Wordless Wednesday

cake

Yesterday at lunch we were having some leftover cake. Aaron of course only ate the icing. I think that's typical of a lot of kids. It's my favorite part too. I was saying that maybe we would just make him icing for his birthday. This is what he said:

"mom, for my birthday I want a cake with no bottom"

And then I laughed.

Warning: reading is bad for your housework

So it turns out I enjoy reading. I used to read, a long time ago. It's not that I don't know how to read, I just find that watching the movie is faster.

Tiffany suggested a series of books. Said they were nice and fluffy and easy to read. We were at the literacy program at the library on Wednesday and she went and found the first book and forced me to sign it out. Okay, maybe she didn't force me. I took the book home and started reading. I read just over half the book that day. Thursday I finished the book. Even bought something nice and easy to make for supper so I wouldn't have to tear myself away from my book for too long. Friday I returned the book and signed out the next two in the series.

It must be my old age. That's all I can figure.

Problem with reading is that not much gets done when you're into a good book. Who wants to clean the bathroom anyway?

So if you don't read, I recommend it.

lunch time???

Jamin wanted to watch Happy Feet last night. I had never seen it before and it's actually kind of cute. We didn't watch till the very end but what I saw of the ending is a little weird. Anyway, there's this scene where the mommy penguin comes back from fishing and she meets her baby penguin for the first time. She tells the little penguin that she has something for him, and she feeds her little guy by basically burping up whatever she ate and spitting it into his mouth (I know, I'm very technical with my terminology). Jamin asks me what she's doing and I explained it to him. His response was "I'm glad you don't do that".

Me too.

silly boy

Earlier today I overheard Aaron telling Jamin:

"Let's make a sandwhich, and I'm the peanut butter"

I looked over at them and Aaron was crouched on a couch cushion while Jamin was putting another one on top of him.

I just had to share, they make me laugh!

money, money, money

Aaron: Who's money is that? (there was some change on the counter)

Me: It's mine.

Aaron: When I look at money, I want it, and I'm lookin' at it.

Oh that boy makes me laugh sometimes. He loves money and he's always finding it. We spent a few days in Fargo in July, and while we were at Target I took the boys to the bathroom. All of a sudden Aaron is crawling on the bathroom floor (gross.... I know). I told him to get up off the floor, but he said he had found money. Sure enough, 75 cents later, he got up off the floor.

Wow, I have been gone a long time!

I've been sitting here for the past 20 minutes or so just catching up on all your blogs, and may have shed a tear or two.

I really miss you guys.

I'm coming back.
