Spring Breakin'

I got two whole days off for spring break and we started it out with a BANG...literally.  On Friday morning I went and picked up Tracy from the train station and while we were waiting at a red light, a police car slid right into me!  At first I just thought he hydroplaned (cuz it was rainy) but come to find out, he was hit by a car trying to make a left hand turn and then hit me.  I was craziness.  Tracy and I were just talking and Tracy looked at me and said "I hear squealing..." and as I looked out my window, all I saw was...POLICE CAR...BANG!

Luckily, the policeman didn't hit me very hard and we were all fine, but it was an ordeal.  The police officer called his sheriff who came and told me that since he's employee was involved they had to call an independent agency to come investigate.  Then I was told that this independent agency couldn't file a police report and so they had to call the Unified Police Department to come and file a report.  So pretty much we sat in my car FOREVER...like almost 2 hours.  It was quite the scene though....people probably thought that it was a drug bust or something cuz the po-po had swarmed the area...

Here's the damage to my car...not bad, but such a pain!

try keeping a 1 year old entertained for over an hour while you just sat in the rain and couldn't get out of your car....

The worst part of this whole ordeal is that my car's registration is up at the end of the week and I actually had an appointment to get it inspected that day...well, I won't pass safety with a broken headlight and I can't get my car fixed until we find out who's at fault (the police officer or the woman who hit him) and so that means I will not only be driving around a broken car, but in about 3 days I'll be driving around an expired one...

Other than that, we tried to enjoy my mini vacation as much as we could, which meant we spent as much time outside as possible.  On Sunday, while Les cleaned out his car, Eden kept herself entertained.  She was just happy to be outside...

On Monday, the weather took a turn for the worse but Eden insisted on going outside and looking for bugs!  There were potato bugs calling her name and she was bound and determined to find them.

HEEERRREEE buggie, buggie, buggie... I will find you....

You won't escape the watchful eyes of this little bug catcher...

Gottcha!  Now into the box you go...

And that's when I finally protested and made her go inside because I was FAA-REEZING!  She, however, could have stayed out there all day!

After a piping cup of hot chocolate we headed over to my cute little friend's house to meet her new baby....Oh how I could love on that squishy little thing all day long.  It makes me want another, oh so bad...but for now I'll just love on him to get my fill...

Now it's back to school and back to the books...if I survive this week I'll be amazed!
