The Mug Shot

On Saturday Rachel, Matthew and I took our weekly shopping trip to Walmart. Rachel always likes to bring her baby doll in and then have someone else hold it. Today she wanted her baby and her new purple necklace. We were not even all the way in the store before Rachel decided she did not want to wear the necklace. She proceeded to put it in my purse for later. Matthew and I seperated to make the trip quicker, and Rachel stayed with me in the cart. I was heading down the baby isle to get pedialyte and found some really cute pink gloves on sale for just $1. So I grabed them, a 2 for 1 sale. I handed them to Rachel and she got excited as she always does when it comes to buying her something. I then continued my shopping. As we were in the check out lane Rachel began to unzip my purse, I saw her and said ... "hey - you do not go in mommy's purse without asking." She replied "but I have to get my stuff." I just shook my head and unzipped it so she could grab her necklace. To Matthew and I's shocked expression I found the pink gloves in my purse. She STOLE them! Not really, she does not know any better, but wanted to put her gloves in my purse with her necklace. We just started laughing, pulled them out and put them on the counter with the rest of our groceries. Matthew immeadiately began checking all her pockets for more loot. Thankfully there was none. I am so glad she remembered to pull them out of the purse or else this may have truly been a real mug shot.

November is here...

The weather is getting colder and as we prepare for church Rachel has picked out her long sleeve dress, white tights and brown shoes. Then she asked to wear clips in her hair, and then asked me to take her picture. She is such a little girl and yet, she plays like a little boy. Gotta love her tough and feminine sides!
