Shampoop and Coookies

Chet had the day off yesterday so I made the most of it and left him with the kids so I could get some errands done.

As I was giving him last minute instructions, Avery came over to me, dressed in her Snow White gown and asked me to button the back.

"Mom, can you button this?  And don't call me Snow White."  she said.
"Ok, Snow White."  I giggled.
"Hey, Snow White."  Chet added.  "Go spit in a shoe."


Snow White wasn't impressed, sending an air punch in Chet's direction.

I decided to take one kid with me and it was Tucker's turn to go so he got himself ready.  He came downstairs to tell me he was ready to go.  I told him to put his pants on the right way and turn his shirt around.  He then put on his shoes and hat.  I told him his shoes were on the wrong feet and his hat was on backwards. I don't know why he gets it wrong 100% of the time.

As we made our way through the Walmart aisles, I told Tucker that I needed to buy shampoo.

"Shampoop?"  he asked
"No, shampoo."
"Shampoop."  he said.

I picked out my shampoop and poopditioner and we headed towards the home improvement section.  Tucker looked at my list.

"Candy and toys."  he said.  "We need candy and toys."


I suppose a water filter and AA batteries can look like candy and toys.

I picked up a package of cookies in the cookie aisle and Tucker was more than happy.

"Coookies!  I wuv coookies!"  he giggled.

As we traveled over to the cereal aisle, Tucker couldn't stop thinking about those coookies.

"Ugh."  he lamented.  "Those coookies are dwiving me cwazy!"
"What do you mean?"  I asked, holding back laughter.
"I want to eat those coookies."  he said.

I laughed.

"Tucker, I could eat you."  I said.
"No, don't eat me!  Eat the pood."  he said, pointing his thumb behind him.

I could seriously eat him.  He has become a funny little kid, taking pointers from his older sister but putting his own individual spin on things.  He'll stop what he's doing during the day to come over, hug me and tell me that he loves me.  I hope he'll take care of me someday when I'm an old lady.

This morning, as I'm blogging with fatso little Milo in my lap, Avery popped her head in to let me know about the snowman we made a few days ago.

"Mom.  The snowman's eyes, nose and mouth fell off."  she said.  "So we kicked its head off."

I suppose that's one way to deal with the problem.

Real Manly, Chet

It's hard to find the time to blog these days.  I figure once life slows down a bit, I'll start taking more pictures and adding more posts.  But to those I tell that too, they ROFL.  Life doesn't slow down. Chet and I try to squeeze in as many dates as we can, as we hardly even see each other during the week.  Our date on Monday evening started out deciding on a place to eat.  I have to comply with my Weight Watcher's points and Chet is trying to put on weight. So you tell me.  Where do we eat? We ended up getting a Jimmy John's for me (I could eat half) and an Arby's meal for Chet. We were off in search of summer clothes for Chet as his previous summer wardrobe has consisted of clothes he wore to confirmation camp.  In other words, old and out of style.  As I browsed the racks at the store, I noticed something.  Had we just held onto his confo clothes, they would be in style again. His doc warned him that if he didn't start wearing a...

Summer Boredom

Summer boredom is in full-swing for the eldest child of the family.  If I had known it would be this bad, I would have enrolled her in summer school.  I've been laid up with a work injury and have been ordered to take it easy for the rest of my pregnancy so I haven't been the most fun mom to hang around these days.  I mostly give orders from the couch.    My poor children haven't been able to have the summer they had been dreaming of all winter. Like Avery said, "This is the worst summer ever!"    The few days of rain we just had made the ancient wooden door frame of the deck door expand, making the screen door close to impossible to close without slamming it shut.  Avery has been doing most of the slamming as I am mostly incapable of such behavior and one of the times she didn't see Milo on the other side, trying to get in.  His finger got slammed in the door and it swelled to Timbuktu.  Chet brought him into urgent care a few da...

Boo-Falo Days

Every year, fireworks come to town on a Friday night.  Since I work every Friday night, I only hear them rattling the windows on my resident's rooms.  Well, sometimes I peek out the blinds and see one or two go off and then reassure my resident that no sir, we are not being bombed.  It's only Buffalo Days fireworks.   We haven't ever been able to bring the kids down to the lake to watch them but who needs to when you can see them from our street corner? Chet let Avery stay up late and he brought her outside to watch them.     And of course, the carnival also comes to town, one block away.  I coughed up $20 bucks on Saturday and treated the older kids to three rides each.  The nice, toothless man allowed Piper to ride for free on this one, as long as I went with her.  And as long as I wouldn't tell anyone.  Oops.  And he said I had to sit in the back because I wouldn't fit in the front. There was a parade o...
