Harrison Lake

We spent Saturday afternoon out on the boat.

Listen up folks, this is big news. The daffodils are up and have bloomed, the ice is off the water, and the green grass is making an early appearance.

We might just get lucky and get Spring--during the months of "Spring."

Taking the boat out in the middle of March was the icing on the cake--fresh air, crisp water, and peaceful surroundings made for a relaxing afternoon.

John and I are always a little leery when it comes to taking Brecken out on the water--let's be honest, the kid is kind of a handful so confining him to a boat seems like a prison sentence.

Much to our surprise he was beyond well-behaved--I'll give the credit to a bag of Goldfish and a handful of suckers.

Thank goodness for refined sugars.

As a young girl I was always jealous of the kids who got added attention because of their braces, glasses and inhalers. I sensed that what they had was something uniquely special--giving them a leg up in life.

One day my little sister came home with braces and then soon after glasses and for awhile I was secretly jealous of her.

As I got older I began to use her glasses as a new tool for younger sibling torture. When a fight would ensue the phrase "four eyes are better than two!"  would then begin to echo throughout the house before my Mom was called into to referee the latest drama. 

Soon after I went to high school and found that glasses were no longer just a fashion statement by some, and a joke to others, but they were also a necessity to many.

After long hours of reading I found that glasses were essential to my survival through my academic years.

After years of wearing them, I finally retired my glasses after graduation.

However, in the last year or so I have seen small signs of aging hitting me in subtle ways. There are the creases by my eyes that never seem to quite fade, the ache that my back endures from laying on the floor too long, and the blurriness that sometimes clouds my once perfect vision when I try to read the words on the television which sits across the room.

Luckily, creases can be fixed with makeup, my back can be adjusted with a special mattress, and my eyes can see clearly again with the use of eyeglasses.

And luckily for me finding eyeglasses online is so simple that I no longer need to slave away in the mall for hours.

32/40

This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind-multi doctors appointments, errands, meetings, play groups, packing, cleaning, long car drives--a little bit of everything was going on in the Bishop family. 

This morning has been no different with John hanging over my shoulder constantly saying, "Let's get out of the house. Let's go. blah. blah. blah." 

Did I mention Punk has been carrying around a pack of tic tacs shaking them like crazy, all the while wanting me to feed them to him before breakfast.

It's a mad house.

No rest for the weary I guess...

Earlier this week Brecken and I took a little road trip to Ennis to visit John at work (and to get an ultrasound).

We ate at the Pharmacy where a plethora of sour cream n' chive fries were devoured, fresh squeezed lemonade was savored, and sock-covered chairs were so noticeable that I couldn't help but snap a picture.

Ennis is a quaint little western town that reminds we a lot of my home town.

It's small--like 2,000 or less small. In the summer this quiet little Montana town transforms into a tourist-trap heaven.

Located between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park  this small town welcomes in visitors from all over the world every year. It boasts a handful of authentic hometown eateries and 15 minutes away are two small boom towns with authentic boardwalks, gold panning, and old-west shows.

And soon, we will be calling this place home.  

 We've joked that we are selling our house in the city (city in Montana standards) for an apartment in the country.

Kind of ironic.

While there, we looked at apartments, attempted an ultrasound, and watched Brecken has he flirted with all the ladies at the hospital (he's quite the Casa Nova).

Thanks for stopping in!

Popsicles and Tic Tacs

Yesterday my oh' so favorite pregnant neighbor and I braved the crowds and ventured to a local grocery store for the "Grand Re-Opening." A heavenly place for two pregnant women--lots of samplers, food at ridiculously cheap prices, and no husbands to say "do you NEED that?"

Just two pregnant chicks and baby enjoying oober amazing sales, great shopping, and lots of eating--all.at.the.same.time.

What could be better?!

Brecken was our navigator as we perused the aisles. He would point and gasp at all the boxes and items, yelling out frantically if he knew the name of a certain food. Luckily my heart was sympathetic for him so he managed to score a bag of Popsicles and a box of orange tic tacs--heaven in his eyes.

I haven't had the heart to tell him yet that the Popsicles were actually for his Momma...

;)

Do you have any grocery shopping rituals? Do you take your munchkins? Or is it a solo retreat to re-energize? Please tell--it's more of a rat race adventure in this home
