Not. A. Good. Sign

What did I get/buy for our 3 year anniversary? A new Elmo coloring book and crayons...so the hubs and I could take Bug with us on our anniversary dinner. We were hoping we would be able to eat a [full] meal without someone jumping out of her high chair or screaming to get out so she can socialize with everyone in the restaurant.

That's right.  We're parents.

How did our dinner go?  Not quite as expected...which is why I have no pictures from dinner to show you.  Three quarters of the way through the meal she decided she wanted out.  The coloring book didn't last as long as I had expected because dinner was postponed a little while because Daddy had to work later than expected.  So by the time we got to dinner, it was already her bath time.  :/  (Hey, we're making progress!  She made it more than halfway through the meal!)  After taking her out of her high chair, we trapped her in our booth, in an attempt to finish the rest of our meal.  FAIL. She turned right around to the family behind us with three kids and began chatting up a storm (especially to their 6-ish year old boy, Mason).  :)  Tangent:  Bug knows how to play coy...with boys.  Not.  A.  Good.  Sign.  

After the family left (they got to the restaurant way after us and left before we did), we packed up the rest of the meal and attempted to head home...BUT...we stopped for some old school fro yo (frozen yogurt) from Penguin's!  :)  If you've never been, you have to go.  (I'm not sure what the hype is about Pinkberry and all that, because Penguins's is where it's at.)


While at Penguin's, we encountered a mob (and by mob I mean 15+) teenagers. Ah!  Do you know what 15 teenagers sounds like?  "Like, as if, whateva, hells yeah", etc. etc.  I know.  I was and (and sometimes still am) one of them.  Unfortunately, with age (all 28 years of me) has come to dread being in a room with too many of them.  It makes me anxious.  Seriously.  I fear the day Bug becomes one.  While Mommy was thinking, "GET ME OUTTA HERE", Bug was thinking, "Hey, friends!"  So, she stopped to socialize.  Seriously.  This girl has no fear of older kids.  I think she thought she was a part of their social group. The girls were so cute and they certainly entertained her.  It bought Mommy some time to finish her ice cream! (Because that's what matters.  Ha!)


Do you see that look the girl on the right is giving me?  THAT is a look of a teenager.  Looking forward to many of these looks from Bug one day.  Wait.  Doesn't she already do that?


On another note, Bug was pretty confused about how to eat ice cream from a cone.  Check out Bug and Daddy sharing ice cream. :)




It's this girl's lucky night!  ICE CREAM!





At the end of the night, we stopped at the market to do some shopping. :)
What a great anniversary dinner with my two loves.  It's amazing how things change each year.  It was a great night with the man I love and the cute little product of our marriage.

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
