Tidbits

On the first night she was fever free, Sis still woke up in the middle of the night and, when I tucked her into bed after a trip to the bathroom, she said, "Mommy, plan something fun for tomorrow." Um, okay. So, when I was out grocery shopping the next day, remembering an earlier request to bake, I bought a bag of chocolate chips. When I got home and the babysitter left, she turned to me and said, "Mommy, we haven't done anything fun today. I said to plan something fun. What can we do for fun?" Geez. She wanted to go to the library but it was too late in the day, so I whipped out the bag of chocolate chips and held it up. She squealed, "That's fun!" and we made chocolate oatmeal bars. Fun, indeed.

In an interesting twist, Bud spent last weekend pretending that all of his stuffed critters had batteries and could talk. His shark, when the fin was touched, said, "Let's all be friends." But on Saturday morning, as we all cuddled in bed, I rubbed the fin and nothing happened. Out of batteries. So I pretended to be the shark and said, "Let's all be friends."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mama and I laughed all day; we're not even sure why. But it still makes us giggle.

The shark's batteries are working again, by the way.

Yesterday when Mama and Bud went to the new toy store to pick up another marble run set, Sis was happily splashing in the tub and didn't want to go when Mama asked. Instead she said, "Just get me one of whatever you buy him."

We're definitely in trouble.
