tomorrow: you'll find us in FRANCE

 good night.

for tomorrow we will be

in france.

bonjour!

...

my kids have colds.

in june.

i am ignoring the issue.

the show must go on.

and i thought about wiping the cart down after their sick little germs touched everything.

but then i forgot.

i wonder if the "thought counts" in this situation?

probably not.

about halfway through the store,

the show was over.

but i still had half of the list to get through.

and half a cart already full.

then it hit.

the moment where we had to just plow through,

despite the train wreck that would ensue.

we survived.

and i only had to carry one out on my hip.

my friend keri has the funniest analogy about this:

"being in the grocery store with a toddler is like being pregnant.

you don't think it is really going to be that bad.

b/c you forget how awful it is until you're in it,

and then there's just no getting out of it until it's over."

HA!

not that the entire thing is awful.

there's just that moment.

you know the moment.

where the only thing you want to do is flee.

now i go with two toddlers.

and definitely want to be pregnant again at some point in my life.

but really,

it's can't be THAT bad;)

  thank goodness for family night:)

germs and all.

the family yard hosted foods from around the world.

i brought enchiladas.

and ate Korean meat.

and Egyptian rice wraps.

amazing.

with two helpings of troy's slushie homemade root beer.

brennan loves his "uncle" troy.

b/c really,

only great aunt carol cares that he's brennan's

1st cousin once removed.

or 2nd cousin.

or something.

whichever.

 i just can't get over how much she reminds me of ET.

it's the walk.

you just have to see her walk.
