Spring Break

Valerie and Chloe came in for a visit.  Valerie's brother was down from Milwaukee to perform at Saratoga Springs, Disney for choir.  She went to watch the competition, and I watched Chloe for the day.

We started off with a visit to the dentist office as I had bonding that needed repair.  Chloe was such a good girl sitting in the chair reading books.  But then, to our surprise, peahens were on property!  She spent the rest of the time gazing out the window saying, "peacocks!"

Well would you believe I just happen to have my camera along, and this picture was taken from the window!!!  Dr. Ferguson told us 2 weeks ago, 30 of them were lined up on the concrete wall, and yesterday a peacock displayed his full array of feathers.  The hygienist showed me her video.  Wow!


When I was done, we went outside around the building for a closer look.


We were disappointed that the peacock wasn't there, but just as we got on the main road, glancing down the side street I spied him!  A quick u-turn and we were able to see him up close.  He didn't display his feathers for us though.  For those familiar with the Orlando area, these peacocks are hanging behind the Target on Goldenrod Road just south of Aloma Ave, and along Restful St.


After this, we went to a park.  Played for a bit, then came home and finger painted.  She was exploring what new colors to make from combining colors.  Such fun to make a mess!


We also did sidewalk chalk, read stories, had some lunch, went grocery shopping.  Then Grandma got a great idea.  Why not dye Easter eggs?


She didn't want to wear the paint shirt.  I told her to be careful not to get the dye on her clothes.  She followed directions very well.



The only dilemma I had was she had gotten some dye on her fingers.  She doesn't like that!  It took me 15 minutes to get it off.  Clinique cleanser came to the rescue.  Whew!  Catastrophe diverted!

I had put pizza in the oven for dinner.  Chloe climbed up in my lap and poor thing...she just couldn't keep her eyes open another minute.  She fell asleep 5 minutes before dinner was ready and there was no waking her up.


Once up Saturday morning, she had her tiara on that they gave her for being such a good girl at the dentist office and tells me, "take a picture".  Sure.  What grandma can resist a face like that!
