emily is 7




Emily turned 7 on february 20th!!! we had a great mother/daughter day. I let her play hookie from school ( my mom used to let me do that sometimes on My birthday)....so i told her we'd do whatever she wanted to do!!! First we had breakfast at the waffle house. MAN they make good waffles. WOW. i hadn't eaten there in years. THEN we drove to slidell to the Toys 'R Us and looked at every single thing in the store. She decideed to get a family of white tigers (she's holding one of them in this picture)...she loves stuffed animals lately. I had caught this huge white tiger at a mardi gras parade (which is on another post, by the way) and she wanted a momma tiger and 2 baby tigers to go with the "daddy tiger"....SO then after that we went to this pet store (where i took her picture by the guinea pigs, LOL)....and then we stopped by my parents' house and my Mom gave Emily some birthday money so she decided she wanted to go to Books-A-Million to spend it.

Well, she ended up buying more stuffed animals, LOL. She got a family of snow dogs that time.

THEN we went to the movies and saw "The Spiderwick Chronicles" which was REALLY good, in my opinion.

THEN the whole family went to the new Bass Pro Shop in Baton Rouge with my sister Carrie and her husband randy and his family. That was FUN. Afterwards we all went to eat at Backyard Burger.
SOOOOOOOOO I think she had a pretty good birthday.

What a great birthday! My daughter who is 10 absolutely loves loves stuffed animals. They are so expensive. WE have this awesome goodwill store by our home, it was just built, anyway people give their stuffed animals away all the time. They give build a bears away with their clothes for .99 cents! what? A complete build a bear animal with clothes, cost about $80 and change. It is closer to $100. We also got stuffed animals from Toys R us, that cost about $20 for $1. I just bring them home. Stuff them in a plastic bag. Close it tight and stick it in our outside freezer, for a few days. That kills any creatures that may be living on it. I wash them sometimes. But, usually if they look like they need washing, I never buy them.
