OK, we've been busy... very busy. I was actually scolded by my mother the other day for not posting. Sorry Mom. We are heading to MN for our annual vacation tomorrow and I promise that I will catch up then.
In the meantime...
We live a stones throw away from an elementary school and while sitting out on our deck at night, we often hear people throwing their trash in the schools dumpsters. Really... seriously?? You only have to drive a mile to get to the public trash dumping facility. How much is it costing the tax payers for you to dump your trash in a public schools dumpster? Come on now people...
Yes, random, but that's what got us tonight.
Wish us safe travels and wi-fi at the hotel so I can update ya'll on everything that we've been up to.

Conversations with Kids
I have to admit, one of my favorite things about being a parent is getting to see the world through our kids eyes. Sometimes I have no idea where they come up with some of the stuff they say.
This morning while getting the kids ready, the conversation went like this:
Me: 'KK, come here, be a good listener and let's get you dressed.'...she actually listened for once and came over to me.
KK: 'I'm so proud of you Mommy.'
Me: (confused look)
e: 'Congratulations on being a grown-up!'
Me: (still confused look) 'Huh??'
e: 'Well, you've been alive for a really long time. I mean, they didn't even have cars when you were born.'
Me: (laughing) 'I'm not that old.'
e: 'Oh yeah, Grandma & Grandpa are pretty old... they definitely didn't have cars back then.'
After thinking a little more...
e: 'Were Grandma & Grandpa in the war?'
Me: 'What war?'
e: 'You know the one that happened a million years ago?'
---------------------------------------
On the way home today, e noticed that a lot of people were mowing our neighbors lawn.
e: 'How come a lot of people have people mowing their yards?'
Me: 'Well, some people have a lawn service to do it for them.'
e: 'How come we don't have one? Oh! We do... it's Daddy!'
----------------------------------------
We had a storm here last night with lots of wind, rain and according to KK...
'Lighbening and Blunder'. 'Can you save me from the blunder Mommy?'
----------------------------------------
Now, if I ever get any of this on video, that would be so much better. On the old note, is it still even called video anymore??
