Today I took my camera and my kids, got in the car and took some back country roads to find some neat spots to take pictures this week during my shoot I have scheduled and I figured while I was at it, I'd take some pictures of Emma. She was lookin super adorable, so we took advantage. I found a really cool field and an even cooler old, dilapidated house to take pictures at.
The house really creeped Emma out. The windows were all busted out and one good hurricane force wind would probably come close to knocking it down. I'm in love with it, though. You'll definitely be seeing more of it in the future. If you'd like to see the pics, go here. Comments will be greatly appreciated. :)
Then I made the trek out to Barnes & Noble to look for a great guide to my new camera, which I found. So, I'll be immersing myself in that tonight and tomorrow in preparation for the grand arrival on Monday.
While at B&N, we had to go to the children's department, because Emma loves it ( I love it too! It's so magical) and she darted directly to the play area where they have a big Thomas the Train table set up. She and another little girl started playing so sweetly, Noah was drinking his juice, and I was browsing through my new treasure when this old, greasy lady came and plopped down in the chair across from me. She immediately started making all these comments to me and the other lady there about our children and asking us questions. The other little girl was so adorable, with her hair in cornrows with beads at the end and that lady starts asking the mother, "How long does it take you to do her hair like that? Does she sleep okay at night? It doesn't hurt her head?" And the questioning continued until the one lady got really irritated and got the heck outta there with her kid. Then it was my turn, "She sure does have long hair. Does she get headaches? You know long hair can cause horrible headaches for little children.." And my attitude started creeping to the surface, so I just bulged my eyes a little in amazement at this woman's crap comments, and I guess she got the hint, because she quit a little.
Then, Emma started asking me questions and the lady started ANSWERING HER!!! OMG.. she was asking me questions and this lady wouldn't even let me talk to my own kid. So, Emma got a little freaked out, came to me, held my leg and we got the heck outta there.
Strange people totally freak me out.

I told ya, people are getting weirder and weirder!!! They know NO boundaries!!! At least you got what you went for!! We have to look at the bright side..hehe
Some people just don't know when to mind their own business. Lol. I wouldn't have waited around for her to ask me questions, I would have left with the other lady & played like we were going to the same place!! Lmao
I don't know what it is lately....(maybe its my pregnancy), but I really don't like people lately. How come they just be so rude?!?! Perfect strangers?!?! You feel like asking them stupid personal questions back like...."did you look in the mirror today before you left your house"?
That is so uncomfortable! I hate it when strangers do that. It's so weird, because I wouldn't make those comments to a friend... much less a stranger. I don't like it when they compliment my children excessively. That makes me uncomfortable, I can only say thank you so many times before I just want to walk away. I guess it is probably worse when they start questioning your parenting skills and they don't even know you.
Cornrows huh? I got one for you too about those. My family & I were at a soccer game Saturday talking to people we know. Out of the blue one of them asked my son that is 10, why are you growing your hair into an afro. I thought he was just playing with him at first, then he went onto say you need to cut that mess. I started listening a little closer to see where he was going with it. My son said well my aunt thought it would be a good idea to try cornrows. The guy said well I think that is just a stupid idea and you shouldn't go around looking ridiculous. I at this point was about to speak my mind when my 10 year old son now, stepped up and said. Well, my mom & dad aren't to sure of it either, but they did tell me it was important to be who I am or atleast at 10 start finding that out, so if getting cornrows is a part of that then atleast I'm doing myself justice by not worring what other people think. I was speechless to say the least. It's crazy you always think you have to protect your kids from everything, and then they surprise you with how much they're growing. ( ok I'm sorry I it's so long, i couldn't sum it up any better.)
Ahhh, I hate when people start talking to you and assume you are as intrested in them as they are in you. There is no way to get away from them when they start...just gotta be rude sometimes. It's cool to be social with people she seems too social and too much in your business...creepy
thats really scary and freaky. i can almost SEE the grease dripping off of her. yuck. i'm really rude and i probably would have said something to her to make her shutup. ur way too nice. my kids like to make ppl feel stupid when they talk to them which is usually embarrassing but in this case would have been perfect. *shiver*
whoa!! a little strange! Kids have a good sense about people too....poor Emma yikes!
