Pioneer Day

Thank goodness for State holidays. We needed a day off of work. Last night Shane cooked us a great dinner of steak, chicken and Halibut.... Man we need to get back to Alaska as we only have about one more Halibut dinner left. Sesha kept telling me that daddy is a good cooker. She likes it when daddy cooks on the grill and lets her help. Then after dinner we set off some fireworks. So much for our scheduled bath and bedtime. Sesha had a blast holding the roman candles that we bought. Yeah we broke down and bought fireworks this year. We went to bed late and slept in a little bit this morning.
We decided that Sesha needs a pet. So we went shopping for some fish and a tank. We went to a pet store and she wanted a bird. Then she wanted a snake. The bird is a definite no but maybe a snake. I kinda liked the lizards they had, I just didn't like the prices of them. So maybe this weekend we will find something. I liked the idea of fish personally.
After the trip to the pet store we went out to breakfast at IHOP. (Sesha loves Pancakes so she said the whole way to IHOP). The kid taking our order was pretty nice. He brought out our drinks and brought Sesha a special twisty straw. Then she was sitting there being her cute self and he came back to our table and gave her a bracelet. It was pink and it made her day. Then he brought us out our food. Sesha poured strawberry syrup all over her pancakes and we put ketchup on her eggs. She ate all of her eggs, didn't touch her pancakes and told me she wanted more eggs. I told her to eat her pancakes and if she did I would get her more eggs she told me she was done eating. So the question is, does she really like pancakes or does she just like pouring the syrup...... More to come.
After we ate breakfast we drove to Draper and picked up Keirstin and went to sportsmans warehouse. She wanted to buy a gun. It was cute and guess what.... It was PINK. Daddy told her that just because she is a girl doesn't mean she can have a pink gun. I was fun watching her pick it out. She was trying on sunglasses and picking the guns that matched her glasses. She had finally decided on a pink pair of Princess glasses and a pink gun. Needless to say she is not going to get a pink gun. :( it was a sad day for her.
Well not much else happened other then she took a nap around 6 and she is still asleep. (it is 10:40PM) so hopefully she will sleep until morning.
We hope everyone had a wonderful 24th of July....
