Oh my gosh I would so love to be a kid again! Okay maybe not all the time, but I LOVE playing w/ them and their stuff... Nanni, Poppy and Uncle Rob went together to get the girls a group gift for their collective birthdays (Grace 03/26 & Eva 04/27). So they come by late this afternoon - both girls are playing in the basement, when we let them come up to the living room - eyes covered... and then they see it! Not sure if they saw it first or heard me squealing;-) Okay so I wasn't squealing on the outside but on the inside I was totally doing cartwheels!!!
Sitting in the living room is a perfectly pink, two seater, convertible... MUSTANG!!! Who really gets lucky enough to get a car for their birthday? I only wish it was me! The girls were in H E A V E N. And Grace knew immediately what to do, she jumped in - Eva a little slower behind her, turned the radio on and threwit into reverse nearly taking out the coffee table! Whew - good think we know a good insurance agent (Uncle Rob) - wink wink!
Even though it was FREEZING out the girls went outside in their car w/ bike helmets on -- too cute! And drove all around the yard, driveway you name it! Grace is a great driver; Matt even advanced her from the training speed of 2.5 mph to 5 mph - she loved the increase in speed. Grace was so sweet to, she wanted to let Eva drive, but Eva can't even reach the peddles, so Grace let her sit in the drivers seat, then Grace pushed the gas w/ her leg over the console and helped her steer... too sweet! For the most part though Eva is totally happy as a passenger:-)
When it was time to come in, as everyone was coming over for cake and ice cream, Eva stood in the garage and cried - then when that didn't work SCREAMED, car... car... car.... When everyone arrived, she walked around saying, "drive drive drive" it was sweet knowing she liked the present so much!
