Shopping List

Lizzy brings me a couple small pieces of paper that she has cut out.

Lizzy: Mom, can you write down what we need to buy at the store?

Me: Sure, Lizzy.

Lizzy: Can you do it now? (I'm practicing the piano.)

Me: Sure, Lizzy. (I stop, turn to the size, and take the pen.)

Lizzy: Well, can you write "ice cream?"

BAD Guys

Recently we've had a few talks with Lizzy about how peeing on the floor is unacceptable.  Yesterday she came up to me and confirmed:

"BAD guys want us to pee on the floor."

Big and Squishy

Lizzy: Jordan is getting so big and squishy!

Strawberry Sandwich

When our kids need a warning to tell them to change what they are doing, we say, "uh oh!" Then they know to make a choice or a time-out will soon follow. We learned that from Love and Logic.

Today Lizzy kept talking about a strawberry sandwich. She was going on and on and on about it. I guess she got Morgan to commit to helping her because suddenly we heard Lizzy say:

"Uh oh! You're not getting up to help me!"

Megamind

I really enjoy this movie! I laugh and laugh throughout the whole thing, even after we've seen it probably… 100 times. =) The kids were in our room watching Megamind one day, and I started to fall asleep. The kids left the room so it was just me and the movie. Even though I was trying to sleep, I could still hear the movie. I couldn't fall asleep because I kept LAUGHING at what I was hearing. My favorite character is the fish, Minion. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

BBQ

WE GOT A Barbecue!!  For Memorial Day!

We have a natural gas outlet in our back yard, but it's all rusty and it looks like it's never been used. So we could have fixed that up and bought a gas grill, but we decided it would be much better to start smaller, cost wise, especially since we've never done bbq.

So we went to Home Depot and spent 19.99 for a little bbq!! And we got some charcoal.

So Morgan and I had to figure this out since we've never done bbq by ourselves. I remember my mom doing bbq all the time.  Since Memorial Day we've done it twice and now we are pros. =) The kids call the bbq "the hot thing."

Anyways the point of my post is that I wanted to let you know the results of my "experiment." We had veggie burgers and regular hamburgers side by side on the grill.  The conclusion and bad news for our vegetarian efforts is:

Hamburgers taste much better than veggie burgers. By far.

Mailing PRO

I am a PRO at mailing stuff! I'm so glad for paypal making it easy. And I'm so glad the mail man will pick up my packages. And I'm so glad for my printer that will print the labels. HP Envy 100 has been a fabulous printer/scanner.
