Allez Cuisine

I cooked some grilled cheese sandwiches and canned tomato soup for dinner. Hannah thought it was the best thing she'd ever had, particularly the soup.

"It tastes like sugar and honey and sweetness."

"It tastes like pudding but its soup and its so good."

A Dream Deferred

We went by the shelter Saturday (Julie claims just to "pet" the animals but I know better) and Hannah fell in love with one.

It was a little terrier mutt of some sort. We decided to get it, but were told we couldn't until it was spayed (it was only six or seven weeks old). Hannah was, for lack of a better word, crushed.

On the way home Hannah told us all about how she was going to take such good care of the dog, and even settled on a name.

Sadly, today we were told that the dog had come down with parvo, and that our best bet would be to pick a different dog as they felt the best option would be to euthanize her.

Hannah was, again, crushed.

But we'll find another dog. Here's a picture to remember her by.

RIP, Sparkles

Rollin' on 20s

We were getting our van serviced at the dealership and Hannah and Libby decided to check out the cars.

At some point, Hannah morphed into a car salesperson.

"This car is good for people."

"If you're going somewhere this car knows how to get there."

There She Is ...

I was trying to explain the miss America pageant to Hannah.

Me: Well they find out which girl is prettiest and smartest and whichever one is, wins.

Hannah: who won?

Me: A girl from Opelika.

Hannah: Mama?

An Entirely New Banking Experience

I guess Hannah's been hearing me talk about work too much, because she decided to start a bank in our room. Libby came in and stunk the place up, and Hannah ran out to tell us:

GET THIS BABY OUT OF HERE SHE'S POOPING IN THE BANK

WE DON'T NEED NO POOPING IN THE BANK
