Sheer Randomness

Well, I almost let the pictures I posted stand in for a blog, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. A commitment is a commitment.

I started on my Monthly Meals from Family Fun. I fixed Hawaiian chicken & rice and Armadillo Potatoes (supposed to look like Armadillos to get kids to eat them, yk?). It was really yummy. It was so much different than what I normally fix (yk, meat, vegetable, starch), so it was nice to have a change. The downside of it is that I had to shop at our local grocery which was downright depressing. The prices are horrible and they have nothing organic. I love me some Wal-Mart now.

The reason I had to shop at the local grocery is as follows: Last night, Dh and I needed to go to the closest real town, which is about 60 miles away. We had to pay a credit card bill and to get a few groceries. MIL had agreed to keep the kids, sans one (Mr. Boob Attacher), so it was all good. We had a really nice ride out. Evan was asleep, the van was warm, we were listening to old country music and holding hands. Light conversation, yk? Well, I get to Sears and realize I had forgotten to get the money from the kitchen shelf! I had absolutely.no.money. I just about cried. The amazing part of the story is this: my husband laughed! He laughed! He is really exceptional. He said, "Well, at least we had a really nice ride together." I thought that was so sweet. I told him most husbands would've fussed and fussed and talked about how irresponsible that was of me to leave the money. He said it would be like him to have done something like that (leave the $$). Anyway, he had enough money with him to get ME a Mocha Frappe and us a sandwich. We preceded to have another nice ride home while the baby slept. I ended up falling asleep on Dh's arm, bless him. What a nice man I have!

Evan is 4 months old today and HE HAS A TOOTH!! It has barely broken thru the skin (on Sunday), but it is definitely there! His gums itch like crazy. It makes me think he will get about 4 or 5 teeth at one time! He is my heart right now. About 99% of the time, I could eat him to pieces!

Emory is enjoying his '5 yr old status'. Everything he does, he wants us to say something in relation to 'that's a big 5 year old doing a good job'. How funny.

Well, my nose is cold, I've got to read a chapter in my "LionBoy" book, and then it's off to bed for me.
