that's entertainment!

We made it to Ashland relatively unscathed. I had to pop into the backseat about the West Virginia border to enterain the girls, but we all had fun. A has learned how to play peek-a-boo! It was so cute...she holds her Taggie up over her face until you say "Where's A? Peek-a-boo!" and then she pulls it down, smiles her 7-tooth smile and starts the game all over again. E was pretty content with the DVD player and a few rounds of I Spy With My Little Eye.

We arrived at Rocco's before Grandmom and Granddad did. E entertained us by doing her own rendition of the The Birthday Show with Grandmom's birthday cards. For those not familiar with The Birthday Show, it's a show on PBS Sprout in which an overly animated guy named Kevin reads homemade cards that non-slacker parents have made for their kids' birthdays. (Apparently you have to send the cards in 6-8 weeks in advance...I learned this last week when I thought about doing it for E's birthday.)

So, in Rocco's E started pick up the cards and say "Our first card is for Grandmom. Have an AWESOME birthday! Love, Mommy and Daddy. Our next card is for Grandmom. Have an AWESOME birthday! Love, E. Our last card is for Grandmom. Have an AWESOME birthday! Love, A." Kept John and I pretty amused while we waited.

Grandmom was definitely suprised to see us at her birthday dinner. Daddy got to go see his grandma today (who was having a good day) and is now out playing golf. I got to sleep in and now I get to relax while A is napping and Grandmom takes E to the pool. All in all, we're having a pretty good weekend. Hopefully the drive home tomorrow will be fast and uneventful.
