blast from the past

2 years, 2 months ago. Best. Hair. Ever.

Wednesdays can be tough sometimes. It's the one day I get a taste of what it would be like to be a stay-at-home mom, and it's ten times harder than sitting at a desk for 10 hours, that's for sure. But nothing can compare to our little mommy-daughter outings like this one to the bookstore/coffee shop. Best part of my whole week.

A bit bundled for October 4th, don't you think?

Me: "Sadie, go ahead and pick a bedtime story."
Sadie (examining bookshelf): "Hmmmm.......we just read that one.......that one's too long.......that one's for babies.......that one's too dangerous......."

what does your mommy do for you?

At preschool on Tuesday, each child's answer to this question was written down on a big whiteboard. It said:

Sadie - "She brings me pizza to take to Sophie Lantzy's house."

So, it really is the little things that count. Happy early Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

Sadie: "I want to see the goose."
Mommy: "OK, but we can't get too close---he might not be friendly."
Sadie: "I not friendly."
Mommy: "Whaaaat? Of course you are sweetie, you're friendly!"
Sadie: "NO. I not friendly! I'm Sadie."
