I had the day off today!!!! Yaaaaahhhhhh! My reward for working on Mother's Day! I dropped off the boys at school and proceeded to spend hundreds of dollars on "necessities" from Target and Fareway... ok, my purchases at Fareway were all necessary... Target on the other hand had a few not-so-necessary necessities! I mean, come on... EVERYONE needs black and white stick-on circles of various sizes that you can write on with chalk OR dry erase (I know, right?!?) to put on the wall of your choice! It WAS necessary TODAY! (I'm always trying to find new and exciting ways to keep myself and the rest of this family organized... to no avail thus far! Maybe my chalk circles will be the answer to all my organizational prayers!)
So, I picked Tyler up from preschool with the car loaded with groceries that needed to be rushed to the cool relief of the refridgerator. Tyler and I made a plan... we would get home and unload the groceries... and the trunk that was full of Target goodies (yes, the groceries had to go in the back seat, which Tyler enjoyed browsing through on the way home!)... and have a picnic outside for lunch! Tyler wanted to have it in the backyard, but there's snakes back there, and I watched something really scarey about snakes last night on TV (thanks, Matt!)... so no picnics in the backyard for this mama! Tyler's response, priceless, of course, "But it's poopy in the front!" (thanks, Bella!) He took the blanket outside all by himself and placed it in the non-poopy part of the front yard. Then he took his Woody doll and his "sweet blankie" out to enjoy the fresh humid air as well! (Funny side story real quick... Tyler told me that Grandma Sue took them to Walmart. He said so innocently, "Nicholas got a remote control car and I got a Woody!" So funny!!!!!)
We made our lunches... I had a salad and Tyler a lunchable... and carried them outside ever so carefully. I opened Tyler's lunchable and he said from the bottom of his heart, "I LOVE turkey, Mommy! Thank you!" So sweet! We started eating, and then all on his own, Tyler picked me some "flowers" and presented them to me with such pride! After he gave them to me I smelled them and said how good they smelled... Tyler, again with his sweet little voice said, "Do they smell like buttercups, Mommy?" Oh yes, Tyler! Such a sweet boy!
As if I hadn't had my fill of cute Tyler sayings, along came another one! We came inside so I could go potty yet again, and I took the closest bathroom because, as always, I REALLY had to go! Tyler came into the bathroom and said, "Mommy, you used the wrong bathroom!" I thought maybe it was because I used their bathoom instead of the master bathroom, which is MY bathroom (and Matt's, too, of course!). But I was caught completely off guard when Tyler said, "This is the MEN'S bathroom (he points to the main bathroom)... you need to use the WOMEN'S bathroom (he points to the master bathroom)!" He he he! Oh Tyler, I love our time together... so much!
Now it's naptime, and I've been convinced by the ever so convincing Tyler to watch Everyone's Hero and nap on the couch... peace! "I love you to the moon... and the stars... and the cabin!" Tyler says this to me! He must think the cabin is REALLY far away!!!! LOL!
