1. Flowers from an anonymous friend. If you are out there, thank you…you made my day! The kindness of people never ceases to amaze me.
2. Thinking about my “Spring Break ’09” road trip we took yesterday with my dear friend Sarah . Our running joke was remembering our spring breaks in college. WHOOOHHOOOOO! SPRING BREAK 1999 BABY!!! (which for me, i think was south padre island).
Well, this year, SPRING BREAK ’09 BAAAABY! WHOOO HOOO!!!!, we packed all of our kiddos (five total) into Sarah’s minivan, and took a road trip to Austin to find the bluebonnets. I was joking that I might chug some juice boxes on the way and we should shoe polish the windows SPRING BREAK ’09!!!!
oh, how times change. so, it seems. we very well may have been out of our minds for attempting this. i’m pretty sure we’ve both gone crazy in the past 8 months (her husband, nick, is deployed w/ j.). it was umm.. quite the adventure. but so much fun. so so so much more fun than sitting around my house going nuts.
funny story…we never quite found those bluebonnets. it was a total wild goose chase. i won’t get into it, but it involves a highway being completely shut down and these things being randomly yelled from the back seat.
AAARRRRRGHHHHHHH (poor 5 year old cole, being sandwiched between two 3 year old girls).
I NEED TO POOP! (repeatedly, and that would be from my child.)
WAHAHHAHWAHWAHWAH (two exhausted one year olds, out of their minds from fatigue)
um, mommy? are we almost to the flowers? where are the flowers? (harper).
it was quite the trip, but i love sarah and we always have so much fun with them.
i also learned that my daughter is way too spazzy (like mama like daughter) to get those darling running up the steps photos:
i also learned that sadie wasn’t really “into the whole road trip thing”.
3. This conversation with Harper yesterday. I was taking a bath with Sadie, Harper walked in and said:
“oh mama, your boobies look nice! they are beautiful!!”
HAAAAAAAAAAAA. Okay. I’m pretty sure that’s the ONLY time I’ll hear that in my life. Love it. And yes, Lisa Dickinson, this one is just for you.
4. This series of photos. I actually laugh really loud every time I look at them, and I’ve looked at them a LOT.
oh
my
gosh.
HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE i’m totally laughing again.
In case you are wondering what in the world this is all about, this is sneaky, devious, Sadie pulling her sister’s hair.
And for those of you that might think it’s mean for me to photograph this,
it literally happened in a span of a few seconds.
I don’t know if I think Harper’s faces are funnier,
or Sadie’s “Wha? i’m not doing anything??” faces.
Whoa, that was a long one.
Hope you are all having a beautiful Wednesday!!
