Just An Ordinary Day.

I just love these yellow flowers and couldn't resist snapping a few shots in this field I found. I even got McKenzie to snap a few shots with my camera. She's going to be quite the photographer someday.

On another note, after I picked McKenzie up from school we got some icecream at a place called "The Roasting Co." and then we hit one of my new favorite vintage shops called "Vintage Goods." I saw this pretty white wicker basket with a lid and saw a very large lizard sitting on top of this white wicker basket. I'm thinking... that's kinda strange to have a fake lizard on top of this white wicker basket inside a vintage goods store and I'm also looking at this lizard thinking... that is one real-life-looking lizard. As I'm just about to investigate the pretty white wicker basket and take off its lid, that real-life-looking lizard blinked its eye at me and I let out the biggest scream that I think anyone within a 2 mile radius could have heard. This was not just an ordinary lizard I have seen in my yard basking in the sun, this was the biggest lizard I have ever seen. McKenzie came to investigate and said "I'll catch it!" and I said "Oh no you don't! A lizard of that size might bite!" The lady working at the store apologized and said it's a crocodile lizard and it just came in through their front door while they had it open. So, I never really got to investigate that white wicker basket that I was going to put Callie's new wooden train set in that I picked up a few weeks ago at another vintage shop.

Ok, so now I'm home and finally recovering from the lizard incident and Jasper has left me some of his poop on the living room floor. Of course Callie runs over to investigate and I tell her "don't touch that." So, if you tell a child not to touch something, I swear it just makes them want to touch it more. So she picks it up and I'm yelling "Callie, drop that disgusting poop of Jasper's on the floor!" I'm then rushing her into the bathroom to wash her hands and saw more poop on the bathroom floor but this time it came from Callie. I stripped her of her clothes and tossed them in the utility room sink, plugged the drain, poored a little spray-n-wash in the sink and ran some cold water. Meanwhile, I got Callie cleaned up and put her in the bathtub for a good scrubbing... got her cleaned up along with a bath for McKenzie. Ok, so now for the good part... are you ready? I heard this dripping coming from the utility room so I went to investigate and there was water everywhere... you guessed it... I had forgotten all about the water running in the sink and it completely flooded the laundry room. I'm thinking... "Oh my god, where do I start?" I pulled the drain, opened the back door and started sweeping the water out the back door. Then Callie starts chanting "I whana come out now!"... remember she is still in the tub. Well, I did get the water cleaned up and the kids feed and ready for bed. Here's to another ordinary day in my life.
