my lunch date

before i talk about my lunch date today :), i just want to say thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in having me to their city. i have gotten 77 emails! there is really no way i would EVER have expected that, nor will i be able to get to everyone, so now i have to pick the cities with the most interest and decide how many i can visit in one year. if i dont get to your city this year, dont despair, 2008 will be here before know it.

so far, the cities with the most concentrated interest are:

seattle, WA
upstate NY
boston, MA
minneapolis, MN
phoenix, AZ
perth (AUS)
sydney (AUS)

i am still taking information, so if you are interested, please email me with your city/state in the subject line. i will be announcing concrete details very soon!

onto my lunch date.

my little banana.

we got these cafeteria trays at target and i have so much fun putting together meals for the kids in them. its just not complete until every section is full of something! and then it is oh so satisfying. :)

she has to have both of her sparkly cups. and asks me to bite the ends off the pickle. i love how she closes her eyes when she takes a bite. after school we make lunch and sit and eat together, then i put her down for a nap after we read and snuggle. these are special days. they march on faster and faster. counting down to the day they are all gone, all day.
