Garage sale, Nates 4!, & Nest Update!
OH what a exhausting but fun last four days. Our garage sale was Friday and Sat and we sold lots of stuff, but of course still have lots of stuff left. Anyone interested in a console stereo cabinet from the 1970s? how bout a buffet chest from the 1980s? ... well no one here wants it either. hum.. what to do..
Yesterday was sweet Nates 4 year birthday! I cant believe my baby is growing so fast! :(.. We had a family get together and enjoyed homemade cake and blue bell ice cream.. he was thrilled with his legos and a remote control car.. Daddy got him a little game that hooks up to the TV, plays Miss pacman, galaxia, and others from when we were little.. I am sure by now he his better at it than I am .. AH.. all those hours at the local 7-11 didn't help me much .. but it is great fun.
Cousin C is here visiting and the kids LOVE it when he is here.. they have dug a hole almost to china in the back yard (Jessica, you and Joel can just go that route instead of paying for airplane tickets :)....
This morning K, T, and K got to come over and play, The kids had a great time with them here and it was nice that finally, after all these years that cousin C got to meet friend K. They had fun playing basketball and teamed up against cousin J. The girls helped me this morning make homemade biscuits and also enjoyed dressing up and playing barbies. I enjoyed them visiting and told T that it was like a great, wonderful Surprise! (and of course it was! they are such fun kids, we just Love them!) I told K this morning I was going to start calling her little T cause she looks just like her aunt! she just laughed at me! (she does that a lot)
All this getting organized sure makes a mess.. I am ready to just throw everything out! uhg..
ok.. so now for the part you have all come to read about:
Great kid happenings:
NATO leaned over and asked me at church on Sunday... "mom, did both the bad men die on the cross too?" great question I thought for a 4 year old.
Joseph "hey mom, you know why I let my friends play my video games lots? .." NO .. why joseph" ... "Cause when they play they are sometimes better than me and it unlocks some more mini games and I get farther in the game.... plus... it is sharing,, and that is good".... (so I guess he's figured out.. why do all the work when friends can do it for him"
Nate asked on the way to church sunday: "mom are we going to get to play in the chair place today?" .. (ok.. So that means can they play hide and seek in the auditorium like they did after church on Wednesday..)
and as this time I cant think of any fun or unusual things cat has said lately, oh wait.. Here's one
At our garage sale NaNa came over and looked at our stuff.. she of course found a door hanger that said "home is where you hang your heart" .. well.. she picked it up and told cat.. "I gave this to yall so I am going to take it back... cat said.. "well.. thats fine but you have to pay for it.. this is a garage sale" .. (we thought that was pretty funny.. )
Bird Nest UPDATE:
one egg has a crack in it.. they are starting the hatching process.. HOW EXCITING!.. I am going to take pics if the mom bird doesn't attack me in the process.. so far she has been very tolerant of us.. (of course I am sure she is like.... " i will never put a nest in a hanging basket ever again in my life!") ...
Well I am off to get more organized.. and I still have to run today.. (only ran once last week... that 5k is going to kill me if I don't get my self in gear!)
