Wednesday ramblings

we are going to have one last cold snap. The forecast is saying below freezing for a few nights. yuck. It is really hard to believe after so many 80 degree days.
Ryan has started swim practice and had to take SAT's across town this week so I have been a mom taxi driver all week. Not much fun with Caitlyn who does not think a daily 45 min trip is that much fun. She would rather be running and playing. She just does not care for a movie in the car, books snacks... She just wants OUT and RIGHT NOW! You would think she would have adapted to the car rides by now. I have put the car seat straps every way I can think of to keep her from escaping. She thinks its soo funny to suddenly lean over the console and say hey momma! I have made them EXTREMELY tight today and she did not get out. I feel bad for her though. I know I know its ridiculous; but I do. I would give her the moon if I could... She screams stuck, stuck!! I hate the thought of a road trip with her. I am so thankful we were blessed to fly to Disney and will be flying this year as well. We do have a beach trip scheduled for July. I hope she suddenly loves riding before then.

The pics of the day are more of Caitlyn. She had her sunglasses on yesterday, the afternoon was beautiful and she enjoyed playing. She has my flip flops on. She loves wearing other peoples shoes. When you walk in our door if you have a nice pair on that catches her eye, she expects you to hand them over. We have been indulging her because she is the baby, and those dimples of hers get us every time; but soon I suppose someone isn't going to want to share with her.


Yesterday we were in Walmart buying a few groceries, and I stopped at the McDonalds inside to get Caitlyn some fries to keep her occupied. They have a happy meal display of Madame Alexander dolls that are the toys this week. When Chloe saw them she said oh momma, pleeeease, I need this baby Dorothy. She needs a little Guatemawa girl like me. I relented and decided to get Caitlyn a Happy meal instead of just fries so Chloe could have a doll, although I did not know which one she would get. Suddenly the manager, who couldn't have heard her, says which doll do you want with your happy meal honey? and she got Dorothy. God is so good about giving you the desires of your heart. :)
