I'm going to be your Eloise

While checking in to the Hilton New York this past Saturday, the princess informed the desk clerk that she was going to be their Eloise. She then approached another family checking in and invited their son to be the prince like in Eloise At Christmastime.

The princess was true to her word. She knocked on doors of several other guests announcing she was room sevice,attempted to board an elevator alone and splashed quite a bit in the tub soaking the floor. The family of her "prince" was staying on the floor below us,hope they didn't get wet. Good thing there were no visible mail slots on the floor.

She tried to leave the elevator on the third floor to attend an event going on on the ballroom. The captain stopped her thereby sparring Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and other MLB players the pink princess experience. I can see it now on page 6..."Eloise crashes the Baseball Writers Dinner."

Ice skated,really

A little play on words, but it's true I laced up a pair of skates and skated with the princess. It's been a while and it's not exactly like riding a bike, at least not for me. I will post the pictures once I find a cable for my iphone.

That's a really big duck

Took a drive last weekend to see a model train show. One of the train layout had landmarks of LI on it and the princess noticed a large duck. The captain told her there really was a big duck,not far from where we were, so you know we had to go and show it to her. She didn't believe us until she saw it for herself. She wanted to go in but it was closed.

For those of you unfamiliar with LI, the duck has been around since the 1930's. First as a duck and egg stand and now as a seasonal souvenir stand. As children, my sisters and I begged our parents to go past the Big Duck on our adventures "out east". For more info about the Big Duck go to http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2173

Mommy,what is a faux?

The princess asked what kind of fur was on the hood of her coat and I replied,faux fur. She asked what kind of animal a faux was. Should have said fun fur.

Dressed and ready to go to grandma's at 7:00 AM Sunday. Just a few problems. Dinner was at 4;she was wearing a communion dress and veil. Yesterday was even better; skating dress to go play indoors at the neighbor's across the street.

I know I haven't posted much,life was getting in the way. LOL The snow and the holidays Still have a busy schedule. Dancing, skating and occasionally work to pay for it.

My older sister is celebrating a milestone birthday today. The princess sent her a candy cane and a .60 coupon for tea. I sent her a ZhuZhu pet; yes I did.
