Okay, maybe it’s just because my dad and brothers make travel trailers for a living, but I am totally loving this. I just had to share. It is awesome on so many levels. Check out this vintage trailer and all the lovely pictures of its retro French country flair here. Love it!

Oh No! Rainbow

I just bought a new box of Trix cereal. We have started keeping our cereal in air-tight containers instead of the original boxes, so I was transferring the new cereal to the container. I put the lid on and turned it upside down to shake and mix it with the old cereal…DSCN3917

Yeah, it was a lot worse than this. I’m talking like the ENTIRE box of cereal. Poor, Aubrey was on sitting on the floor next to me and got about half the box in her lap. She started crying when I gasped “No!” and Josh came running. I just stood there in disbelief, an ENTIRE box of cereal was on the floor! I kept shaking my head, saying “oh, no,” and tried salvaging as much as I could off of Aubrey and her blanket.

Then, softly, Josh says “It’s okay Mom, we’ll eat it.” It just melted my heart and I grabbed my camera. As Josh started eating some, Aubrey realized she was the luckiest girl ever surrounded by free food and started stuffing her face.DSCN3922

Josh soon realized that eating one at a time was taking too long. So, he grabbed a bag and started filling it up.

You can see that it wasn’t just all over the floor. It was also all over us.  They were stuck (and crushed) on Josh’s knees…DSCN3921

my feet and Aubrey’s …

Now the darn things are spread everywhere and while normally a mess like this would make me upset, you have to admit—it’s pretty funny. :)
