Clifford the Big Red Dog was at the library the other day. Dan Wardell, the host of our public television station was there too and read books to the kids about Clifford. At the end of the story time all the kids got a chance to meet Clifford. We got in line with the rest of the herd but were to in the back half. It was Dan Wardell's job to walk up and down the line to do a little PR making the wait go more quickly for the kids and to maintain a little order. Mr. Wardell was talking to the kids a few families in front of us and when Audrey interrupted, "Dan Wardell! Those kids aren't taking turns!" Dan Wardell smiled and said that they were and she would get her turn soon. "I can see that you are a rule follower." He looked at me and then told her "That's good because the middle child has to make sure things are in order." I agreed and said that we really think that she has a great career ahead of her in law enforcement. Dan Wardell talked to her for a while and then told her he needed to talk to some of the other kids. She stopped in her tracks and gave him a look! She was clearly not pleased. Mr. Wardell looked an me and said, "Oh my! I see what you mean. I feel like she is writing me a citation with her eyes!"
This morning when the kids woke up I told them to put on short sleeves because we had a surprise field trip. We met Gramma B and Gramma Great at the Botanical Center and got to pretend it was spring! By the orchids Lovely Lady (She has been waiting for short sleeve weather so that she can wear this sweater!) Grandmas and the kids Look at the fish! Me and my babes! What is this? This inside of the fig He looks as disturbed as I was to find out that they throw out the plants in the two themed beds every 6 weeks! (We kind of wanted to take them home!) Not sure if this is the wall's intended purpose! What a great brother! Group shot!
