Yesterday, Olympia and I went to Sam's Club to get the vacation photos printed. (I will do a Hawaii post soon.) As the lady was checking our receipt, she asked Olympia if she had gotten her picture taken today because she was so cute. Olympia just looked at her with a blank stare, so I said, "No, she just always looks that cute." The lady responded with, "Well, she sure is cute."
Olympia said as we were walking out the door,
"That's because God made me cute."
Thumbs up!

no way really?
I have something rather shocking to say. Okay here it goes.
I have not been inside Wal-mart since January 1.
Okay, close your mouth, it's not that shocking. But, I somehow managed to survive thus far. I don't think my grocery bill is higher. I know I am less crabby once I am done grocery shopping. I was not a frequent shopper of the mart, but I would visit while I was waiting on pictures from Sam's Club or whatever. But yesterday, I went to Super Target to pick up a few things, and when I handed the lady my reusable bag to put the stuff in, she says, "You know Target now has biodegradable sacks." That is why I will keeping shopping there. Plus, there is never anyone there, they have a great organic line and Olympia loves it there. So ask me every once in a while, and see if I have gone back on my promise.

a democracy?
Yesterday was our democratic caucus. Jeremy and I both were so excited about finally having a "vote" the might matter. We took Olympia along to the caucus, so she could see how it works and we didn't want to find a babysitter. She had a blast. They made her wear an "observer" sticker, so she wouldn't accidentally get counted. When dad went and stood with the undecided group, Olympia walked over and said "Daddy, come stand with us!" (that a girl!) Well, of course the caucus is the talk of the town, so she tells everyone that "last night we went to that thing, what's it called mom?" I tell her it was the caucus to which she adds to pick how will live in the white house. (I know she is a freaking genius.)
This afternoon, we were on the couch. I was making notes on a notepad, when Olympia took the pad and pen from me and started to point around the room, then write somethings down, then point some more and write more. I asked her what are you doing? "We're caucusing mom." Of course we are, this is a democracy right?
