The Pink & Blue (almost) Daily: An Adventure and PIGTAILS!!!

Today's adventure began with a simple plan to go grocery shopping in Mt Pleasant. Serena was apparently very tired out from the weekend, so I finally went in and woke her up at 9 so we could get things moving today! Upon arriving at Walmart around 10:30, I discovered that Serena not only had a poopy diaper, but that it was leaking out. :P So, off to the bathroom to take care of Crisis #1. After that, we spent Way Too Long wandering around the Electronics Department trying to track down a cord for the projector for Camp. When I finally found what I hoped would be a suitable substitute for what they needed, I started off to the grocery section. Only to get a whiff of Bret's diaper. Lovely. And it had leaked out the back. Off to the bathroom for the second time to take care of Crisis #2. By the time I managed to finish up my shopping at Walmart, we had been there for almost an hour and a half...twice as long as I had anticipated. Oh well, on to Aldi. Got everyone loaded up and headed down the road. About when I got the truck up to 20 mph, I noticed a strange noise. I immediately thought, "TIRE!" and sure enough, when I looked at the dashboard, the back tire on the driver's side was lit up. We were just half a block or so from McDonalds, so I pulled over there. I figured that way I could get the kids in the air conditioning and nurse Bret while I tried to get a hold of Jordan and figure out a game plan. Of course, the NOT awesome cell phone reception back at Camp made getting a hold of Jordan a not-so-simple task. :P Thankfully, Jordan had an air compressor in the truck, so I aired up the tire and drove it back to Walmart. They were able to get us in right away and patched up the tire. The tire ordeal took about 2 hours. AAANNNNDD, we still had Aldi left to go! :P Which, thankfully, was uneventful. As was the trip home. Phew!

I've been thinking for a while now that I'd like to try putting Serena's hair in pigtails since it's getting pretty long, but I kept forgetting to pick up little hair ties until today. They turned out SO cute!!! :)
