Girls Week

Sunday 2/20/11

Ellie and I woke up early to walk Daddy to the flybus.  He is headed to North Carolina for the week.   We haven’t told Ellie exactly where he is going since she would probably be on the plane with him.  After dropping him off we walked home and made a special pancake breakfast.  The rest of the day was a mix of catch up and girly girly.  We played tea party, dress up, baby dolls and painted nails.  Hopefully the rest of our girls week will be as much fun.

Ellie and I decided we needed an adventure for the day.  Since Grandma and Papa House will be flying into Bromma Airport, we decided to figure out the best way to get them home.  After looking at the SL website, I thought we had a plan.  The green line and one bus later, we were at the Bromma Airport.  It was my first successful bus trip that I planned.  The airport is really tiny and you can even meet people at baggage claim.  Ellie was all prepared to wait until Grandma and Papa showed up.  She was so sad when we left without them.

Today Ellie and I decided to try out the Bagel Street Café for breakfast.  We walked past it the a few weeks ago and had wanted to try it out.  We arrived about 9:30 to find out that they don’t open until 10 am.  I have not gotten use to the late starts for businesses.  After wandering around the neighborhood, we finally got a taste of bagel.  They are mainly a bagel sandwich place and only serve plain bagels but it tasted like home.

Today was the longest day.  Ellie just couldn’t wait for Daddy to be home tomorrow.  After he called to say he was getting on the plane the hours just dragged for her.  We went to the park to ice skate and after one turn around the rink she said, “Mommy, this just isn’t as much fun without Daddy.”  And she was done with ice-skating for the day.  Back at home we made Daddy a welcome home picture.

HE’S HOME!!!!!  Ellie and I were at the bus stop waiting when David hopped off the flybus.  Before he even had gotten his luggage set down to give Ellie a hug she was bubbling over with all the plans she had for the two of them.  After we got the luggage home it was like Christmas again with everything David had bought in Kinston.  Ellie was excited to help unpack all of the goodies from fruit snack to vitamins.  After unpacking it was off to the ice skating rink for some real fun.
