this week

downs:
-sleeping. lack of it. Ruby has been having troubles and i'm not sure why (i'm thinking tooth #7). i just hope it passes soon.
-being volunteered to do something without my knowledge or approval... ahem...
-missing another bijou market. then finding out that the next beehive bazaar is going on during our 3-day drive home and will be over by the time we get there. boo.
-Ruby's hunger strike continues. vegetables, grains, fruits, cheeses, or proteins? no, thanks. cheddar bunnies and graham crackers? ok... unless i'm not in the mood.
-missing another birthday in utah for one of Roo's buddies. happy birthday baby J! we miss you!

ups:
-watching Roo start playing pretend. she moves her dolls and stuffed animals around and makes them interact with each other. it's kind of the most adorable thing.*
-the trees in full bloom. so so pretty.
-this growing vocabulary:

-the way the hubs makes me laugh until i can't breathe.
-Little Miss learning how to blow kisses.
-my sister going to the bijou market and being my personal shopper for the day. it's nice knowing that my doppelganger is scoring all the best stuff for me.
-the look on Ruby's face when she's on the swings.

pure joy.
