Today was so great.

We had a family trip to Costco, where Marc and I had our eyes checked out. Apparently, I need reading glasses and Marc has an astigmatism – which explains the headaches he has been getting. I picked out a large frame that I thought was super cute a fulfilled my hipster dreams and the optometrist informed me that I had picked the second largest female frames in the store and that they were much to large for my face and would distort my prescription…. so I found a smaller, but still large frame. And Marc thinks they look cute. So there.

Tonight we had the “Parent Prom” girls camp fundraiser for Jo and Ty’s Ward. It was so much fun getting all fancy. I borrowed a prom dress from Lily and Marc wore his old tux #fancy.

We were listening to the sound track to Sing while we were getting ready. And the song Don’t you worry about a thing came on. It has some prime bealty moments and Ruby was going to town singing her little heart out. She would get big and loud and carry the notes that our held longer. I don’t know if she or Marc and I looked more proud.

The dance was Alice in Wonderland themed and babysitting included.

It was a blast dancing around the dance floor with Marc. And he would get crazy and grab me, hold me close, and do his dangerously fast Mexican spins. We dipped. Twirled. Pretzeled. And paused to take a nursing break for Hazel #reallife. Jojo made crème brûlée for part of the desserts. (Ah-making) we were all considering having a moment alone with out desert bowls they were so good.

At the end of the dance we all brought our babies in to dance to a few. Ruby’s favorite was the song Shout. Everyone was dancing and throwing their arms up for all the shouts and getting crazy on the little bit louder now and little bit softer now parts. Ruby and Hazel were both singing along by the end of it.

When we got home I was helping Ruby back inside the house and she wanted to stop and just look at the stars. She just pointed up and started babbling on about the stars. She loves them and thinks they are beautiful.

We left the house a little turned around so we got out pj’s on and Ruby helped us “clean up, clean up” and get everything put away. Chores are still exciting and fun and she is all game.

Marc and I watched Wonder and we just cried. It made me really stop and think about different things about being a mom.

then I got Hazel up for her last feeding. She is so sweet and she just fell asleep in my arms after she ate, which she hardly ever does. And I just held her close and snuggled her and simply enjoyed holding my baby while she is still my little baby that I make safe and everything alright
