Shane's parents are coming to visit us in about an hour and we are very excited to see them. In preparation for them coming, I've been cleaning the house. While scrubbing our kitchen floor, I hear my little Lilly going...
"Great Job Mom! Way to go!"
This last week I heard Shane casually mention that he hoped that it rained like 3 or 4 times. I was thinking...that is odd that he would wish for rain, but I never really asked why.
Last night he got his wish. It was a full-out down pouring and all the sudden I hear him rushing to get his jacket, shoes and.....car washing stuff! The light bulb turned on in my head right at that moment. If you know my Shane, you know that he loves his babies---Me, Lilly and his CAR!!!
I've never seen someone take such good care of anything. Why couldn't he take it to a car wash? Oh, well that would cost money people.
I wish I had a picture because when he came inside he was drenched from head to toe, but by gollie---he had a smile on his face that stretched up to his ears. He told me our neighbors were watching him from their window.
My honey finally got his wish....a clean car for a couple seconds. :) Talk about QUIRKY!!!
Shane went to Spokane with one of his friends today to go to a golf expo. Lilly and I got to spend the WHOLE day together. It started out rough with a very whiny child and I have to say I was skeptical about how the rest of the day would go. We ended up going to McDonald's, because it has a play land, and we bought lunch as well. My dear friend, Carrie, came with her little son, Cody and of course baby Macey. We chatted and played in a very, very busy play land. The kids were a bit overwhelmed. One little boy, about Lilly's age, randomly walked up to her and pushed her across the room. It was interesting. He tried it one more time and I told him he was being a bad boy. Carrie gave him the evil eye as well. I know you are all thinking...where was his mother??? Oh sitting with everybody else at play land not watching their children. Carrie and I were seriously some of the only moms watching our kids.
After play land we walked over to the dollar store and had another adventure. I thought I'd splurge...(I know, seriously, a dollar) and get Lilly a balloon. Well everything was great and all until she handed the balloon over with out a weight at the bottom. Seriously what was that balloon blower thinking? Probably that I only paid a dollar and that's all I deserve, but obviously they don't have kids. I tried to tie the thing to Lil's wrist so we wouldn't lose it, but oh no--NOT HAPPENING. Some serious attitude came out with yelling and screaming about how I shouldn't touch her balloon and it was HERS!!! Ok, well we get up to the register to pay and one lady in the back of the line notices I'm having issues with my child and the balloon and says...
"Mommy, tie the balloon around her wrist."
