"Lola"

One of Cadence's greatest obsessions is her stroller, AKA "Lola". She climbs into it each chance she gets, hoping someone will take her for a ride. This week she brought me her shoes so I put them on her feet. Then she brought me one of my socks, then the other, then each of my tennis shoes. After I had put them all on, she grabbed my hand and led me outside where "Lola" awaited. I am blessed to have a husband who takes her for a stroll each morning after breakfast so that I can have some time alone with the Lord.

Breakfast with the Blantons

As I sit at the breakfast table to blog after being up since dawn, Jody is still fast asleep, Cadence is pulling Kleenex out of the box one by one. This is AFTER she has finished her toast and thrown her spinach and eggs (that I made) on the floor while saying "No, NO!" as I coaxed her to just try them. Apparently she does NOT like green eggs. She took off her clothes, crawled upon the table, got my hot tea and is now using my vitamin bottle as a musical instrument to shake while she also shakes her "tail feathers". It occurs to me that "Housewife" is a title that falls far short of my job description. I'm changing my title to "International Peace Keeper".








There goes the diaper...and isn't even 8am.

SHOES!!!!!

Cadence loves shoes. She is constantly bringing us a shoe that she wants to put on...often with a mate that doesn't match. She carries her shoes all over the house and it is virtually impossible to find a complete pair because she has put them in separate places. She also loves to try on other people's shoes and walk around. I think shoes to her equal adventure and excitement as they often mean we are going out of the house.
