Crash Gordon

This is my sweet sweet girl, chillin' out tonight watching Hannah Montana. She is taking it easy after the drama of last night. We were on our way home and I came around a curve, the road was slick and my car didn't stay in the turn we went straight off the road, into a ditch and into a culvert. Hadley bit her tongue and I am now incredibly sore, but other than that the only damage was to the car. To look at the car, the damage looks fairly superficial, however it appears the radiator took a big hit and the entire frame of the car seems to be bent. We will now work it out with the insurance company. We are so very thankful that we are safe. It clearly made an impression on Hadley. Last night she slept with me (I wanted my baby girl close) and this morning I woke up to a sweet little hand on my cheeck. As soon as I opened my eyes she says, "Mama, why did you slide off the road, I was scared?"This picture cracks me up. She has a band-aid on her face, is it a Booboo from the accident? No, she and her plastic toy rake apparently had a discussion and the rake took a scratch at her. A very minor scratch, but she was almost as dramatic about the scratch as she was after the accident last night. No worries though, Dora cures everything.

Steaks good

Today was Show N Tell day at Hadley's school, today's theme: All things Pilgrim, bring something that shows a pilgrims way of life. Seriously, when are we pulling something out from under the bed? Oh wait, I have that Pilgrim costume under the bed that I was wearing last week, whatever. So I was struggling with what we can do, we were getting pretty close to it being a picture ripped out of a magazine. Amanda suggested a Bible, so now I needed to explain to Hadley. This is the conversation that followed:

Me: Hadley tomorrow for show and tell you are suppose to bring something that shows a pilgrims way of life. Have you been learning about pilgrims this week?
Hadley: Yes, pilgrims were here first.
Me: Do you know why pilgrims came to America?
Hadley: They didn't have buses or cars, they rode ponies!!!
Me: Yes, that's right. But the pilgrims came to the United States of America looking for religious freedoms, you could take a Bible to Show N Tell tomorrow.
Hadley: The Pilgrims came to the Nine Steaks of America?

I won't bore you with the rest of the conversation; let's just say we started over at the beginning.

We are so lucky to live in the Nine Steaks of America!!!!!

A Crazy Great Day

Okay, yes I know three posts in one day. CRAZY!!!! I am just so so totally excited. We went to Downtown Dalton's Open House this morning, which Hadley was less than thrilled about. After less than an hour of shopping we were on our second visit to the toy store to try to entertain her. She was on the sidewalk riding around on a tricycle and guess who comes walking down the street, SANTA. She begins to wave at him when she sees him, what happens next nearly sent me into shock!!! I said, "Hadley why don't you give him a hug?" She didn't scream in horror, she got off the tricycle, stretched her arms up in the air and let him pick her up, then gave him a huge hug. I was totally bummed I didn't have my camera, what are the odds I am going to miss this Kodak moment. But wait, I have my phone, I'll snap a picture on my phone, sure it will be grainy but I will have something to prove she let Santa hold her. Second shock of the day, my new phone actually takes pretty great pictures for a 2MP. I have high hopes that during our scheduled pictures with Santa later in the year, I will not be included!!!!!!

Boys are yucky

Conversatons with Hadley brighten my day and make me laugh, so I must share her latest insight.

Mommy: Hadley do you want to go shopping today?
Hadley: With who?
Mommy: You know who.
Hadley: BellBell and MoMo?
Mommy: Yes, and me too.
Hadley: Not Daddy!!! (insert scrunched up facial expression)
Mommy: No, not Daddy because boys are yuckghghgh.....(insert scrunched up facial expression)
Hadley: Yeah, boys are yucky because they poop!!!!!!
(It is at this moment that I double over in laughter.)
With the sweetest little voice,
Hadley: I'm sorry, I did not mean to say that.

The Dentist

Yesterday was Hadley's Fall Party at school, she was totally excited that she would have three visitors at her party. We had some Halloween scrubs that were passed down from McLain and I thought they would be the perfect costume for school. They were comfortable, no funky wings or halos to contend with!!! I asked Hadley if she wanted to be a Doctor or a Nurse, without hesitation she informed me she was going to be a Dentist. That works too!! Although, she ate like a Rock Star. All the other kids are up playing and walking around and Hadley is still sitting there eating and not just the sugar, more fruit please, more pigs in a blanket please, more chicken please, okay I guess I can eat my cupcake now. We went to Steak and Shake after the party, so Mom, Momo and I could eat and she ate half my meal too!!!
