yesterday i wore pink ballet flats. william told me all day, "mommy, that's BEAUTIFUL shoes!!" my sweet boy! we drove to castle rock and met my mom, who was at a conference in denver, for dinner. eleanor was very excited and made up a song about it earlier in the day. *grin* we had a great time together! hhhmmm, somehow mom and i squeezed in a tiny bit of shopping at the outlets, too! at the restaurant our server seemed vaguely familiar to me, but i didn't say anything. after we left, todd told me she looked familar to him as well. we figured it out and looked her up on facebook - we went to college together! funny. eleanor and will got to watch "curious george" on the way home last night - they were thrilled and GLUED. they hardly noticed when their beloved mimi said goodbye! we didn't hear a peep from them the whole way home, other than the laughter of comradery now and then. this morning the two of them both had gymnastics, back to back classes. todd took will, eleanor and i stayed here a little longer while jack napped, we woke him a little early and headed to her class. hand stands, forward rolls, hula hoops, balance beams... while jack and i watched eleanor, todd and william went to costco and bought all the flooring we need to do our downstairs! i am so excited! they also ate chocolate cake, i hear. quick lunch, the boys went down for naps and eleanor had her rest time. we woke william a bit early to head to jcpenney's for pictures - jack's 6 month portrait (yes, he turned 7 months today), will's 2 year portrait (uummm, his birthday was october), and eleanor's 4 year portrait (march - see, i'm ahead of the game!). we wanted close up head shots, to match what we already have, for a wall collection. i brought one from home to show the photographer, to make sure we got what we needed. the kids were sweet and cooperative, although will was quite stoic and jack "smile boy" was too puzzled to do much smiling! 45 minutes later we had some cute shots....but, well, NO HEAD SHOTS. and a family of 6 was waiting behind us, and we had to leave without ordering ANY photos. and so of course i cried! i had gotten the kiddos clean, the clothes washed, jack was fed, i had woken will up early. so my wonderful, understanding husband went back in (after we had driven out of the parking lot, of course) and worked his magic! we had to wait until the family of 6 was done with their photo shoot, but we got back in and got our head shots. 2 and half hours after we had started, and almost an hour after jack's dinner time, we finished! so we decided to go to chick-fil-a to grab dinner. eleanor and william scarfed their food, they were SO excited to go in the play area! but of course there was vomit in there. gross, gross, gross, and quite the disappointment! after the tears, will said "what's throw-up means??" eleanor helped explain. boy, what a day!

Oh, my. Tiring. I know how you feel. The 2 times we went to the studio with Danny it was stressful. That makes me thankful for the benefits of being married to a photographer. The throw up comment reminds me of what Danny said the other day when our dog threw up. He looked at me very confused and said "so it bounced off the ceiling and then hit the ground?" :) That's the literal translation. :)
