After School Today...
...the girls wanted to go to the park. They heard Bonnie say she was taking Joel, so I thought okay, why not. So we loaded them up and started out.. but.. it started raining. They didn't like that, but I wasn't gonna let them get out even though by the time we got there it was just drizzling, and warm.. so warm.. ohh please Mammy it's not raining much.. sad eyes, frowny mouths.. tempting, but nooo.. we went for a ride instead, hoping it would stop so they could get out and play awhile.
We went to Mayhew Cemetery to see if we could find a grave for someone in South Carolina.. found it.. then we went through the city cemetery.. got the shot with the doll, and then (thank goodness) it stopped drizzling long enough to let the kids get out and play for a while. We pretty much had the park to ourselves...that was nice.. *laughs* It told me others had much more sense than we did. Still... the kids enjoyed it.
Look at those clouds! This is my very favorite photo of Mallory so far...
I watch Mallory play. She's always seems at full throttle..even though we try to get her to go slower, she just can't seem to remember to slow down.. go easy, take her time.. it's just got to be fast, no looking before leaping, she reminds me of that Reba Macintyre song, "That Little Girl I knew." (I think that's the title - something like that, anyway.) Red faced from being warm from her exertions, shining eyes, that triumphant smile, she just can't go slow.. (I can't drive..55!) I sometimes wonder how she is when we're not watching her to remind her to slow down. She's like a wild horse chomping at the bit, it's like..even tho to me she's still going full throttle, she's not even half way there and is just dying to pump it up... She wears me out just watching her!
