Through Her Grandparent’s Eyes
We are so blessed to have family in town. They love to video Ruby almost as much as we do. Here are several videos Ruby’s Mema sent to me in April and May 2012.
Ruby vs. Rocky
Wes told me after we filmed this that his friend Brad and he would record this stuff from television with a camcorder so that they would have the songs. I guess his daughter is also inspired by Rocky.
Bollywood Music Videos
While waiting for our dinner the other night, I became fascinated with all the Indian videos they were playing on the television in the waiting area. The production level, colors, dance moves and crazy ideas abounded. I’ve tried google and Youtube to find my favorite one, but no luck. I did enjoy the below one though. I discovered, after some research, that SRK is a pretty big deal and that this was a long-form music video based on the character and plot-line from the feature film Don 2.
It’s Worth the Money
While on vacation, my toenail polish chipped so I decided to buy some new polish. I’d really hate spending the week in sandals with one busted-looking toe. Vanity, I know.
Instead of just grabbing a cheap color, I bought some by Essie. I’ve read some good stuff on Pinterest about this brand and wanted to test it out on pools and beach sand to see if it really is worth the money.
At any rate, the Essie ‘Smokin’ Hot’ (dark grey) has really stood up to the elements here, even without a topcoat. It’s still shiny and hasn’t chipped. I really like it, but will probably only buy classic colors. Buying crazy/bright colors will still be reserved for Wet n’ Wild.
Pre-K Parents Are Away
Trying to explain to Ruby (almost 3) that Wes and I were going to be gone for a while seemed to be difficult for her to understand.
We are returning from our vacation to Hawaii on Easter Sunday, so instead of leaving an Easter Basket for her, I put her gifts in a white gift bag. Then, I drew a calendar on the bag and attached a sharpie so that she could mark off each day we were away. That way, she will be excited to open her present AND she might even be excited for us to come back.
