Strawberry Applesauce

I can't believe I forgot to write about something that happened last month on Greg's birthday. I don't have any pictures to post right now (wait, I do have some soccer pics - I'll try to get those up this weekend) but I was just thinking of this incident and it was so funny. We were out at dinner at Green Mill in Lakeville for Greg's birthday and Meredith ordered spaghetti off the kids menu. When she was done eating, I told her it was supposed to come with strawberry applesauce as I reread the menu to her. When the waitreses came to refill our drinks, I asked her if she could bring out the applesauce. The waitress informed us that they don't serve applesauce anymore and they were just using the old menus until they were gone before they put the new menus out. Thinking to myself "this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of", I told Meredith that they were out of applesauce and she got very angry and started yelling and screaming in her really high pitched tantrum voice. "I WANT STRAWBERRY APPLEAUCE" She took the kids menu and pointed to it. "IT SAYS RIGHT HERE THAT YOU GET STRAWBERRY APPLESAUCE". GET ME SOME STRAWBERRY APPLESAUCE". " I AM SUPPOSED TO GET STRAWBERRY APPLESAUCE". "LOOK (pointing to the menu again)". It was both horrifying and gratifying at the same time. It was horrifying because it's not appropriate to yell at the poor waitress like that and it wasn't her fault (although she could have told us in advance that applesauce wasn't included). It was gratifying because little Meredith said exactly what I was thinking. I almost thought she was going to throw a full on trantrum but she didn't. The waitress vrought out a plate of fresh fruit instead which Mer nibbled on for a bit and thankfully she let the applesauce thing go. Thank goodness. I bet the waitress didn't expect that kind of reaction about applesauce. Maybe they will learn now to not be cheap by using old menus. I can't be the first person who has asked about the applesauce, right? Sheesh.

Big Sister!

Most of you already know this, and if you don't now you do! Meredith is going to be a big sister sometime around July 28, 2011. We found out last week that we are expecting another girl!

I have not taken any pictures of the big sister in ages so I don't have much to share. I thought instead, I'd share some pictures of the little sister!

And, since I'm officially 20 weeks along now, I'm half done. Here's my 20 week belly.
