i was hungry, so i heated up a leftover piece of pepperoni pizza. mm mmm!

i heated it up a little too much, so i sat it on the desk next to me to cool as i perused my many junk emails on the computer and also talked to chuck on the phone (who is getting my oil changed at walmart b/c that's just the kind of great guy he is). i notice some little sticky fingers out of the corner of my eye, so i turn. and my little sticky fingered girl was picking off my precious pepperonis and eating them!

so i decided to dig into my pizza before it was too late. i eat hungrily for about 1/2 through the slice. then something shiny on the computer screen distracts me, forcing me to again place my pizza back onto the plate.

coming out of my daze, i look to my pizza again for snuggly tummy comfort.... and it's gone. GONE! not meaning to seem suspicious or anything, i look to where rachel is lounging in her little girl foamy arm chair (with flames on the sides b/c she's that cool). she is laid back and relaxed, one leg reclined over a flaming side, with an almost completely devoured piece of pizza in her hand and pizza sauce all around her mouth. she then gives me a sheepish smile that communicates "well, mom, you weren't eating it...."

so yeah, we went to wade cameron's rehearsal dinner last night.

we strapped rachel into her handy little booster seat in between us. they brought her out a special plate of waffle fries and chicken tenders (plus dipping sauces, which were soon taken away... by me).

so rachel digs into her meal, plus some fruit, plus a roll, picking all kinds of stuff off of our plates too, not to mention lots of sweet tea in her little kiddy cup with a straw. everyone at the table is saying how cute she is and "oh, she must keep you on your toes."

and cue, from my daughter's mouth, the most horrendous belch you've ever heard. it wasn't one of those belches that was like "oh, that's funny and slightly embarassing" but more like "um, is she going to throw up?"

and then she threw up.

everything she had eaten.

which was a lot.

as soon as she was done, she dug right back into her bread roll again like nothing had happened. everyone at the table then stopped commenting on how beautiful and sweet she was. they just starting talking to another couple about their two dogs.
