Ain't Nothin' but an E Thang, Baby

this morning on the way to school we were stopped by a train.
(don't get me started)
we realized that Jared and Colten's buddies were in the car behind us.
(Hanna and Hogan)
Hanna called and said we should swap Jared for Hogan...
then I could just go to the littles school,
and Hanna's mom could just go to the JrHigh...
saving us each a stop.
As we decide this...
the cars start going...
so kids are jumping out...
and jumping in.
Hogan hops in our truck, and says
"UGH I forgot my lunchbox!"
I said to go get it...
so he does.
and jumps back in and says.
"I stopped traffic! I literally stopped traffic! I bet my mom didn't think I'd be doing that until I was 16."
HA.

Jack wasn't feeling great yesterday,
and since he had a fever, I kept him home today.
He's feeling much better and is currently extremely bored.
He came out to the living room to see what I was doing...
and I might have been "shopping" at Anthropologie...
the kind of shopping that involves me placing several items in the cart that I'd love...
and pretending that I can buy them.
So I'm looking...
and I hear Jack
"Whoa Mom. There are a LOT of things there that Lady Gaga would wear!"

and those two things have made my Monday just a little happier.
ok.
the sun shining is helping quite a bit too.
here's to a happy monday.
