A Mellow Brick Road...: A Day Downtown

This morning while Daddy was at work, Mommy was hurriedly getting you dressed and fed, as well as myself so that when Daddy arrived home we could head downtown. Our plan was to stroll through the Farmer’s Market, and then check out all the art on display. Mommy wanted everyone to be included, including Mr. Arlo, despite Daddy’s objections. So, Mommy got the wagon fixed up and loaded Mr. Arlo into, while Daddy loaded you two into the “carriage.” Mr. Arlo couldn’t quite get comfortable, so Mommy ran into the house to get two of Daddy’s pillows ha/ha Then we were good to go. Mr. Arlo jumped out a few times, but then Mommy figured out why, rather quickly, he had to poo. Mommy forgot to bring a bag, so Mr. Arlo left a huge present for one of our Walnut neighbors :0 We then continued our journey, Mr. Arlo all comfy, and enjoyed all the festivities downtown. Everyone got the biggest kick out of Mr. Arlo, sitting on pillows in covered wagon like Mr. King. About ten people, no joke, asked to take Mr. Arlo’s pictures. Of course, everyone talked about how cute you two were as well, however, Mr. Arlo is going to be featured for 4H in some form ha/ha. A lady asked to take his picture for 4H, but I’m not quite certain how she is going to use his photo.

We continued our adventure, Mommy scoring a handmade ring… Mommy is a sucker for anything handmade, it could probably be classified as an addiction. You two enjoyed your usual cookie and herbal tea. You both wouldn’t stop throwing a fit over all the balloons on display, so Mommy again, against Daddy’s objections, decided to cut you both down a balloon. Another older gentlemen with his three children helped Mommy ha/ha Mommy told you both you two were going to get Mommy arrested :0 Anyway, we really had a great time, but Jude man you obviously had been smoking some bath salts (“Oh MY GOSH,” as you say Bodhi, speaking of bath salts… there was a crazy story in the news about a guy who had been smoking bath salts and he ate the face off of a homeless man, and another guy witnessed the whole thing and called the police) so Mommy probably shouldn’t joke about the whole bath salts epidemic, it’s no laughing matter, Mommy has to deal with it in my career, uggggh, but you, Jude, were out of your little mind. You were screaming, hitting, and biting your sister. Daddy almost pulled down your pants and whipped your ass in front of everyone (Daddy is by far the most anti-spanking person I know) so that’s saying a lot. Of course had he pulled your pants down he would have discovered what had you so upset… you had major diarrhea aka “dina-rina” as you say Bodhi. We tried everything to calm you down, but all you needed was a new diaper and some lunch, followed by a nap. Wow! The walk home was horrible!

After naps, Mommy and Daddy started the grill. Sister Kelly came over and visited with you two while Brother Aaron was getting their car checked out at the mall. Daddy made hamburgers on the grill while Mommy fried up some potatoes and other sides. Jude, you went to town eating, Bodhi, you just don’t care for meat. We might have to go vegetarian for you J After dinner, and after Sister Kelly left, Mommy took you two outside to love on Baby Ella and Dora Kitty. You two also played on your swing set, and then it was time to get ready for bed. Bodhi, you decided there was no way you were going to bed. Buddha, you fell right to sleep.

Mommy took you, Bodhi, and Baby Ella for a walk. Mommy’s friend Dianna and her family walked over right was we were getting ready to eat, so we walked down to their house to see if by chance they were still awake. Dianna’s babes were all tucked in for the night L so we continued our walk. After our walk you wanted to swing on the porch swing, which we did. Then you wanted to swing on your swing, which you did. However, you still weren’t tired and you asked to go to Grandmoo’s. So, at 9:45 p.m. at night, Mommy dropped you off at Grandmoo’s for an hour. You two had a good ol’ time playing dress-up. When Mommy arrived an hour later to pick you up, you were putting makeup on Grandmoo, and you had of makeup on yourself ha/ha We then headed home and called it a night. You actually slept the whole night in your bed J Mommy’s mission accomplished! Sweet Dreams my sweet babes.
