Aunt Sarah

I love my friend Sarah. She is 26 years old, unmarried and no children. So bless her heart, even though she thinks she knows what's going on. She really doesn't. Rissie and Ruby have ballet on Fridays so afterwards we met up with Sarah for lunch. She asked if I would like to get sushi, and I had to remind her that I didn't think the girls would be interested.

After sitting through lunch with my little heifers (my pet name for the girls) and a trip to the bathroom where they had to touch everything, we headed out for cupcakes. After stuffing themselves on icing, I decided it might be a good idea to walk some of it off.

So why not try some place new? Ok, sure. Not like you're going to be able to look. Not with 2-4 year olds wanting to touch everything. Oh let's just open all the bulk bins and stick our head in and smell. I don't think anyone will mind. Out of that trip to Earth Fare, I ended up with decaf coffee, because I didn't take time to read the label, and a Mexican Coke Cola for Tim. Sounds productive huh?

Sarah's great idea was hitting the "Dollar Stop" at Target. Of course the girls were in heaven, so I had to limit their purchases to two each. Puts a damper on things, but other wise we'd walk out with everything in the store. They both picked out the same thing; an enormous red heart ring and a small flower pot with seeds inside (which I doubt will grow.) Aunt Sarah's idea was to take the ring out before I payed for it and let them wear it around the store. So now, will they probably not only lose the ring, but break it in the process....It broke. Thank goodness it was dollar.

It's always fun for Aunt Sarah, as we call her, to come along. She likes to play mom, round up the kids, and pretend that they actually listen to her. I don't think it will hurt to let her keep on thinking that.
