my day in a nutshell. feb 25.

1. despite my internal alarm clock going off at 7:30am, i slept until 9.

glorious.

2. prepared my green smoothie and waited for my fellow adventurers to arrive.

3. adventurer #1 - tjab - showed up and only desired to play "ships."

{otherwise known as battleship}

and proclaimed he was the bag guy and i was the good guy.

sweet.

4. we wrapped his friends' birthday present.

5. finally adventurer #2 - princess4 - arrived and we were on our way!

6. on our drive:

tjab learned that train sounds mean "i love you."

tjab told us he wanted a rainbow cake for his birthday.

{i am making it and princess4 is bringing it to the party, that we are thankfully invited to}

we discussed tjab's soap-opera life - having jill love him when he loves emily.

it's tough being 4.

tjab explained why he loved emily.

{he loves her mainly because he's going to marry her}

oh and he wants a bat cave and a bat-mobile for his birthday...

in 4 months.

7. we arrived at our adventurous destination!

beyond glazed!

tjab wanted us to buy every donut that had green on it.
we just bought 3 of them.
{mint chocolate, key lime and cherry limeade - which he loved}

maple bacon donut? yes. quite good.
except we like our bacon warm.

oreo cream filled? um... YES!

me and the silly one.

8. we drove around playing i-spy while trying to find a pet store,

but before we found one, princess4 found a more interesting experience for us.

a tour of a fire truck.

tjab was excited.

then scared.

then cold.

then tried to run away.

then got excited when he was invited to sit in the driver's seat.

he really liked honking the horn and was intrigued by the manual window.

was inquisitive about the buttons and knobs.

then was cold again so we headed for the car.

we were excited too...

9. we found a pet store and looked at all the cool animals.

he found the pictures of the animals most interesting.

10. we drove past the temple on our way home.

i love hearing insights from 4 yr olds. mainly tjab.

11. after driving around for a bit, we dropped him off at the birthday party.

{this was about the time my nail beautiful nail broke}

12. princess4 and i watched "who do you think you are?" and cried.

13. princess4 told me all about tonsil stones.

14. we examined each other's tonsils.

15. we discovered princess4 has a big tongue.

16. we convinced princess4 hubs to go to smash burger.

17. we picked up princess3.

not before i played chauffeur for princess4 and her hubs.

headed for smash burger 

and made it just in time for half-price shakes!

{and i paid for my food not just in cash, but basically all change. impressively old school.}

which unfortunately weren't that good...

what can we say? we're oreo princesses.

18. after a quick stop at hobby lobby for princess3,

princess3 and i split from princess4 and her hubs.

19. princess3 and i stopped by target... which is a little ghetto during this remodel.

and after 30 min of searching we finally found the tights we were looking for.

and then the check out employee didn't understand my funny comment.

21. "modern family"

there's not much more to be said.

night.
