Jace-ism

This week at FHE:
Dad Q: Who is Jesus?
Jace A: He's that guy in the sky who is so good that we have to do what he says.

The things kids say...just gotta smile!

What is it about a 2-year-old...

...that makes me want to run away to Africa and hide
...that makes me sigh out loud
...that makes me laugh
...that makes me groan
...that makes me pick a box-full of cheerios off the computer room floor
...that makes me pick up 1000 beads off the art room floor
...that makes me scrub the marker off the walls
...that cuddles oh so sweetly when she is tired
...that says more puzzles, Mommy, please!
...that makes me chase her giggling, naked self down the hall after I have dressed her for church
...that makes me ever so glad she is mine

Savings!

I have been hyper-vigilant in my couponing, and today did a competitor match at Target for Big G cereal. I bought 6 boxes of honey nut cheerios normal price 2.49. The match price was 1.88. I used 3 target coupons for $1 off 2, and 2 manuf coupons for $1 off 2. Which brought the price to .86 ea. Woohoo! High Five!

Marley and me...and tears

Wow! I don't know the last time a movie has been so emotional. Me, yeah I had a couple tears. What can I say I'm a sucker for stuff like this. Did you like it? I didn't know the kids were paying that much attention, but the kids were bawling at the end when Marley gets sick and it shows the Vet putting him down. Jace actually fainted and Lyssa was inconsolable. I guess TV is still reality to them, especially Jace. So we used this as an opportunity to answer all their questions about graves, and resurrection, and dying, and I told them about my two pets that died. And we just did a lot of cuddling, and talking, and comforting before tucking them in tonight.
