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...

Morning Glory

Our new morning routine consists of everyone waking up at 7:30am, me and Avery showering, everyone dressed and out the door by 8:30am.  It's a great excuse not to workout; there's just no time.  Darn.  I pile everyone in the stroller and we make our one block trek to Avery's school.  Yesterday, I walked her up to the school doors and let her walk in by herself.  I watched her walk with confidence down the hallway until she was out of sight, her empty backpack bouncing around on her back.  This morning, I walked her to the corner and let her cross the street by herself, with the help of the crossing guards of course, and watched her disappear into the crowd of kids who were getting off of the bus.   The teacher who was monitoring the crossing smiled at me and said, "She's so little."   Tell me about it, lady.  She's too little.  I found this pic as I was rifling through my camera.  I always chuckle at Piper's teet...

They'll never forget

Chet was invited to participate in a September 11 program at the high school yesterday, along with all the Buffalo firefighters, police officers and reserves. I didn't work so I thought I'd come along with the kids and cheer them on. I dropped Chet off at the doors. The kids and I sneaked in as the honor guard was marching and hollering and we found ourselves a seat in the back, next to the exit in case anyone had a meltdown. The auditorium was about half full, with most guests being middle aged. The only children that were there were all older than five and knew how to sit still for an hour without making a peep. Let me tell you, this room was silent. As the opening prayer was starting, my kids were starting to get restless. "Mom, who is that guy?" "Shhhh!" "Bow-wow!"   Tucker roofed . "Tucker! Shhh!"  I hissed. "SCREAM!"  Piper had to put her two cents in. "Bow-wow! Bow wow!"   Tucker said...
