Four minutes of yesterday

Highschool bus pulls up. Juliana hops off, lightly.

AM: "Awe, hi honey-your bag looks so cute with that jacket! How was school?"
J-A: "Uhh...okay. Thanks. School was good"
AM: "Seriously, that is so cool, I can't believe you didn't like it at first, you did a perfect job. Let's take a picture real quick before I take Bela to dance"
J-A: "Hang on, I'm hungry"

Juliana slices of a giant piece of breakfast pastry while Anna dashes for the camera, checking the battery level. Dang. Of course. Puts the rechargeables in their charger and digs through the kitchen drawer for two more.

AM: "Put that sticky thing down and com'ere. Okay just be natural and pretend like you just got off the bus."
J-A: " I did just get off the bus."

Juliana mocks with a slowmotion walk up the front stairs.

AM: "Oh this first one is perfect. Okay that's good. Let's go have a look"
J-A: "Man I look like a stringbean"
AM: "Geesh, you do. You need to eat more Juliana"
J-A: "MOM! I was trying to have schnecken and you made me take a picture. I like it"
AM: "The schnecken?"
J-A: "No. The picture!"
AM: "Oh good, we'll use it. Go eat."

Oh, no. No photo. I so want to see that photo of lovely child pretending to just have (really had) jumped off the bus, looking swell.

Ack. I think that blogger is doing some updating or something, I will try to republish in a little bit. So try to refresh in a little while and it should be up. Hopefully!

if only skinny jeans made me look like a string bean! haha. i always miss so much with people's blogs when i go away for holidays, it's almost as if they update more. it's good to see families get along so well, at least i know my mum and i's relationship isn't the only one like it.
