A day out with Sean and Marissa...

Today I took Sean and Marissa with me to do errands. We left out this morning and our first stop was at a donut café. They each got a powdered donut and a glazed one. Well lets just say they were wearing the powder. There were several funnies of the day. Some of course were a “had to be there” thing but I’ll share some.

Marissa was reaching back to Sean to get a movie from him and she somehow snagged it from him and said, “I’m too good to be true”!

This time Sean was in front and we were driving along and for some reason we were talking about deer and beef jerky. Sean loves it and I was telling him that I used to make deer jerky a lot. I told him I made some spicy and some not. Here is where it gets funny and just imagine him with wide eyes, goofy expression on his face, hands and arms flying and a very excited voice. He said that he don’t like spicy. I said, “Oh, I like spicy…hey, I’m spicy”! With arms waving he said, “Ahh naah”! I said, “Well, dad thinks I’m spicy”! He said, “He can think that…you’re his wife! You’re my mom! A son has a different kind of love for the mom! There are two kinds of love, wife…mom!” I absolutely cracked up! It was SO funny!

Then, the kids had said they we to a restaurant and had tacos. I thought they meant they went to a Mexican place but the area they were talking about I could not think of one in that area. So I told them to show me where it was since we were in that area. So, Sean told me to turn right…then there is a stop sign and you go diagonal across the road into a one way alley….then you turn right down another small alley for a block and you come to a road where there are several restaurants. Sean told me to turn left. I said “Sean, I did not have to go down those 2 tight alleys, I could have just turned town the main road”. He said, “I know, I just wanted to go down the alley and see if you would go where I said”. What a bugger! I had been down that alley several times before but this time was quiet funny. He pointed out the place they ate and it was NOT a Mexican place. I said, “I thought you guys said it was a Mexican place”. He said, “No, I said we had tacos”!

They are a hoot! Between their saying and facial expressions, you can’t help buy laugh! Too funny! They are my babies!

If you saw the pics of the house you saw the small pond we have. Well, we decided to put fish in it. First I must tell you that in our large pond, we have THOUSANDS of gold fish from itty bitty to very big. However, you cannot net them. It is dang near impossible. Anyway, we went to Wal-Mart and ‘bought’ fish! So we got the fish after church on Sunday, put the bag they were in into the water and after 30 minutes we set them free in the pond. (1 large gold fish and a sucker fish…well that’s not the proper name but it sucks algae so I call it the sucker fish) I also put water conditioner in the pond and it turned the pond a horrible cloudy dark color. Monday morning, we could not see the fish. We used the net and tried and tried to find it but we were just sure that something ate it. Well, tonight, we saw it in the pond. The pond is still cloudy but the fish came up to the top for the first time. Yeah….our fish is alive. I want to name it but I don’t know how to tell if it is a boy or girl!?!? Maybe we can think of a name that goes either way.

Well, that’s it for today. Now that the house is finished, maybe I will have time to back track and talk about some subjects that I mentioned in past blogs. Stay tuned…who knows what’s coming up…Could be about you!
