Crazy Day

We get our car washed at a great place. People who wash cars here take it very seriously and take a very long time. The place we go to happens to be near a lot of places I needed to go anyway, so a busy day ensued. Dropped car off, packed Ben into stroller, stopped at Petco, walked a few blocks to Bed Bath and Beyond, Starbucks, Ralphs for groceries, back to car wash to wait because it STILL wasn't done. Because I had Ben in the stroller, Lily pushed a kid cart, which she takes very seriously. You know what I take seriously? Don't run my ankles over with that cart, that's what. You know what Ben takes seriously? Being 2 and having major mood swings that blow us away. Anyway, Lily was SO helpful and we got everything done with minimal damage.

I said "minimal." Here is Lily being a little old lady. This is also where I gave her my house keys with my Ralphs card on the ring which she then shoved into her backpack when I wasn't paying attention and when we got home to find them missing, she let me drive back to two locations before reminding me that "OH! I remember! The keys are in my backpack!"
