Miss Taylor before church.

"Mommy, do you have the diaper bag? OK, good. Do you have your purse? OK, good. Do you have your keys? OK, good. We're ready to go!"

{cracks me up, she knows how I forget things}

I always let the kids pick out their socks in the morning. Some mornings Luke lets Taylor pick his out for him. Once Taylor even let Luke pick hers out AND she stuck with what he picked which surprised me. Yesterday morning Taylor picked out a pair that didn't so much match in my opinion and since we were going to church I tried to sway her decision, saying that they didn't match as well as another pair. She looked at me with the pair she chose in her hand and said, "Trust me Mommy, these match." Seriously at 2?
