Utah Update

As of last night, Utah was off the table. As of 20 minutes ago, it's still a possibility. I'm just going to erase the U word from my vocabulary. As of today, we're not moving. There's about a 5% chance it'll happen, so sit tight and we'll let you know in a few weeks if it's a go. In the meantime, I need to shave my legs and survive (un)Happy hour.

No Middle Ground in Toddlerville

Con: There is nothing as aggravating as a two-year-old who's been wronged. Face down on the floor, howling for the parent who's not doing the disciplining...it's ugly.

Pro: There is nothing as charming as a two-year-old. Today in the car, we stopped to see a giant snake in the road. I said, "Look, a snake!" Lucy's reply? "A snake! Ssssssss! Snake! Snakey snakey snake! Naked. Naked....snake. Naked snake! Snakey nakey! Naked snake!" ::gigglegigglegigglegiggle::

Stuck.

Lucy walking around with playing cards stuck to her feet.

Stuck behind the couch with chocolate stuck to her face.

Stuck upstairs, forced to sleep. Ends the battle with her legs stuck under the baby gate, attempted escape an utter failure. Asleep, face down. Wakes up to bits of things stuck to her forehead, a pained and disappointed expression stuck on her tired face.

Mommy sticks embarrassing photos on blog so that you'll be stuck with the image all night.

Panini Nirvana.

Today totally blew, for lack of a better word. On days like today, I can use words like that. More details later.

On the other hand, I made the world's best panini and my potato salad was aaaaammmmmaaayyyziiiing. I'm still eating. And I'm in love. Recipes later, y'all.

Rocky Gap Retreat!

The girls and I headed to Rocky Gap late yesterday afternoon for some fun with Daddy, who was on a business trip there for the week.

Molly spent a decent amount of time licking a towel. Tastes like disposable income!

I had a cheeseburger. I was so hungry I actually ate that whole disgusting thing.

Lucy had mac n cheese.

Molly had a fine time watching us eating, maxin' and relaxin' in her carrier, toes enjoying the breeze.

She also enjoyed a little nap in the big hotel bed.

Yesterday was Molly's first pool swim!

Lucy gave it a thumbs-down. Who wants to share Daddy at the pool??

Molly decided that while the water was "ok,"

she'd rather work on her tan.

Lucy, my linen queen, thoroughly enjoyed having a limitless supply of "tows" to play with.

Swimming with Daddy!
