Rose’s favorite game is “Monster” which she sometimes calls “Dinosaur!”  One of us plays the monster and one of us runs away and acts scared, and then we switch roles.  We’ve played this game for literally hours this year!  So when I found this monster cape, I knew it was the perfect add-on to our imaginative game of play.  Rose and our cousin, Noemi (Mike’s brother, Stephen, and his wife, Susana’s little girl), had a play date at the mall play land with Grandpapa and Kay Kay!  We had a blast!

   

Rose wanted me to take a turn like we do at home, and all of a sudden, the entire play ground became interested in “Mommy Monster!”  All was well until some rough little boys started running after me.  I immediately took off my cape and said, “I’m just a Mom.  I’m not a monster!”  I didn’t know what to do with those boys, lol!

I had fun getting Noemi to smile and get into the game!  We are really concerned about her mommy, Aunt Susana.  She has been admitted into the ER two times, and this week, she just went in for her 3rd visit.  At her 2nd ER visit, her appendix ruptured, and at this time, they are still fighting infection.  Please please pray for her weak body, that is beyond tired of living in extreme pain for the past three weeks, and her sweet heart, because she misses Noemi!  Noemi has been staying with Kay Kay and Grandpapa and they have had lots on their plate as well.  This has been a difficult summer for our family, and we are trying to make the most of it, that’s for sure!  Thanks for your prayers!

Sweet Noemi, age 16 months!

 

Rose loved testing out her new monster powers!  I have a feeling this cape will be the center of hours and hours of fun and laughter for years to come at the Pond household (or wherever we go)!
