"Noonie" at Byerly's

Emma Claire and I were in Byerly's this week. There I was, loading up a dish of steamed veggies at the take out bar when a man in a suit walks by and points to Emma Claire "I think she is losing her shirt". I look in the little car in front of the cart, and there is Emma Claire...TOPLESS. In only leggings and a big red bow. I am quite sure the leggings were next to go. No idea how long she had been sitting there that way, but we had a good talk about how it is not appropriate to get "noonie" in Byerly's. Emma Claire as we were walking out: "get noonie".

Bedtime Stories

My view while reading bedtime stories a couple of nights ago...

Easter Eggs

One of the joys of being a mom... don't think I have dyed eggs since I was a child.

New Toy

This is going to be an issue every time Brad wants to mow the yard... "Ride lawn mower" says Emma Claire, frantically - repeatedly - after the maiden voyage with Daddy.

I Love our Morning Runs...

5 am run today with Whitney (and pooches)...
Dark
Near attack by standard poodle (saved by the Invisible Fence) - surprisingly, not nearly as frightening as the wheezing pugs (dubbed the twin satanic pigs by Whitney)
1 mile later...
animal noise I have never heard in my life (should have heeded the warning)
12 seconds later...
Near attack by pack of deer (feet away) - luckily they were more scared of us.
A good half mile of breathlessness from the scare and uncontrollable laughing.
