Slip and Slide!!

Michael was able to get the second half of Monday off of work because of some E-Time or some such AT&T business...basically means that if there are too many people scheduled to work, you can take an allotted amount of time off of work. So he got to spend the second half of the day with use at home!

I wish you could have seen Emerald's face when she saw Michael coming in several hours early. She rubbed her eyes, then when she saw that he was actually standing there, she ran to him and threw her arms around his neck. It was heartbreakingly sweet.

I am petrified to take her away from Michael for three weeks.

Anyways, we decided to set up the slip and slide Michael got for Emerald at the WOW! store at work, and see how she took to it. It was an incredibly hot day, and we were eager to see if she would like being in the chilly water.

As always, she hates getting her face wet, but that is not surprising. I am not crazy about it either. But you should have seen her, running up and down that thing, splashing me and laughing as loudly as I have ever heard her. She had such a great time.

When we brought her inside, she shook her head seriously, looks at Michael, and says "Cold". Mike set her down, laughing, and Emerald walked down the hall, still shaking her head and saying, "cooold".

She's so precious!
