a great idea. Keep us posted on the other adventures.

When my son was really little, his pediatrician told us she had a soft spot for the tall kids, because people would think they were older and then expect more grown-up behavior from them. So when a tall 2-year old would cry, people thought that was too baby-ish for a 4-year old and would look down on the (big) little one. After she said that, I had the same soft spot, especially since my son was one of the tall ones.

My heart for Emily is even softer than before. She's such a cutie!
