IT'S ELMO

THE WHOLE GANG

"HEY, GUYS! IT'S ME, KATE"

"OH, ZOE!"

Kate has a newfound obsession with all things Sesame Street, especially Elmo's friend Zoe. Scott and I debated for weeks and lost out on front row seats trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger and take her to see Elmo when he was in town. Well, we finally felt confident that she would love it and took her this Saturday morning and boy, did she have fun. She spent the first 20 minutes screaming, "Hey, Elmo! Hey, Zoe!....." I so thought that we would watch the show and walk right out without buying any of the overpriced snacks and merchandise. Well, wouldn't you know that some sassy little 1 year old behind us had to keep showing Kate her brand new Zoe doll, so, of course I had to get Kate one too, so that everyone around us could enjoy the show. She does love Zoe so much (see the picture of her telling her, "Oh Zoe, you SOOOOO sweet!") and has carted her to church, to our Sunday School picnic and to Miss Cindy's today. She sleeps with her every night so we are getting our money out of Zoe. I was so impressed that we got out of there with only a Zoe doll and not one of those $8 Elmo balloons they sold during the intermission. Can you imagine, an intermission in the middle of a production for a bunch of toddlers???? Like those precious children wanted a break from those beloved monsters!!! Bless those people's hearts, they were just dying to sell those balloons. Scott and I have been in awe of the people lined up to pay $8 for those balloons. We'll just buy one at Kroger this Friday for $3 if Kate thinks she has to have one & you know she will!
