Quirky Kids

My kids are a little funny. Okay, a lot funny. For instance: a couple nights ago we had pizza for dinner. Yes, that's all - pizza. As I set my kids at the table with their dinner, M asks: "Can we have green beans too?" ...of course I will never say no to a request like that! So - pizza and green beans. More than that, M ate all her green beans before her pizza, and asked for more...E did the same...and when we were all out of green beans they ate their pizzas.

E needed some new shoes - all he has are sandals and thin cloth ones, or some that have gotten too small. We went to payless, and I discovered he has his own opinions about his shoes. M Let me get whichever ones, the prettier the better - comfort was of little import (as it is with most women.) E, however, turned down three pairs, barely letting me get them strapped on. Two were tennishoes like these, and the other a pair of boots. Finally he settled on these and walked off with them on, completely satisfied. I think the tennishoes were too stiff and hard to walk in compared to all his summer shoes, and barefoot.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
