Chris wrote a post at our Sarah’s Siganture Blog about Bella’s comment regarding white balance. This reminded me of a couple other scenarios that have occurred lately.
Upon leaving the house in the early morning Bella looks at the sky as the sun is rising and remarks
“This would be excellent lighting for wedding photos”.
So true!
Shortly before Clare’s second birthday I was kicking back reading the wedding issue of Rangefinder (kindly given to me by Joey and Laura of Life Art Photographs when they went to WPPI this past year) Clare nonchalantly walks up to me, takes my magazine from my hand and replaces it with a Board book about baby animals. She then proceeds to walk into the bathroom, sit down on her potty chair and “read” Rangefnder. As she turns pages she makes little remarks like “ohhhhh” and “pretty”. She looked at the entire issue before she found the magazine After Capture and proceeds to read. Before finishing her business she also perused the massive B&H catalog saying things like “Oh, picture. Mommy’s camera”.
I wonder where she learns these things?

Clare walks into the room covered in something brown. I ask her what it is and she replies in a wistful voice “shhhhacat”
ah. chocolate. good.
Sadly, I wasn’t so lucky 2 days ago. While eating dinner Clare turns to face me. While holding a hot dog in her right hand she holds out her left hands and says “Poop, mama!”.
Um. Ew. This from the girl who is afraid to pick up dirt.

Clare and Lydia were fighting over a container of bubbles. Clare bit Lydia’s thumb. Between hysterical sobs Lydia cries “Clare ate me!”.

This morning carter, Bella and I sneaked out of the house at 8 AM leaving Chris and the babies asleep. We headed over to the Farmer’s Market. Amazingly our favorite parking spot was still open (I’m not telling you where our secret spot is because you might steal it next week) so we didn’t have to walk far. First stop was our favorite booth- Soder Apiaries (I can’t find a website but here’s a map to their market location) to pick up honey and some veggies. The favorite thing to do is the children’s activity. Today’s activity was planting corn and soy beans to take home and (in conjunction with the celebrasian festival) finding out your name in Chinese. We also picked up a delicious meal at Dos Rios for only $5 and the kids purchased Dutch letters. After a relaxing picnic we purchased some herbs for our garden, some tasty asparagus & fresh lettuce & headed over to the Green Living Expo. Amazingly, we were too early for it (shocking, I know!) & decided go over to the Cathedral for awhile. The kids and I spent our time looking at all the stained glass windows, the furniture used at Pope John Paul 2’s 1979 visit, architecture & statues. It was fun reminiscing about the years St. Ambrose was my home parish as a little girl. After my trip down memory lane the Naturally Green Expo was open. The kids talked me into buying balloon animals (how is that Green Living? I don’t know) and buying Clare a birthday present. I bought an adorable pair of handmade shoes for a baby gift from Sarah, owner of Wallypop. I also got to visit with Shanen Ebersole from Ebersole Cattle Company as well as Abby & Mama P from Simply Food, Nothing Extra. I am blessed to call these women friends and excited to spend this coming Wednesday cooking freezer meals together. Upon arriving home I ate my Sea salted almonds in dark chocolate bar and Chris came home from the store with some lovely roses for me. What a happy Saturday! Now I am off to bake Clare’s birthday cake. How can she possible be 2 already?
