Private Alfresco Lunch
Emerson was so excited to see Ms. Q back at school again! She barely even noticed when it was time for me to leave!

My Car Broke Down
Ok so my blog post title today is not just for click bait, it’s real, but we’ll get to that later. This was actually a weird, not-so-good Monday. A few things…
1. I woke up with a sinus headache, and menstrual cramps. Blah.
2. Emmie wanted to wear a (clean) pink gardening “glub” this morning while eating her pre-breakfast Hawaiian roll before school. It’s hard to see because she was excitedly waving it around everywhere, but that’s the pink blur in the photos below.

Partially Collapsed Lung
Well I’m gonna cut straight to the chase tonight… It was a weird day. Jeff drove himself to the ER late last night with chest pains and shortness of breath. I stayed home because Emmie was asleep, but Jeff’s mom met him at the hospital. They kept him overnight running tests & monitoring his heart, and I woke up early this morning to head up there. I got Emerson ready for church, then dropped her off with my parents for the day. She also spent some time with Jeff’s parents this afternoon while my parents had some plans.

Baby Buggy
We had delicious Chick-fil-A breakfast to start the day, and it was of course so yummy. Chicken, egg & cheese bagels for the grown-ups, and chicken minis for the little. And we shared our hash browns with her.
…
Bubbles and Bread
Well, my day technically started at midnight, with the premiere of the new Taylor Swift video. I hadn’t actually planned to stay up that late, but then I fell asleep on the couch, and woke up miraculously at 11:55pm, so it was obviously meant to be. And then we watched it one more time, just for good measure, before finally going to bed.

Sourdough & Baby Toes
When we walked into Emerson’s classroom this morning, we came to this station with lots of toys and musical instruments. One of her little friends came over and started handing her stuff, and before long, her tiny arms were full! He even tried to hand her one of the big xylaphone’s, so I had to tell him, “no thank you, she has enough, but thank you for sharing!” It was so sweet, and so funny!

Popcorn Scented Stickers
This adorable little girl is just always so happy! And look at her silly little tongue!

Yard Work
Since daycare was closed last Friday, their egg hunts and Easter parties were postponed until today. So Emmie wore her cute pink bunny dress (and one of her new headbands), and took her bunny basket to school today!

Easter Sunday 2019
First of all, “Christ the Lord is risen today, alleluia!” 🎶
Today was a great Easter Sunday. I’m exhausted though (as I’m sure ever mother of a toddler is on a holiday), so I’m going to try to be brief… (Although whenever I say that, I tend to babble just as much as always.)
Emerson loved getting her Easter basket this morning. I kept it low-key with bubbles, M&M’s, Hershey’s kisses, an Easter book, a coloring book, and a new Garanimals summer outfit and shoes (from Grammy). Then I “re-gifted” her own stuffed chick and bunny, for some cuteness, without adding another stuffed animal to her already huge collection.

Hunting Eggs
The happiest, most beautiful-est, sweetest baby girl, first thing in the morning!

From Stormy to Beautiful
So late last night, all of Tally was watching the weather to see how it might go today, with the approaching severe weather. Around 10 p.m., Emerson’s daycare (amount others) announced they would be closed today, to keep everyone off the roads and safe indoors. So I decided to take the day off, since Jeff and the boys already had plans around town. Which meant we all got to sleep in this morning, praise the Lord! We slept in a bit, and all woke up around 7:50 a.m. The boys specifically asked to go get Emmie out of bed, and she was excited to see them first thing in the morning.

Brinner Repeat
Have you ever seen a baby girl who loves dinosaurs as much as Emerson does?!
…
Rosie the Riveter
Baby girl was wearing an adorable, new-to-her, hand-me-down romper this morning. And I think it makes her look a tiny little like Rosie the Riveter! Now I’m really wishing I would have tied a cute little red bandana around her head!

A Monday-ish Tuesday
As much fun as we had at the beach yesterday, today Emmie and I had to go back to our usual schedule. I dropped her off with Miss Kayla this morning, because poor Ms. Q was at home with a sick kid. Drop-off wasn’t perfectly smooth today, and Emmie cried when I left. But, as my mom pointed out, she had three days full of lots of family time, so it was bound to be harder than usual.
…
Beach Bums
Today was our beach day! We woke up early-ish, so we didn’t waste too much of the day by sleeping late. Plus, y’all know this baby girl doesn’t sleep late anyways!
…
Dining Room Rug
Little Bitty Nugget woke up early today for no reason, so we had some special, quiet time, complete with milk and Pop-Tarts.
…
Family Fun Day
Today was a full, busy day, spent with lots of family! Nita came over around 7:25am, and her and Jeff hit the road by 7:45, to go pick up the boys for their spring break. I made a mini egg & cheese & salsa burrito for me, and scrambled eggs for Emmie. But of course she needed a few bites of Mommy’s food, but she wanted to take a bit out of the side, instead of the end, like a little maniac! Twice!

Shoes & Candles
Anybody wanna take a guess what Emerson asked for first thing this morning? A gummy worm, of course!
