Well alrighty then

Since my kids were traumatized yesterday by the tragic and not so pretty death of the fish Daniel was allowed to bring home from school (Goldybones), I was trying to think of ways to lighten their little days. I asked Ted to get some more fish (at a quarter a pop, let's balance the scales with MORE) and he did... Four... Then Daniel wanted his friend to spend the night... not my first choice, but I said AOK..

This morning, I fixed waffles. They LOVE waffles... with peanut butter... cause they are cool like that. Filled their little bellies full of the yummalicious waffles and peanut butter.

Then I thought it would be a good day to watch ET together. A little throwback from my days as a young person, in the land before electricity. I gathered together on the couch with the cretons and Daniel was the first to speak up...about fifteen minutes in.... " I think I am going to throw up.." He clearly understood what it was going to take to be excused from this family together time... About ten minutes later, Aurelia took her cue and announced that she may toss cookies.... I started to catch on... I said you'll be alright... To which she responded... can't I just play on your Ipod? This movie is BORING....

See if I try to mend their little hearts again... ingrates! :0)
