The question came from A first thing every morning all last week. My sweet, sweet girl. YES!! Yes, we are better. She was getting cabin fever, so we all headed out today. We needed some things to finish the projects around the house, and I had a great time letting A chase me up to the checkouts. We picked out some movies and a couple of books from the library, got some lunch at Quiznos and ate it picnic style in the back of the car. Ab wanted to paint when we got home-mostly because we busted out the paint for the bathroom. She had a great time. 
Later we were outside looking at the rocket stove Dad had made, and Ab stepped in some mud and started crying that her shoes were dirty. I got her to wash them off a little in the water going down the street gutter, but that wasn't enough :) "I need new shoes! These shoes are dirty!" Oh little Julie! Another testament to the "My mom is Julie" comment. Such a cutie.
