I didn’t want you to think that I didn’t take any pics of the Kundhis’ visit. I’ve got a lot of deadlines this weekend and I’m not sure when I’ll finish going through all of the lovely pictures on my camera. Hope this tides everyone over for a little bit!

I didn’t have the heart to tell her they were on backward, but I couldn’t let her wear them this way. I made up an excuse for us to take them off and then we put them on the correct feet. After I took a picture, of course.

Bella is learning how to tell time. Right now she knows:
8:30 am: stock market opening bell (she loves watching this on cnbc)
12:00 pm: lunchtime
5:00 pm: clifford the big red dog on pbs kids
This weekend was our neighborhood garage sale. We stopped by to say hi to our neighbors and found the cutest little clock!
I love how it is both digital and conventional. It tells a time and asks her to move the hands to the proper positions. It also has a little cuckoo bird that makes music. She’s been playing with it practically nonstop since Thursday afternoon. I had to take a picture of it on the counter because when she has it, she’s so absorbed that I can’t get her to look at the camera. All of this fun for $1. Love it!

Yesterday morning we went to the Farmers’ Market, as usual. The weather was beautiful. I commented that one day I’d like to sit out on the patio at The Oven and have lunch. It’s the perfect spot for people watching. Then I thought, why not today? That’s what I’d really like to do to celebrate Mother’s Day. So what if it is on a different day.
I ordered my favorite comfort food: chickpeas with poori (deep fried bread). It was heavenly! Bella was an angel considering that she had spent a lot of time already running around Iron Horse Park. It was a truly delightful morning with my two favorite people. Thanks T and M!

Yesterday morning was beautiful. Lauren and I plopped the kiddos in their strollers and went cruising for some deals at her neighborhood garage sales. Check out what we found for Bella: 101 Dalmations II and Cars, $2.50 each. This Minnie Mouse book was only 25 cents! She’s already read it too many times to count. I love how she gets completely absorbed in a new book.

I love this picture. It was taken at the zoo yesterday. I’ve spent countless hours waiting for the train back and forth to Washington, DC. This train station was definitely the nicest I’ve ever visited.
More waiting: I’ve got a lot to do today and soon we’ll be heading out for a little date with Lauren and Brady. Zoo pictures will have to wait until this weekend. Have a good Friday, everyone!

wardrobe refashion: my first post!
When I was in college, every Friday night the local folks cruised down Main St. They’d drive super slow, loop around when they came to the end, and then do it all over again. (The Internet is so awesome. I found this pic on flickr and it looks just like I remember it!)
Last Friday we went to cruise night at our local Sonic. Folks out here cruise a little differently. They park, polish the windshield, pop the hood and just sort of show their car. I expected that there would be some nice cars, but I wasn’t expecting a Ferrari!
Both Bella and Mason love their cars, and I was surprised that I couldn’t convince them to stop digging in the dirt for a photo op. So, I had to do the next best thing. I lured them over to a patch of dirt that had the Ferarri in my line of sight and snapped a long distance pic.

Bella hates to have things in her hair. She’s always ripping out her barrettes and rarely lets me put in a ponytail. I did this while she was watching Word Girl. Captain Huggy Face kept her occupied while I sneaked in a hair tie. It lasted about an hour. That’s a record for her!
