Quick trip to the store…
Well that is an interesting story. It started with an innocent trip to Chick-Fil-A and Lowes this morning. Bryan needed a few things at the big box store so we decided to swing by CFA for some breakfast and some playtime for the toddler. I grabbed the diaper caddy that had some wipes and a diaper for each girl in it and stuffed in it my purse on the way out the door.
So CFA was uneventful. I did change Lauren’s diaper there because it was starting to sag a tad. We made it to Lowes where Hayden and Bryan ran in to quickly grab two things and Lauren and I sat in the back of the minivan so she could nurse.
Things were going along swimmingly until I sat her up to burp…at which point not only did she burp but also totally blew out her diaper. I just sat there and watched yellow poo ooze up the back and sides of her jammies. She just sat there and smiled looking much relieved. (At this point Bryan admitted he would have pulled out his cell phone and called me in the store to come out and assist—not that he would have ever been out there nursing…)
So there I am in the van, no changing pad, no diaper, no change of clothes, a total of like 4 wipes, and a baby completely covered in poop. At home we would have just stripped her and thrown her in the tub. Thankfully I found an old blanket in the back. Cleaned that girl up. Wrapped the jammies, dirty diaper and wipes in the blanket and put Hayden’s diaper on her. (that explanation sounds kind of simplistic, but I’m sure it looked more like a Three Stooges episode where I was trying to not let poop baby touch anything in the car while arranging a safe surface to place and change her.)
All in all we were able to laugh about the situation on the way home with the dirty jammies being the only casualty.

Camera Practice
So I’m looking at getting a new DSLR camera. My sweet friend Andrea brought her Canon Revel T1i over yesterday so I could check it out. It’s pretty great. Here are some photos that were shot. What I love about these fancy shmancy cameras is that they take great pics in low light situations without drowning your subject out with the flash.
Must. Get. One.

Vacation Bible School 2010
We enjoyed attending VBS at our church this past week. I worked in Babies 4 (15 month olds) while Hayden and Lauren went to their own classes.
Hayden was quite popular with her teachers. They all thought she was wonderful…very well behaved. (if there is ever a place for your kid to be on her best behavior I suppose church is a good choice) She brought home a great horse picture made from her handprint and seemed to really like the time they spent on the playground.
Lauren enjoyed spending time in the swing, the bouncy seat and being snuggled by the sweet ladies in the baby nursery. The week totally screwed up her schedule, but we work hard to be flexible. (FYI-I hate being flexible which is why it’s such work.)
I learned that I never want to mother 16 one year olds at one time. Thank goodness for the other three ladies in our class!
I have great memories from attending VBS while growing up. I’m glad my girls will get to attend VBS and make some fun memories of their own!
Lord, thank you for VBS and the wonderful leaders who work so hard to coordinate the madness!
