The Cheetah Book

While London was sitting on one of the bar stools the other day, she pointed towards the kitchen and said, "I want that cheetah book." Carter had gotten a book about animals for his birthday, so I thought she meant that, but I knew it wasn't in the kitchen. I walked in there and said, "There's no cheetah book in here, London." And she said, "Yes there is. In that drawer." So I opened the drawer she was pointing at, and this is what I saw:

The phone book! Isn't that hilarious? And yes, Carter has already pointed out to me that it isn't a cheetah on the cover. But I gave it to London and she looked at it for a long time, just turning the pages and looking them over. She loves that book!

We've had a fun week. Today was Carter's last t-ball game. He got two great hits and also did a really good job fielding the ball. He got a trophy too--his first one. He's so proud of it. He was carrying it inside when we got home and he dropped it on the tile. It broke into 2 pieces, and I just knew he was going to be devastated. But he wasn't...I told him I would glue it back together and he was fine with that. Wow!

And because Justin has been gone to high school camp and senior trip since Monday, I received these flowers from my sweet husband for staying home with the kiddos. Thank you, Justin, for the flowers, and thank you, Wes and Shelly, for helping me so much while he's been gone! Only about 24 more hours until he's home...and yes, I am counting.
