Happy International Women's Day

[mamajoan]

Day started out promisingly enough. We went shoe shopping, my daughter picked shoes with fire trucks on them and my son picked shoes with hearts. (However it turned out that the heart shoes cost $45 whereas the ones with deep-pink stars were $25 so I managed to talk him into stars instead.)

Then we went to head out, newly shod, for our next adventure, and...the car wouldn't start. *facepalm*

Insert several hours of related annoyance here. Sigh.

Oh well. On the plus side, glad I decided to do the shoe shopping first. How much worse would it have been to break down in the parking lot of Market Basket with a trunk full of groceries? Don't answer that. And hey! At least I get to wait till Monday to find out how much this latest car thing is going to cost me. groan!

In less whiny news, I forgot to post yesterday that I uploaded a new video of the kids to YouTube. I'm too tired to dig up the embed link right now so I'm gonna make you work for it. click here to watch Isaac and Ruthie sing a duet.

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta scrape something up for dinner on account of we didn't get to the aforementioned grocery shopping.

Oh, and btw? is it just me, or are they making Cadbury Creme Eggs smaller than they used to? anyone?

Oh gosh, that video is adorable!!

I hope the car stuff doesn't cost you too much.

I'm not sure about the Cadbury Creme Eggs because I haven't gotten any yet, but when I do I'll let you know. :D

Sort of :)

From the Cadbury Creme Egg FAQ:
If you're eating a Cadbury Crème Egg in the UK or Canada - nothing has changed, they're the same size as ever. However, in the United States, our business partner, Hershey, elected to reduce the size of the crème egg.

That was insanely cute, but what have you done to your little boy's hair?!
