My last day in Arkansas

The day began with me having the priveledge to babysit the three kids that i love the most in this world. I must say that i have grown quiet attached to them this week being out here. When Vanessa returned from her breif date with Rob and we had all eaten lunch Vanessa took us on an adventure through the streets of Arkansas. We saw tornadoe damage from the storm they recieved here about a week ago and then we explored cute little senic houses in and out of the town of Fayettevill, wen to two thrifts shops (because vanessa loves those kind of scenes) and then went to the library (which is by far the hugest library i have ever scene) where i almost fell down the stairs ( i tell you there is never a boring moment when i'm just with myself) then we drove around the university of arkansas (which of course does not look anything like BBC).

We then drove to Rob's workplace (where i refused to duck under the counter machine) and went out to eat at a mexican restaurant (i had a chimichanga -chicken-) it was so good. At this restaurant Rob made a bet with the kids over the pepermints that were really fruity flavored (the kids of course lost the bed) and Vinny freaked out because he thought he really wouldn't get any ice-cream. In the process of freaking out he almost choked on his fruit candy and i thought that i was going to have to save his life. He could still breathe and cough that was the good thing but what worried me was the fact that he was freaking out so much. Young children like that don't realize that when their choking it helps to remain calm, they don't understand that freaking out can actually cause you to choke worse, and that is what i was afraid of. Once he stopped choking his throat still hurt because the candy had not yet really settled in his stomach and then he thought he was going to die, Vanessa did the 'mom' thing and reassured this tormented boy that a lot of people choke and live. When we finally got home the kids enjoyed their well deserved ice-cream and went to bed, so did Rob (he's getting to old for the night scene and some day so will i). While vanessa and i watched Elizabethtown.

Overall i think it was a good day to end a good week in Arkansas.
