Princesses, Piercings, Poppa, Playgrounds, and Penguins
Princesses-So last Wednesday, my friend Ellie called me up and invited me to a Beauty and the Beast show at the Vanity Theater in C’Ville. Wait-it gets better…we also got to dress up in princess gear, dude up our hair, makeup, and nails (thanks, Steve), and go on stage for, “Best Princess” contest! Neither of us won, but it was still fun and we got princess suckers. The play was VERY cool, and I loved every minute of it. We got home around 11:00 PM! Thanks, Ellie for fun Girls Night Out.
**Momma Note: We also ate at Johnny Provolone’s Pizza for dinner where the girls laughed and laughed at who knows what. Talk about making your heart smile. The best part was watching them fish the paper towel they used (no toilet paper) out of the toilet with plastic forks! Very princess-like. At the play, they girls sat on their seats upright so every so often during the show one of them would loose balance and come bouncing down with a loud thud.
Piercings-On Friday, Momma and I had a day out together to get my school supplies, go to Red Robbin for lunch (Yum!), buy some new tennis shoes…pink and black…and then…I did it. Momma had asked me for the 100th time, “Morgan, do you want to get your ears pierced today?” And much to her surprise, I said, “Yes! My brain is telling me yes!” Momma was taken a LOT off guard, but we found a Claire’s near Red Robin and went for it! I chose pink flower studs for my very first set of earrings. I won’t lie to you…it hurt…but not for long. I LOVE my new earrings!
**Momma Note-I had such a great day with Morgan. It was pretty cool to get to spend some one on one time with her before going off to kindergarten. My heart smiled when she said, “Today is my gladdest day ever!”

Poppa-On Friday we headed to Lafayette to visit Poppa in the hospital and ended up staying overnight at Mema’s house. After a weekend hospital stay, he’s back at home and feeling better. There are several tests to come for him, but don’t worry Poppa, I’ll be at school doing my tests, too! Wish us both luck!
Playgrounds-On Sunday afternoon, TC and Renee called me up and asked me to go to the State Fair with them! I’d never been there before, so I quickly accepted their invitation! I had SO MUCH FUN! I loved the little dioramas of different communities but my favorite part was watching a demonstration of what happens during a flood…ask me…I’ll tell you about it! I played on a playground with recycled tires for mulch, looked at tons of projects, and saw a cheese sculpture that weighed over 1,000 pounds! We hit the carnival games where I won a unicorn and a stuffed rose! TC and Renee also exposed me to all kinds of treats including two snow-cones (my first one just rolled off my cone and onto the ground after I stumbled), a strawberry milkshake, a ballerina tattoo, and a souvenir from our day together…a stuffed cat on a leash! I walked that cat all over the fairgrounds! We topped off our day with a 6 inch tuna sub from Subway! I finally hit the hay around 9:30. Thank you TC and Renee for a great day!
Penguins-Today was Daddy Daughter Day! Whoo-hoo! Daddy and I were going to go golfing and eat at Red Robbin (Yum!), but I decided to change things up on him…we hit the Indianapolis Zoo instead! When got there just as it opened, the sea lions grabbed our attention first with their very loud barking! The day played out with a complete once over and then twice over of the whole place! Daddy pet a shark…I did not! We saw the dolphin show, rode the carousel where I rode the best pony of the bunch, and I got a tiger tattoo on my arm to complete my airbrushed tattoo collection. We broke only for lunch when we went to the Dog in Suds in the zoo. I had a hot dog, but I kept the animal crackers for Parks. When the day was done, I told Daddy, “I wish this day would never end.”
**Daddy Note: Thanks, Morgan, for sharing a super special day with me!
