**Disclaimer: This post has the word "poop" in it several times. If this word makes you uncomfortable, then I suggest leaving now. I need documentation of things that I can use to embarrass Cecilia to death later in life.
Yesterday, I picked Cecilia up around 3:30 from school and they informed me they hadn't made their late afternoon potty trip yet. Before leaving, I asked several times if she needed to go potty because we were headed to Hobby Lobby to pick up a gift. I got a no every time. I stay on the subject the WHOLE car ride to because I and the school know that between 3 and 3:30; Cecilia's going to need to do her business.
We arrive at Hobby Lobby and I ask again if we need to make a stop. 'Nope.' I think, maybe today just isn't a doing your business kind of day. I thought wrong.
We are in the fabric section and Cecilia gets still and has that look in her eye. I know that look. I immediately ask her if she needs to go to the bathroom. 'Nope' followed by a smile. At the smile I knew I was screwed. I get in her face so all of Hobby Lobby doesn't hear our conversation, 'Cecilia, are you pooping in your pants?' I get a smile back. At this point, I know what she is doing and know that I have no change of panties, no wipes and no pull up. FAB-U-LOUS!!!
It doesn't take Cecilia long to notice the beads of sweat on my forehead as I'm trying to figure out how to handle this situation. It also doesn't take her long to start yelling, 'I pooped. I pooped. Mom, I pooped.' For the love of Pete! I escort her to the bathroom all the while she is announcing to everyone what just happened. And here I thought my child was shy. Clearly not. We get cleaned up as best we could and make a quick exit.
I was so glad I was meeting up with Emily and Alicia that afternoon because Mama needed some dessert therapy.
We went to a place downtown called Tea Squares. It's not new to BG but it was to us. It is a cute little tea house that offers tons of different teas (obviously), a light menu and AMAZING desserts. I got the red velvet cake and took the banana cake home for Brent. They were both really good and just what I needed after my Hobby Lobby episode.

Cecilia's director at school is leaving to pursue her dream job of teaching and I wanted to do a little something for her. Hence the trip to Hobby Lobby. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so we wandered the aisle. I finally got idea when I saw they had huge unfinished wood letters. I grabbed the letter I needed, some fabric, ribbon and an embellishment.
I Mod Podged the fabric to the letter. Cut off the extra.
Hot glued the flower and ribbon on. And viola!
I thought she could use it as a door hanger.

And if things couldn't get any peachier around my house, look what I found this morning...
a coarse, grey hair front and center. I blame my Hobby Lobby experience.

Bahahaha... why didn't you share that lovely story with us over tea? :)
Emily, she probably was trying to forget the incident and didn't want to ruin yours or her dessert.
