Violet got the goonies last night

She and Calvin were up way past their bed time. The whole family made a trip to the grocery store and we left our house at 7:40 pm, I should have known better. They actually did alright while we were at the store. Dave pushed the little car cart and had fun with them while I focused on knocking things off my shopping list. Before we left for shopping, she told daddy that even if she got bigger, she would still always be daddy's little girl. Dave is always saying things to her like that. "Don't grow up on me! I want you to stay my little girl!" and she made him tear up a little when she came up with that on her own. She even gave him a kiss and a hug. Of course they had their whiny moments while getting ready for bed at 9:30 pm, but once Calvin goes to bed, Violet has the attention of both mom and dad while we try to get her to bed. She just started saying the goofiest things, talking about what her and her friends and her were talking about (not sure when the friends conversation occurred, must have been days ago). She was having a hard time explaining something, Dave and I kind of gave up trying to understand. She could tell we didn't get what she was trying to say, so she gave us a smile, threw her hands up in the air like a frustrated teenager, and said "Oh, just forget it!" and then collapsed on the ground in laughter. We had to laugh at that, it was hysterical. Then as we tucked her in bed, she got all silly saying "ooh-aah" over and over again which for some reason we don't understand, set her off into a heap of uncontrollable giggles. She could barely breathe was laughing so hard. It was a funny night.
