Subtitled: One of these times I’ll get around to posting close to the holiday
Sub subtitled: They’re mostly pictures of Sesame

| Miss America by day, Captain America Jr. by night. |

Grampy, Grammy, and Auntie Elizabeth are visiting for the week.
Sesame’s enjoying six extra arms to cart her around and do her bidding. |
 |
I took her swimming in a cake pan.
She wanted to go in the deep end so I told her next week we’ll break out the spaghetti pan. |
 |
Yesterday we went to see how the building of my new mansion is coming along.
Or maybe we went to the gardens at the Opryland Hotel. Hard to say. |

Before the picture
Me: Don’t forget to smile!
Him: I won’t.
After the picture
Me: Did you smile? It doesn’t look like you smiled!
Him: I did.
Me: Are you sure?
Him: Yep.
I’m so glad we had this conversation. |
 |
Me: ANNABELLE!!! Can you smile for mama?
Annabelle: best smile ever. |
Jul 4, 2014 | Holidays, The Humiliation Chronicles, What's going on |
The other day Annabelle and I went to pick up a few things at Publix. The following conversation took place between me and the boy bagging the groceries:
Him: Do you want me to push the carriage* out to the car for you?
Me: No thank you, I’m fine. (I’m all for boys being gentlemen but I didn’t have any spare cash for a tip.)
Him: Are you sure? I don’t mind.
Me: Oh, we’re good.
Him: It’s not a problem.
Me: I can do it but thank you anyway.
I then proceeded to crash the carriage straight into the neighboring cash register and almost run over people entering through the exit door. Just call me Grace.
* Carriage/cart/buggy. Toemayto, toemato.
To add to the awkward experiences I’ve lived through lately, when the pastor at church said to me “I’ll tell Chris too”, I stared at him for 48 minutes trying to figure out who this Chris person was. Don’t mind me. I’m just the person who doesn’t recognize her husband’s name when she hears it.
So that’s been life around here. In other words, it’s business as usual.

I am so excited about Annabelle’s first 4th of July. Fourth of July is right up there with Christmas when it comes to my favorite holidays. We made an American flag with her footprint. Feel free to send us a Pinterest Parents of the Year Award.
To round out this hodge podge post, and because I’m procrastinating about cleaning the bathroom, I present the following photo. This is the face of someone who slept from 9:30pm-6:30am, partied for an hour then went back to sleep until 10:30.
This is how I felt about Sesame’s sleep accomplishments:
HAPPY DANCE! HAPPY DANCE! HAPPY DANCE!
