At 7:03am Alexis woke up. Allowed to disturb her parents only after the first number on the clock reads “7,” she quietly walked down the hall. I asked her if she was ready to go on her date to the Richard Walker Pancake House. She quickly got ready and we were off. We ordered one plate of strawberry pancakes. Alexis poured the syrup and cut. I fed every bite to her and every other bit (or two) to myself. She even drank some of my coffee (the “it makes you go fast” kind).
After breakfast, we took our picture by the fireplace and headed outside. It rained the night before so there were large puddles in the parking lot – perfect for Alexis’s green frog boots. We stomped in the water and then headed home.
For this date with Alexis, we went to Chuck E Cheese during spring break. The place was packed so Alexis had lots of friends. Except she doesn’t like boys in the tubes so when the boys came by, she stood still and waiting for them to pass. Naturally, the boys did not even notice her as they zoomed through the tubes. Alexis went to the flower shop and brought home a bouquet for Rachel. She hid the flowers behind her back to present her gift at the door.
Finally the house is getting new lights in the kitchen. We wanted to move the chandelier 12″ plus add additional pendant lights to the island. Chop chop to the ceiling – what a project. It turned out great!
We took a trip to Ohio for Christmas. While visiting my father, the twins saw some woodworking. We all went to eat at Georges. The twins dressed up and went to a Victorian tea party with my mother and Heather.
