Tidbits

For months now, we have been missing the cardboard jacket for a VeggieTales VHS tape. I figured it got gnawed to death or tossed inadvertently. Well, while trying to put in a tape this afternoon, I noticed that there was a DVD in the VHS slot in the player. When I bent down to peer into the slot, I also noticed some cardboard – yes, "Rack, Shack and Benny" had been hiding out INSIDE of our VCR for months. Certainly it was a fire hazard, I would think. Just another way our boys’ three little guardian angels have been hard at work.

It seems that whenever we are in the car for more than 10 minutes, the kids all think we are on our way to Kansas City. We went to the pizza store (see post from the archives in May 2007) last night which is about 30 minutes from our house. When we pulled into the driveway that night, bawling and crying ensued as each boy strongly protested not being at Grammie and Granddad’s house and Grandma and Papa’s house. Getting those upset little boys inside for baths and bed was quite a challenge.

Overheard:
.
Joe on his breakfast order Sunday morning: “I want pancakes, mommy, but no onions on them” (Mommy: “I’ll make sure and tell the waitress”)
.
Daddy: (singing) “Life is a highway…” Patrick and Luke: “No! Don’t do that!” (Take heart, an artist is never appreciated in his own day.)
.
Mommy: (patting tummy) “Who wants to give the baby kisses?”
Joe: “Me!” Patrick: “Me!” Luke: “No!”

Scott got some ribbing at work for wearing sweater vests (see above photo from last Christmas.) For Christmas this year, his boss bought him a pink sweater vest as a joke (which, of course, Scott wore to work today.) When Joe saw the vest, he said. “Ooo, pretty vest. It's pink like mommy wears”
