- Piggies + BIRDS! -

When all you want is pigtail braids like your big sisters, and you realize you DO actually have enough hair to have them.....

Here's to having ALL the heart-eye emojis for the baby of the family! She has stolen all of our hearts and will probably never give them back! ;) :)

But! All the girls -- even old, boring Mom -- donned their best piggie braids for a family field trip to the Cardinals game!  Daddy scored all-inclusive tickets from work, which is always a win, win, WINNING situation for all...

...and even the Cardinals gave us a winner!  Only part that wasn't winning?  ...Chasing Juliette up and down and up and all around the concrete steps then all through the indoor food stations until one of us just gave up on watching the game and dranking all the free beers to focus on following around our feral child.  J to the K. But for real.

All three kids were thrilled with the unlimited ["free!"] food and drinks -- hot dogs, loaded nachos, cookies, popcorn, and fountain Sprites were of no shortage throughout the day! And the big kids were quite excited about the fireworks at the end of the game [we usually don't make it to the end when we take them!], although Scarlett -- daughter of her Firework King father -- said, "Well, 'dat wasn't 'DAT many fiya-woks!"

All in all, our days was A WIN!   

Let's go, Cards!!!
