So here we are waiting for Cory to come home in hopefully less than two hours so we can head to Mitchell. Accalia is beyond excited about the trip, her birthday and everything going on today and tomorrow. We're bringing her presents along so that she can open them first thing in the morning. Tonight, after we're back in the hotel room from the drive in, Cory and I are decorating the room so that she can wake up to birthday pinkness everywhere.

It's a very rainy day, and the heaviest rains have been or are supposed to be just where we're going tonight. Perfect for the drive in, right? Hopefully it will be dry so that we can sit outside during the movie and not get soaked. We've survived before with being crowded in the van for an entire movie, although it's not the most pleasant experience.

I can't wait to see the chiropractor tomorrow afternoon. I'm so, so sore from having slept weird a few days ago. Accalia's complained about some spots in her back and neck, too, although stretching out with some of her fave yoga poses seemed to help that.

Now that Cole and Accalia are past the baby/toddler stage, they don't get many comments from passing strangers like Ella does. The comments that Ella receives are either regarding her curls or her size. With this humid weather, her curls are especially tight and crowded. I'd prefer the curl comments to the size comments because I certainly don't want her developing some sort of complex about her body if she continues to be the beautiful, solid girl that she is compared with the skinny minny that is Accalia.

I'm so glad I finally subscribed to Connections. I've thought about it on and off since it started up but just got around to it yesterday. Yay!
