Today we had lunch at Cracker Barrel after church. For us, this means leaving with several to go boxes and a shopping bag since the back clearance corner at Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite places of all. On the way out, John carried Lydia and I carried all of the loot. I also held Hannah's hand. She was in rare form, pointing out all of the silly things we passed while she sucked on her 15 cent cotton candy stick. When it was time for her to get in the car, I held her candy and her chocolate milk and the bag with the food and fabulous clearance finds. And I tried to buckle her in. It was a slow & mostly futile effort. I looked over at John, who had already strapped Lydia in and was finding time to coo at her while I fumbled with the straps, and held out the milk & candy for him to take while I told him, "You know, this would be easier if I had another hand..."
To which Hannah replied, "Yeah... like a spider, or an octopus."
