\"\"<\/a>My dates today. Princess or witch? A little of both! <\/p>\n

They hid. In a store. I had the entire staff searching for them. I tried everything–yelling a the top of my lungs for them to come out and NOW! No avail. I began to panic–what if someone snatched them and carried them out the back door? <\/div>\n
Finally, I heard a small whispering voice and traced it to the linens. And hiding on the bottom shelf, behind giant quilts were these two. I was so mad. Even a shopper who’d helped in the search was mad at them! <\/div>\n
And after a lecture and a forced apology and promise to never hide again, we stopped at the park. Doe-Doe’s park we call it (Fernando often accompanies us to the park).<\/div>\n
There I met PSCHO<\/span>-Mom. YIKES and ICK<\/span>! First thing she stopped me to say her child has a severe peanut allergy and have we had peanuts today? I humored her–no we hadn’t. And then the two lovelies<\/span> were playing on the slide in the pic above and singing ABBA songs when she barked, “Make sure MY daughter isn’t in any of your photos!” I was taken aback–her daughter was off to the side, above the slide. I said, “She’s not.” And Psycho barked, “Just make sure she isn’t!” Wow. Mental illness is scary. We were the only other people in the park besides that Psycho–she’d probably scared all the others away.<\/div>\n
Mist is set for another busy year–I’ve had to say no to field hockey as she’s doing too much: band, piano, musical theatre\/jazz, school rec-team, social justice club and candy striper<\/span>.<\/div>\n
Tabs is doing piano and musical theatre\/jazz and soccer. Pip is doing preschool two mornings a week–my girls are all ready to go.<\/div>\n
There are bears in the area. A mother and two cubs were spotted in the area. I do worry about the bears. The devastation<\/span> of salmon stocks is creating mass starvation.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
