Prince Mick
We just got home from having dinner at our friends house. We like these friends. They are good people. They’ve been good friends for a long time now- since Thomas was about one. They have 3 kids- a 13 year old boy that my boys adore. Two little girls that I am in love with. The youngest is just so sweet. Tonight she was playing Sleeping Beauty. She would lay down and pucker up and wait for her prince to kiss her. She first picked Mick to be her prince. So very sweet. Then I got picked to be her prince. Her little lips were puckered the entire time she had her eyes closed. So sweet. Her big sister who is 4 1/2 is just the cutest little girl too. The two girls were heartbroken tonight because Graham didn’t want to play with them- he wanted to play with Thomas and Andrew. Graham had gone into the girls room to play with them for a little bit in the beginning- but the girls shut the door and wouldn’t let him out. It was hard to convince him to play with them after that! After some coaxing he decided to play with them again and they said ‘do you want to play dress up- we have pretty dresses” and Graham bee lined out of their room. He got another offer to play Polly Pockets but once again decided against it. He was very nice about it and said ‘no, thank you”. It was a great evening with great people. Annalissa is very dear to me. She’s been a good friend to me for many years. I truly value her friendship and appreciate her.
Watched Apolo Anton Ohno skate last night- WOW. He is so awesome. I enjoyed watching him 4 years ago as well. He was less cocky this time and so focused and determined. There is just something beautiful about watching speed skaters skate- especially when they take the corners and put their hands down. He made a crazy mistake and almost got knocked out of the race- due to a Chinese guy flailing his arms around and trying to pass without room- Apolo got to race in the final. I had seen the Koreans skate and wasn’t sure if Apolo could beat them because they were team racing (which is against the rules if you can prove it!) So after two false starts Apolo is in first place with two Canadians close behind- the crazy Korean in 5th place. Apolo held his first place position throughout the entire race- taking those turns with grace and ease. Final lap the Korean finally makes a pass- but it wasn’t good enough to take Apolo down. Apolo crossed the finish line first- which sent me into whoops of celebration. It was amazing-!! He So deserved the gold for that race. I keep trying to talk my husband into shaving off his beard into a soul patch like Ohno’s. OOO LA LA!!!
Ok, off to finish laundry then hit the sack.
