almost spring

i knew it was going to be a good day when i walked outside and saw the first robins of spring in our lawn! well, they were the first i had seen, anyway. ella and i had bagels with lisa, miley, and kelly. what fun! our day kind of went downhill after than --- ella had a meltdown and the car wouldn't start when we went to leave preschool. thankfully it was warm and sunny outside so the girls could play with alex and ben until daddy came to rescue us. we got to play taxi for kurt after that, so we got to drive around in the sporty blue car with the sunroof open and our radio disney tunes cranked up loud. i'm sure the girls would have rather been at the park, but it was so fun for me! and they got to play with their neighborfriend when we got home, so all is good. and kurt did all of the laundry for me! what a guy!!!

today my oldest friend is coming to visit. and by oldest i mean we've known each other since we were 8. i can't wait! she's the one who taught me all about shopping --- especially at the baby gap and gymboree. :) so of course we are planning on shopping today. hopefully the guys won't mind staying home and watching basketball too much. :) go hawkeyes!
