Big Mistake...





I decided that it was time to clean up the tornado that went off in my car. I really can't tell you how my car gets so dirty or how it collects so many random things...oh wait, yes I can, her name is Emerson. It took me about 20 minutes to just empty all the contents in my car before I could vacuum up all the Cheerios, goldfish, rocks, leaves, oh yeah and pine cones. After cleaning the inside, which felt great, I walked into the garage and looked at the huge pile I had created and realized that I had to clean that up too. It took me 1 1/2 hours and I was beat when I was done. I thought it would be a good idea to take it to the car wash after emerson's nap and I also thought she would think that was a fun time, but boy was I wrong. As soon as the water started she said, "stop car wash." I tried talking her through the whole experience by showing her the soap and bubbles, but she wanted nothing to do with it. I looked at her little hands and they were shaking. I wanted to jump in the back, but I kept thinking we would be done it a minute and really it did only take two minutes. But that may have been the longest two minutes of emerson's life.
We went for our weekly zoo visit yesterday and had a great time! They have decorated for fall, so emerson is constantly pointing out all the pumpkins. Our new favorite animal is the kangaroo. You can literally be a foot away from them, kinda crazy. We also went down my the river and fed the ducks. Emerson was more excited about all the boats and kept asking to see more.
