It was one of those days, you know? It's Wednesday which means Adelaide normally has preschool. After getting David and Zara off to work and school respectively, I quickly got Benjamin, Adelaide, and myself dressed and ready while trying to make a shopping list and process a return to an online store. I finally get us loaded up in the car (late, naturally) and then hit lots of construction and traffic on the way. We rotate where preschool is held among the five girls and today's host is normally a 15 minute drive away, but today it took half an hour. I was already disgruntled when I arrived only to be informed that preschool had been cancelled and I must have missed the text.
I needed to be out that way to run errands so no big deal, but now it meant that I would have to take Adelaide with me to Zara's Thanksgiving luncheon and we were crunched for time. So I quickly stopped at the FedEx store to drop off my package, booked it to Sprouts where I blitzed through grabbing things as quickly as I could, and then raced back to the car and home where I threw the necessary items in the refrigerator and made it to Zara's school just in time.
We ate a Thanksgiving meal with Zara. Of course Zara refused to eat the turkey and stuffing and got a different meal; Adelaide only halfheartedly ate her food, and Benjamin wanted to feed himself the sweet potato souffle which of course ended up all over himself and me.
We got back from Zara's lunch and let Benjamin and Adelaide play outside for a little bit. Benjamin just wanted to play in the dirt and Adelaide just wanted to play with the cat. So I grabbed my camera and had a little impromptu photo shoot. I managed to get a few good shots even though Benjamin was studiously trying to avoid looking at me.
I'm particularly proud of this snot bubble right here. Benjamin has been dripping so much the last few days.
