la_rainetteat skip=200 *hyperventilates* Do you guys sleep at all?
We had a great time. We saw lots of beautiful trees, little wildlife (because it gets scared off easily. The good things about trees are, you can be as loud as you want around them, they can't run away.) We brought back a million of pretty, less pretty, downright ugly leaves (Froglet has a good heart and will not leave behind an abandoned baby leaf. la rainette: "But it's ugly." Froglet: "then it truly needs a mommy." what do you want to do against such impeccable logic, I ask you? Then answer is, take the leaf, and give it a happy, ugly leaf family. It's the least you can do, really.)
And one ratty, mangy, very small pinecone. But hey! If that pinecone could speak, it would speak FRENCH! French-speaking pinecone, yay! We couldn't find it a family though, so we thought someone's mum might adopt it. Ahem.
And one extra tooth.
That's right, the family now counts one more tooth, for Froglet is now the proud owner of a grown-up tooth. Which, incidentally, brings up the total number of teeth in her lovely mouth to 21. Because the world in UNFAIR, and she has yet to lose a tooth, you see. *sighs* The new tooth is growing behind the current bottom front teeth, and the dentist suggested we wait, unless she hurts. She isn't entirely happy about the whole situation, cos the tooth fairy can't come, and so I am feeding her rock-hard apples in the hope something happens (come on! Her friend Shannon lost her first tooth in a marshmallow!), but the tooth stands firm so far.
I hope she doesn't end up with two complete rows of teeth. SHARK! SHAAAAARK! *ahem*
And the account wouldn't be complete without a little silliness...
Tadpole and Froglet play hide and seek in the hotel room.
Froglet *takes off her clothes*
Husband: What are you doing?
Froglet: I'm going to play NAKED! So No-one can see me on the background! *runs off*
la rainette and Husband *exchange look*
Husband: Has anyone ever thought of telling her that she isn't a chameleon?
Tadpole and Froglet *go on playing, both naked now*
Froglet *counts*
Tadpole *runs over to French doors, hides behind curtains with her cute round butt against the glass, in full view of a group of flabbergasted tourists*
la rainette and Husband, simultaneously: NO!
Froglet *is off to hide*
Tadpole *counts* :one-two-three-four-nine-ready or not HERE I COME!
Froglet: MOM! I don't have enough time to hide!
Froglet *to Tadpole*: Come on, let's hide together, and Winnie (the pooh, her fluffy companion) can seek.
la rainette: OK, but you guys are going to wait A LONG TIME!
On a tiny road to Nowhere, somewhere deep in the Forest:
Husband: This is a pretty road.
la rainette *cheerfully*: Yep!
Husband: It's getting very narrow though*
la rainette *cheerfully*: Yep!
Husband *suspicious*: That lake we're following the signs to. Is it on your map?
la rainette *cheerfully*: Nope!
Husband *blinks*
la rainette: Oh, it's beautiful! Look at these colours!
Husband: ...
la rainette: you know, it's even more beautiful than last year. I think the weather conditions must have been ideal this year. Wow, look at that red maple! I'm sure the colours are even brighter than last year!
Husband *grins amusedly*: ...
la rainette: Do I say this every year?
Husband *waggles eyebrows and grins hugely*
la rainette *sulks*: It's beautiful, though.
Froglet: you mean: it's MAGNIFICENT!
la rainette *to Husband*: See?
Magnificent came up quite a few times that week-end. Looks like it's Froglet's new best friend.
And so, I am back *stretches luxuriously and looks around* OK, now back to the skip=200 part of LJ...

Why is it that all the things I know how to make are bad for you? But they taste so good. (mmmmmcreameggsmmmm)

I can't even promise I'll never do it to my kids, because I think all parents do it, without necessarily even meaning to do so (teenagers are so easily embarrassed, too. A friend of mine got told off by her sixteen-year-old for listening to loud rock music in her car. In her daughter's opinion, moms should all have their hair up and listen to classical music.)

Sounds like you had a spiffy and magnificent time :D ... and yay for French pinecones!
