a little bit o' shep

An outing

It's been ccccold here. Well, for southern Alabama it's cold. So it's been challenging to try and find things to do for the littles. Sophie is back in school and not here to entertain them. So yesterday we ventured out and hit up the local Barnes and Noble for story time. I was three minutes late and missed the story. But we did a craft/coloring project and had a cookie. Then I sat on the floor and read as many books as they brought to me. Another little girl who was three started bringing me books to read as well. Her mom had been on her cell phone the whole time and not paying much attention to her. Finally she walked up to me and said, "I'm sorry, she never wants me to read to her." Ok. After she paced back and forth for a while she asked me if it would be ok if she went to get a drink of water. Sure, no problem. She was gone forever. I thought, maybe she had to go to the bathroom too. Then I thought maybe she left??? Eventually she came back with Starbucks in hand. Wow, she had a little mommy time to herself. Fun. Maybe I'll try that one day. NOT!

Anyway, here's a little glimpse of our outing.

After story time we went to the mall to ride the carousel. Again. That has become our go to activity. But they love it so it works.

On the mend

Well, G.G. and I are on the mend I think.  She slept a little better last night and hasn't been as cranky today. 

This is her not wanting to be a part of the pictures I was taking of all of them. She's a rebel.

Her sissy takes such good care of her. 

She was not having it this morning. This was before she went and got on her ladybug chair.
