I Spy With My Little Eye...

How often do you get to say "MOOSE"?! I was driving to work today, all in a hurry, like usual. We were playing "I Spy" and I saw a long line of cars on the side of the road. Now, I don't exactly live in the sticks, we don't get to see a moose very often. I thought for sure there must of been a car accident and the line of cars and gawking people were all just standing around staring at the horrific wreckage of a major crash. Morbid, I know. But no, there in the field stood a moose, he was a big 'un! Even though I really needed to get to work, I pulled off on the shoulder and whipped Lucas out of his car seat so that we could get a good look. As luck would have it, I also had my camera, and we got a great shot! Something to scrapbook, even...if I could ever find time to do it. I think the last time I was this close to a real moose it was walking around the grocery store parking lot in the town that I grew up in, and the whole town came out to see it.

Also because I was rushing around...I left my lunch and my wallet on the kitchen counter when I ran out the door. And since I'm working until 3am, the thought of no dinner and no munchies was a real bummer. Soooo, I called my Mom (like a ten-year-old)and told her I forgot my lunch and do you know what she did?? Packed me a yummy dinner and she and Lucas brought it all the way up here and we had dinner together on the picnic tables out front.

Best. Mom. Ever.
