Lincoln Park

We pulled up to the house today and Allie nonchalantly asked if all of the chickens were dead. Maddie matter-of-factly said, "nope."

Maddie: mama, I'm going to open a bakery when I grow up. And I'm going to learn how by reading on a kindle. 

I took the girls to Nordstroms to exchange allie's shoes. Maddie and Allie both got balloons. Allie popped hers as soon as we got home and started bawling, which was heartbreaking. Maddie immediately took hers off her wrist and gave her balloon to Allie. 

Nonna took the girls to the market yesterday. Maddie recapped their trip for me. "We got two pick out a toy, but only if the lady was there. Nonna helped me pick out a red snake and the flower lady gave us flowers"  All fine and dandy right? Cut to a few hours later when Maddie said, "mama, Nonna had the death scared out of her because she thought Allie was in the street but she was standing on the stairs"

BUSTED

At dinner the other night Allie asked how Auntie Sophia's baby got into her tummy. We were able to divert that question pretty quickly. I have no idea how to explain that stuff to a four year old. 

And finally, related to the title, we went to Lincoln park tonight to take pictures of Chris and Sophia. Zach and Sonja showed up and we all had fun until it was time to leave.
