Memorial Day Weekend Recap

Long time, no post, huh? We've been slowly getting back into the swing of things after this weekend and I let the blog fall by the wayside. It's kind of been nice.

Anyway- back to the weekend! We left Thursday after work and hit the road for Richmond Hill, GA (where the new house is located). We got into our hotel around 9 and immediately crashed. We've been getting two queen sized beds, and G and I get to share. Lucky mommy. ;)

First thing on the agenda Friday was a tour of a potential daycare/school for Grace. We definitely got a good feeling about the place and are looking forward to getting her back into a more structured, learning environment. We got some lunch, stalked our house and then met up with the builder and a fence company to pick out our fence and then headed inside to choose our granite! We have a walkthrough in a couple of weeks and then close at the end of the month. Excited doesn't even cover it.

After a celebratory family ice cream date, we made the 20 minute trek to downtown Savannah and checked into the second hotel of the weekend. It had one massive king sized bed so we'd all be bunking family style...and actually it was far easier than the queen bed. After getting situated we were ready to head out and do some exploring. We hopped on a pedi cab and made our way to river street where we found outdoor vendors, a plethora of bars, shopping, and restaurants. We had an awesome seafood dinner and walked around before heading back to the hotel and calling it an early night. (This is what "vacations" with children entail. We've decided to start calling them "family trips", instead.)

Saturday was beach day. We woke, got some breakfast, and made our way to Tybee Island...another short 20 minute commute. This was either going to be a hit or miss with Grace, so we opted to just go for a few hours before lunch and set our expectations pretty low. Turns out she did pretty well and even threw a minor fit when it was time to go. No worries, she passed out in her carseat within 2 minutes of us leaving. The sun and sand does wonders. ;)

After a nap and lunch, we made our way down to the hotel pool for a little bit before it was time to shower up and get ready for dinner. We walked this time and made our way down to the restuarant area slowly, stopping in stores and checking things out. We decided on a little burger joint and it did not disappoint. After a sippy cup spiking incident left our sole sippy cracked (we're amateurs), D headed to find reinforcements and Grace and I made our way back towards the hotel. I saw a little coffee/wine bar that looked cute and we stopped in for treats. Wine for me, ice cream for G. It was just what the doctor ordered. I always forget that you can walk around with alcohol in Savannah, so when they offered a to go cup, I gladly accepted. (Thank you, Savannah.) We met back up with D and enjoyed another glass of wine out on the hotel's patio while the little one enjoyed some MMC on my iPod. We were all exhausted from the long day and it was the perfect way to wrap things up. 

Rain was expected early on Sunday, but when we woke up and saw that the storm hadn't hit yet we were excited to play a little longer before getting on the road. A walk to breakfast and pool trip later we wrapped things up and started the drive home. I can't even tell you how ready I am to be living close enough to make beach trips a regular occurance...and date nights in Savannah. They will be happening at  least once a month.

We were happy to get home Sunday afternoon and have Monday to recoup before the week got underway. I can't believe it is already mid week, but I'll take it...and try to post more regularly for the next few days.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and are having great week's!

Summer Running Streak

Happy Friday! We are in Richmond Hill/Savannah today scoping out Grace's new school and doing some house things. We decided to stay in Downtown Savannah this weekend and we're going to drive to Tybee for a beach day tomorrow. Wish us luck...I have a feeling my girl won't be excited about all of the sand. She HATES having dirty hands and feet, so this should be an adventure. Pictures will be taken to document it all (hopefully) and I'll share next week.

In the mean time, I am pretty pumped to begin a Summer Running Streak on Monday and thought I'd see if anyone wants to join me! You know how I love challenges and accountability.


What is it?

Runner's World is challenging anyone who wants to participate to run at least one mile per day, every day, starting on Memorial Day (Monday, 5/28) and ending on Independence Day (Wednesday, 7/4).

That's 38 consecutive days of running.

Sounds fantastic.

So. Anyone in?

Have a great weekend!

Hidden Treasure

Yesterday afternoon I met one of my girlfriends for lunch and a quick stop at Marshall's/TJMaxx...you know, since we were in the neighborhood. I didn't plan on buying anything, but ya'll, I had one of those moments where I saw something and angels sang and there was a soft glow of light surrounding my soon to be purchase and I knew it had to be mine.

My new love

$299 dollars later this beauty was in the back of my car and headed to it's new home, in the corner of our guest room.

This is where she will live, quietly, until D finds her...because I'm not going to show him until he figures it out himself. Sometimes it's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission, right? :)

It's been a day and he hasn't said anything, even though he has to walk by the guest room to get to his "man room" - aka, the extra space where he keeps his Army memorabilia and clothes so he can wake up super early for PT and get ready without waking the rest of the house. Wonder how long it will take him to figure out? We have about 6 weeks until the move, so we will see!

Our poor guest room leaves a lot to be desired, but it's coming along slowly. Obviously not a priority space right now. I have plans for a simple headboard, possibly spraying those lamps a lighter, more creamy color, and really just making it a calming neutral space. The duvet and shams are a little out of my comfort zone, but I think I can tone them down with the rest of the space and turn it into an inviting room for our guests. None of these changes will happen before we are in the new house, so don't get excited.

For now, my pretty chair is a small step in the direction I want to take the room.

So.

Do you think I'm awful for not fessing up to D? (He really isn't going to flip out or anything...I just think it's funny.)

Have you ever hid a purchase from a significant other, because you knew they wouldn't be as into it as you were?

I'm 100% satisfied with my buy. No remorse! I've gone into the guest room to gaze at it no less than 10 times since yesterday afternoon. It's my hidden treasure. ;)

Prego Brain

Let's first begin with, "No. I am not pregnant." You should have picked that up based on yesterday's TMI mention of Aunt Flow.

Pregnancy Brain — What It Is
Pregnancy-induced brain fog, a true (and truly frustrating) hallmark of pregnancy. You may forget appointments, what you just walked into the store for, where you left your purse, whether you turned off the stove — and maybe, your phone number. (via Whattoexpect.com)

I'll be the first to admit that I have always had "dumb blonde moments", but I think the frequency of these gaffs has definitely picked up since being pregnant...and contrary to what What to Expect says, ("Not to worry, your brain will plump back up a few months after delivery.") my brain has not "plumped back up".

Lies, I tell you.

I'm pretty sure prego brain has never left me. I have numerous examples of all the dumb things I forget and can't even count the number of times I have had to run back into the house to check the stove or straightening iron, but this most recent example takes the cake.

[Rewind to Tuesday morning]

It's time to take Grace to daycare and I'm running around like a crazy trying to corral her and help her put her 6 BFFs of the day (RaRa the Bear, Kitty, Minnie, Daisy, Goofy and Donald) into the diaper bag. We are headed towards the door...I have her shoes and blanket and sippy...we are golden- until I realize I can't find my keys. Anywhere. I sing songs and dance and act generally ridiculous to entertain her while I run around searching. Finally after about 10 minutes a light goes off in my head and we make our way to the door, outside, and to the car...where I find my keys...

in the ignition. From the previous evening. (Slaps forehead)

Paleo Challenge Update

Well ladies and gents, it is the final week of the Paleo Challenge! It is also period week (sorry for the TMI), so that should make measurements interesting. I may wait until after the weekend to do a final weigh in and all that jazz.

I will say this. Even though I'm bloated and feel gross, the scale was my pal this morning AND a pair of J.Crew shorts that I bought earlier this Spring in a size 4 that used to be tight slid on like a glove.

WIN.

I wish I had taken a before pic because I'm pretty darn proud given how bad they looked when I first tried them on. I would have posted it after lunch time as to not nauseate anyone. Ha!

Cute anchors. Preppy/Nautical love.

P.S. When is it not age appropro to wear short shorts anymore?

In other unrelated, but sort of Paleo Challenge news, I have to endorse my favorite treat: So Delicious Dairy Free Ice Cream! It is made with coconut milk, tastes fantastic, and is basically how I will make it through the next few days. Specificially with it's German Chocolate flavor. Holy goodness, it is to die for. My lactose intorelant homies should try it too...no tummy aches, promise.

Hope you all are having a great week! I'm finding it challenging to focus on anything other than heading out of town again this Thursday. Can you tell? ;)

20 months

I have a 20 month old today. 4 months from being a 2 year old. Hold me.

We are completely in the midst of toddlerhood. On one hand, it has been so much fun to see all of the things that Grace has started to pick up on. She learns something new everyday and it makes us so proud to watch her grow. On the other hand...she is still learning how to express her feelings and let us know what she wants, which can be frustrating stuff (for all parties involved) and often leads to meltdowns of epic proportion. In toddlerworld, everything is dramatic. It's sort of like dealing with a teenager in a teeny, tiny body.

Hurricane Grace

The fun stuff:

We are starting to learn colors. Right now Grace has mastered Blue and Purple, which is her favorite. Just yesterday, unprompted, she pointed to my shirt and let me know that it was purple, which was correct. :) She has started to really embrace music and enjoys dancing. Several nights a week she will grab me by the hand, pull me into the living room and try to start a dance party. Unfortunately, she learned all her moves from me...so there is a lot of jazz hands and booty bouncing. It's awkward.

Speaking of leading by the hand, that is what we do a lot of these days. If Grace wants something, rather than tell you, she will grab your hand and show you. We walk to the pantry all the time. Girl likes her food. She is 100% on a sippy cup, which she fondly calls ba-ba and refuses milk most of the time, so we make sure she gets a lot of calcium through the food she is eating, which is also pretty much anything we offer. She's not a picky one (other than the milk thing).

Grace knows many words, but is very stubborn with using them. She babbles all the time, as if she is telling us long, drawn out stories with huge hand gestures, but basically none of it is in English. She is getting better at talking and we try to make her ask for what she wants rather than point and go "mm-hmm" for yes. We also try go enforce manners, like asking please and saying thank you. It's been a rough go of it, but we will get there.

Potty training has stalled. I'm letting her call the shots and she is just not interested right now. I plan on getting more serious about it after the move when things settle down.

She is super loving and gets very attached to certain toys and stuffed animals. She will insist on taking them everywhere with her and even kiss them before bed as we are tucking her in. Grace loves to pat her little "babies" on the back and share her sippy with them. It's very sweet. She is also the biggest hugger with her daddy and I. There is seriously nothing in the world better than getting a big hug from that little girl, complete with her squeezing us tight. Love it.

These are both named "RaRa"
All bears are. Know why?
Because they say "RAWR, RAWR"

The not so fun stuff:

Oh tantrums, how ridiculous you are. We are definitely in the stage where one gets thrown if Grace doesn't get what she wants. This consists of throwing herself on the ground or throwing her toys...basically a lot of throwing. They last for less than a minute and we ignore or timeout until she calms down. Our family rule is: Use your words. Also, "whining is an automatic no". Haha...wonder where I picked that up from? Sounds so familiar. Mom? She also knows "timeout" and walks to the stairs and sits on the bottom one. We try not to giggle because it is pretty darn cute.

Luckily, tantrums are pretty short lived and Grace is generally a pretty happy go lucky little girl.

The Stats:

Diaper- Size 5

Clothes- 2T

Shoes- 6

Height- 34" (?)

Weight- 28lbs (?)

I have got to get some good pictures taken, and luckily I have a sweet friend who has a photography business and plan to get some family shots done soon. More to come. :)

All in all, this past month has been lots of fun, with some trying moments sprinkled in here and there. That's just the truth as far as parenting goes. It's not always rainbows and butterflies, but it is definately a sweet gig and I am so thankful to be Grace's mother.

Favorite Things- May Edition

I haven't done one of these is awhile. Now that I have tunes from The Sound of Music stuck in your head (or is that just me?), here are some things that are on my radar this month!

When Samantha came to visit last month, she came baring amazing gifts. Full size Chanel perfume for me and cologne for D. She does event planning and Chanel had donated boxes full as gifts for a gala that she recently put on. We scored some extras (holler) and they have quickly become D and my favorite scents. We feel fancy and confession...sometimes I spray some on before bed because that's how much I like to smell it.

This sparkling water also makes me feel fancy. (Theme this month?) There are several flavors, but my top two are lime and coconut- which tastes like a beach in your mouth- in a good way. Also, it's sweetner, calorie, and sodium free! WIN.

Stripes by hmmorgan1 featuring j crew dresses

I can't stop buying stripes. Don't tell D, but I own 4 out of 5 of the dresses in the above set...and the last one is on my wishlist (and on sale). Striped clothing is definitely one of my favorites this month.

Here goes all my street cred (HA), but I have Bieber fever. Ok, not really. But I keep catching myself scanning the channels on the radio for his new song Boyfriend, which isn't too hard to find when Radio Disney is one of your preset stations. Another street cred point, GONE. I promise I'm still sort of cool...

Sugar lip balm. I found this one at Sephora in December and recently re-found it at the bottom of one of my mom bags and started using it again. LOVE it and actually need to restock. I remember it being a little pricey (I mean, c'mon, it's chapstick), but worth it.

Any thing you all are loving this month?

H

We bought what?!

Want to know the easiest way to piss off your husband/significant other?

Wake them up in the middle of the night by saying, "We made a mistake!", hours after signing papers to lock yourself into buying a home. Apparently you are supposed to play devils advocate prior to signing on the dotted line...

Strawberries and cheap champagne

I'm so easy to be married to.

But really, things are great...I just like to second guess big decisions and stress that poor man out so much. We are very excited and looking forward to checking out our place again over Memorial Day weekend to make some decisions.



Grace in our backyard...probably wondering
why it's not as green as our neighbors.
Wait, that's me.

I can't wait to make plans for paint and decorating and I'm sure I'll share plenty of pictures along the way. For now, you can find me on:

 

xo,
H

P.S. With all the house excitement, I dropped the ball on signing up for the Army 10 Miler- which sold out in about 8 hours. If you or anyone you know has an extra entry, help a sista out! Thanks.

Back from Savannah

...and oh so depressed! You guys, we LOVED everything about our visit this weekend. It rocked our worlds- except for maybe Grace, who was dragged along from house to house and had an awkward number of head bumping incidents between the houses and realtor's office. Poor little girl. She made it though and behaved surprisingly well given everything she was put through!

On the road

The details. We found a house. Made an offer. And are waiting for a counter offer this morning. We have a couple non-negotiable things that we need to happen and if they don't? We were lucky enough to find a second house that we would be happy in as well. I feel like such a big kid with big decisions like this. It's no wonder my face looks like a 14 year old in the throes of puberty...the stress of it all doesn't so much affect my attitude as it does my skin. Very niceeee.

Especially since we got to meet a blog friend in person on Saturday night! We made our way over to Madeline's house after our day of house hunting on Saturday and met her, her husband, and of course, sweet Emmie. They are all wonderful and I think we knew immediately that the night was going to go well. Madeline and I already knew that we have a ton in common and I'd threatened D into being on his best behavior. Turns out I didn't even need to...he and Chris got along great and Maddie and I already have plans to make them have man time/watch the girls while we go get our shop on. We made our way down to Savannah to an amazing pizza place where we got to people watch and check out some of the surrounding shops. We wrapped up with gelato and went our separate ways...so excited to get to July and live literally 2 minutes apart.

I see a lot of fun group hangouts in our future. :)

Mother's Day got off to an exciting start with us wrapping up our offer after sleeping on it Saturday night. We celebrated by stalking our potential house for the last time and going to Fish Tales for lunch. It was an adorable little hole in the wall located right on the water on Fort McAllister Marina. I got the crab cake sandwich, D went with fish tacos, and Miss G enjoyed some popcorn shrimp. All of it was out of this world good. I forgot how much better seafood is when you get it fresh and it is definitely on our list of places to take visitors.

We made our way back to Columbus (its almost exactly a 4 hour drive) and back to reality and now it's just waiting to hear about the house...which I just got word should happen in the next 30 minutes.

Gotta run! Lot's more to come.

Early Mother's Day Treats

So, Mother's Day is this Sunday.

Now that I'm a mother, I totally have a greater sense of appreciation for this holiday. Mother's deserve more than just a day to be celebrated...but if Hallmark says I get to take it easy this Sunday and revel in the love of my appreciative husband and child, then damnit, I'll just have to do it. ;)

This weekend we will be out of town doing a little house hunting, scoping out the new post, and meeting a blog friend for the first time. SO excited for it all! I have a feeling everything is going to go wonderfully and it will be so nice to arrive at Ft. Stewart and already have a friend. Army wives have to be proactive, yo.

Any who. Since we won't be home and my husband can't hold out on surprises I got my gift early. D and Grace presented me with a gift certificate for a spa package that includes a mani/pedi, facial, massage, and time in a sauna (kinda weird). Not only that...they booked it for me, so I officially have an appointment the following weekend and 3+ hours of time to RELAX. I'm just a looking forward to it a little bit. So thoughtful! Thanks, boo.

Surprise 2. 

Mid March we were all playing outside and I was taking a picture of Grace with my iPhone when Major (ughhh) ran into me and caused the accident of all accidents.

Behold:

Official Crime Scene Photo

I'll admit. It wasn't Major's fault later that week when I put the phone on top of the car while getting Grace out and caused it to fly ALL the way down our asphalt driveway. That one was all me. I've lived with it for the last few months because I'm the girl who doesn't pay for phone insurance, but when we were out running some errands this week, D suggested I look into fixing it so I stop embarrassing us with my ghetto iPhone. Umm, yeah. About that. It's $600+ to buy a new phone from AT&T without a new contract or upgrade so I was ready to switch back to my sad 3GS when they looked at our account and saw that D was eligible for an upgrade and I could take it instead.

Is it sad at how dependant we all are on technology when my heart exploded with love/joy/adoration when the hubs said I could take his upgrade?! What a sweet, sweet man. Love ya, babe. You are just earning points all over the place this week!

Not sure where this post is going, but I'm happy to report I'm now rocking a non-ghetto phone and subsequently bought insurance and a case. I'm back in business. Also, go take care of your mothers this weekend. They deserve it, if not only for dealing with you at age 19 months. Trust me, it's been a doozy. ;)

Paleo Challenge - Halfway!

I'm 3 weeks into the 6 week Paleo Challenge with my CrossFit group, so I thought I'd drop in with some details.

The Workouts

I continue to go to CrossFit 4 days a week. The WODs have been pretty intense and I've decided that I prefer cardio based workouts over heavy weight lifting. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to see improvement in what I can do...but I like sweaty, fast paced WODs so workouts like this one from yesterday have been moving up on my list of favorites.

See my time under 16:00 (that's 4pm for you non-Military peeps ;)
The yellow was modified counts for newcomers.  

I've also been trying to run 3-4 days a week. Some quickie 2 milers on the treadmill if it is also a day I have CrossFit and 5K-4 milers on off days. I also have been taking at least one day completely off a week. This is mostly because I have SUCH a hard time getting motivated on the weekends- you know, the days I have more time to schedule it in. Oh well. I figure I get points for chasing my baby around Sam's Club, right?

The Meal Plan

Eating Paleo during the week is easy. It makes me feel energized, less bloated, and I love meal planning. Full disclosure? I haven't been great on the weekends. Not bad by any means, but like I was explaining to one of my friends who does XFit/Paleo yesterday (Hey, Kara!), I feel like I take 2 steps forward every week and one back on the weekend. Cheating combined with skipping workouts isn't a great combo. Let's focus on the positive- here's a basic day of paleo eating during the week!

Breakfast- Coffee
                  Oatless Oatmeal with a spoonful of almond butter or topped with fruit
                  -or-
                  2 eggs with 2-3 slices turkey bacon and avocado

Snack- Apple or baby carrots or almonds
 
Lunch- Ginormo salad topped with rotisserie chicken and all the veggies I can find

Snack- Smoothie: Handful of spinach, scoop of protein powder, frozen strawberries, half a banana, and almond milk.

Dinner- Protein (Chicken, Fish, or something with ground Turkey) side of veggies, and sweet potato or grain.

This is just an idea. Things change and adjust day by day. I need treats in my life, so I have dark chocolate or dairy-free coconut ice cream sometimes a lot. I'm not a stickler when it comes to the paleo thing, but I like how I feel when I eat using it's basic principles.

The Results

So far, so good! I've been getting on the scale less and won't take measurements until the end of the challenge, but I think I'm probably down a couple of pounds. We have a beach trip planned for Memorial Day weekend and as of now, the thought of getting in a two-piece is not horrifying, so I have that going for me. I'm pretty happy with how things look. For now, it's motivation to continue half-assing this challenge and to try and get better about my weekend workouts and food choices. ("Step away from the Cheez-It's, Heather. Those are for Grace...")

In conclusion: I am not a bad ass who can make it through a 6 week challenge by depriving myself of certain things. I'm a bad ass who really enjoys her food and enjoys working up a sweat too. :)

H

Weekend Recap

Well hello there, friends. :)
I'm running a little behind today thanks to a certain someone who chose to wake up at 4:45 this morning. We had plenty of snuggle time until about 6:30 when it was time to get up and at 'em, but unfortunately no one went back to sleep.

Apparently until she arrived at daycare. Well played, Grace. Well played.

Aside from earlier than normal wake times (seriously, what gives?!), we had a great little weeked. Some plans got pushed aside, but we made up for it by doing things low key and close to home...and we literally had "family naps", something that hasn't happened in forever. I'm pretty sure D and I were asleep before Grace both days, as well. Ha!

Even the dogs got in on family nap time.

My weekly workouts at a glance:

Monday: XFit
Tuesday: Run/XFit
Wednesday: Run/XFit
Thursday: Run
Friday: XFit

I'll fill you all in on how the Paleo Challenge is going tomorrow...it's been 3 weeks already!

Here's to a quick and productive week. Lots going on, which is about our standard. Hope you all are off to a great one, too!

xo,
H

Ole!

Happy Friday!

I'm in an extra good mood today because not only is it the start of the weekend, but also the precurser to one of my favorite holidays of the year, Cinco de Mayo. (Which is only trumped by July 4th, IMO.) I tried to explain to D that it was a celebration of "my people", but he didn't buy it. Fortunately he supports queso blanco and margs, so he's always down to run with the festivities.

I plan on rockin' it through the workday, getting in a run and XFit session and then having a relaxing evening with my fave peeps. We have some fun weekend activities planned like checking out an outdoor market, heading to Calloway Gardens, park dates (of course), and gearing up for our Savannah trips. (Can't come soon enough!)

Hope you all have a nice weekend! Ole! ;)

Workout Woes

Ever have a workout that just leaves you feeling...defeated?

Ugh.

It doesn't happen to me much, I usually feel like a can conquer the world after a good sweat sesh, but everyone once in awhile I basically get my a** handed to me and am just drained.

Take yesterday for example:

WOD

3 RFT (rounds for time)

21 Thrusters
21 Wall balls

3 RFT

7 Dead lifts
7 Pull ups

2 RFT (THANK GOD)

28 Burpees
28 Toes to Bar

------------------------------------------------------

It was rough, ya'll. I kind of hate thrusters with a passion and the weight we were using yesterday was heavy. I had one of those moments during the second round where I seriously wanted to say "screw this" and quit. (Don't get me started on quitting...can't stand it.) Anyways. I finished the WOD, it wasn't pretty, and I was probably a little dehydrated going in which didn't help. But I felt terrible after I was done. Like, bad enough that I had to take a moment to sit down and hydrate before driving home and my head started throbbing (does this ever happen to anyone?).

Total mizfest.

I came home and got on with life. You basically have to put on a happy face when a rambunctious 19 month old comes barreling towards the door yelling "Mama!!", excited to see you.

Today, I feel like I got hit by a bus. But the best medicine is going to be to keep moving, so I substituted a lunch time date with the treadmill for a Target run (haha) and will be back at Crossfit this afternoon. I need a good WOD to get back on track and a long talk with my foam roller so that I can make it down the stairs without looking like I'm 90 years old tomorrow.

Here's to getting back on the wagon and moving forward! What is your least favorite workout to do? Do you still incorporate it into your routine or skip it?! :)

H

Just truckin' along

Yesterday was one of those super, awesome, productive days, where I felt like a rockstar/supermom and totally gave myself a pat on the back at the end of the day.

• Refrigerator- Organized
• Energy Balls for D- Made
• Memorial Day Vacay- 90% booked
• New School/Daycare for Grace- Contacted and walk through scheduled
• House hunting date with realtor- Scheduled
• Lunch time run- Accomplished
• Afternoon Crossfit- Done
• Dinner- Made

...and then today began with so much more to do that I'm back at square one. It's fine though, I like my week's busy and weekend's lazy, so I'll take it.

We are just trucking along here for most of May and with the exception of a visit to Fort Stewart to check things out mid-month and plans to see Tybee Island for Memorial Day weekend. D continues to do well in the Captain's Career Course, Grace is exploding with more personality with every passing day, and I'm content with work (which will transfer with me to Savannah when we move).

Life is so good.

Especially when your boss wears silly sunglasses to work.

I keep thinking up captions for this picture, ranging from "Only YOU can prevent forest fires!" to D saying "Gimme me my money, Brian!" in the Stewie voice from Family Guy. New favorite photo fo' sho. :)

Hope everyone is having a great week!
