My 5-year-old twins, Sophia and Stella, and I love emojis and we cannot wait for The Emoji Movie to come out! Sophia and Stella love to send emoji texts to their Aunt Liz and Aunt Liz is so fabulous with sending them funny emoji texts back. Sophia and Stella think the poop emoji is hilarious and so does their Aunt Liz. Every time the twins see The Emoji Movie trailer with the adult poop and kid poop they burst into fits of giggles. It is contagious! I have to admit, I also love the emojis and am constantly adding the smile heart eyes emojis to my texts.
We recently had a family pool party at my Uncle Mike and Aunt Cherilyn’s home. Before the party I ordered an awesome emoji float from Floatie Kings on Amazon and we took it to the party. The pool party was so relaxing and we had so much fun with our family and friends. The cousins all had a ball jumping on the giant emoji float and paddling around the pool on the smiling emoji. The cookout was delicious and it was one of those perfect summer afternoons.
We’ve continued our summer love for emojis and picked up the The Emoji Movie themed Nabisco Honey Maid Graham Snacks. Super cute snack and the graham cracker snacks really look like the movie characters. The girls sort through them and yelp when they find their favorites. I like them all! We’ve also continued to put our happy emoji float to good use at my parent’s lake house this summer. Sophia and Stella have climbed on and jumped off the emoji float a gazillion times. And, every time I have smiled at their silly summer fun.
But, recently I have felt a little like the stressed out emoji! We started with the back to school doctor appointments last week. The other day I walked into Target and the store is decked out in back to school displays, as are so many other stores. This week I tried to decode how to order school uniforms for the girls. I was definitely stressed trying to figure out how many shirts the girls need, how to order logos on gym uniforms, and other uniform details. Thank goodness the awesome St. Thecla parents shared their wisdom on Facebook! My to do list was growing long. I felt like the end of summer and the school year were barreling down on us!
While swimming this weekend, Sophia said, “Mommy, summer is so happy!” Wise words my sweet gal. Sophia and Stella then listed a bunch of fun summer things we still needed to do - go see The Emoji Movie, go miniature golfing, go to the zoo, do water balloons, have a big playdate at the park with their friends, ride their bikes, go swimming with their cousins, eat hot dogs, and so many other things. As they listed off so many of the simple joys of summer I realized I needed to push away my stressed out, anxious, worried, and nervous emojis! I need to live in this happy moment and be a happy emoji! Time is going way to fast and the girls will be big in a blink of an emoji eye.
So, I’ll figure out school supplies and school uniforms later. Now, I’m going to order The Emoji Movie tickets. I have date with my sweets gals this Friday! Hope to see you at the theater!
