The first practical joke is that the Giants lost to the Phillies tonight. That was not a funny joke. Hopefully we can get em on Saturday in Philly. Ella told her class that she was going to the game tonight. We did not take Ella. Alicia did give her a very special Giants hairdo. Ella wanted to leave it in tonight to make sure that the Giants won. Well, I don’t think it was the hair style’s fault that the Giants lost tonight – it was the Giant’s fault. My parents flew in tonight. When Ella woke up this morning, she said, “Are grandma and papa coming tonight?” I told her that they were. Then she said, “I have been waiting for this day!” It should be such a fun weekend. We got home at around 8:30 and then my parents came here at like 9:00. Ella had a joke that she wanted to play. We have a remote control fart machine so she wanted to get into bed to pretend that she was sleeping and then when my parents came into her room to kiss her goodnight, she was going to make the machine go off. My dad was the first to go up and kiss her and all of a sudden I heard a fart sound and my dad cracking up. Ella loved it. She was laughing so hard too. Then my mom went upstairs and Ella did the same thing. My mom fell out laughing. It was so much fun to see the 3 of them cracking up. Now it’s time to go to sleep. Ella is going to go to school in the morning and then we’re going to pick her up and either go to the Academy of Science or somewhere else. Goodnight.
Another Alicia masterpiece. Maybe I’ll go to beauty school so I can learn to be so creative.

Here we are at the game when the score was good and life felt easy.
