Last Monday Riley didn’t have school. They had staff development day. My house was a mess. I really wanted to clean it. But I didn’t want to waste one of our precious days together doing that. Besides, the angels (that’s what I call the cleaning ladies who rescue my home once a month) were coming on Tuesday (thanks Mom). So, I gather my brood and drove them up to see the snow. It was an interesting trip. The best photo of the day was taken by a cute little oriental man, who came up to me and said, in his very heavy accent: “I take picture” I handed him my camera (I’d seen that he had one similar) and told the kids to look at the guy and smile:
Little Ms. Beka was not happy. She cried most of the time. If she didn’t have a death grip on my finger or up in my arms, she was screaming. Riley on the other hand had a blast! Emma was unsure, but enjoyed playing with her big brother. We ended the trip with a stop at Sam’s Club for lunch and a little shopping.
On a side note: Emma’s favorite place to go right now is Sam’s Club. Every time we get into the car she asks: “Are we going to Sam’s?”
She also says “My favorite place is Sam’s. It’s a wonderful place to shop.” It makes me giggle! I can’t help it. It’s really funny. She get’s so excited when she sees the logo! What a nut!
