My Favorite Piece of Literature

I'm attending a baby shower for my cousin-in-law in October, which includes tea at The Brown Palace (where Eric and I stayed for our honeymoon). I'm excited for this fancy adventure. For this shower, the attendees are asked to give their favorite children books. Cute idea. Well, it took my about a nanosecond to figure out what I was going to pick:
Bugs Bunny; Too Many Carrots

My parents have reminded me often through the years about my love for this book. I loved it so much they had to hide it from me so they didn't get sick of too many carrots or reading to their perfectly delightful little daughter. I imagine that my crafty little self was successfully able to recover the missing property, because I don't recall this book ever missing.

A quick search on Amazon yielded the prize book. I bought two. One for the shower and one for future Brusvens. How could I not pass along this great read?

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Eric and I enjoyed attending the Rockies game last night. The Rockies are still in the hunt for a wild-card spot, so every win is necessary right now. My principal set up the outing by purchasing a block of tickets for $10 a piece. There were about 30 from Chatfield (teachers plus families). The seats were in the upper deck, but the view wasn't too bad. I've done worse.


My friend Annessa and her husband Chuck, sons Dylan and Andrew:


The bummer part of the evening was when we returned to Eric's Jeep and found that it wouldn't start. We called AAA (thanks to Eric's parents for continuing to pay his fees) and they sent someone to take a look at it. In the mean time, some other fans returned to their vehicle in the almost empty parking garage and gave us a jump. We cancelled the AAA help. Luckily the battery lasted long enough to get us home. As soon as Eric turned off his car the battery was immediately dead again. He spent most of this morning and early afternoon taking out the old battery, hauling it to Sears, and installing a new battery. All is well again. I think it's time to transfer Eric's AAA subscription to Colorado and sign me up for an account as well.
