Asher – 7.5 years

Chancery – 5.5 years

*****************************************

Chancery: “He’s not coming, Mum!”

 

Chancery: “And I’m asking him in a nice voice and everything!”

 

Asher: “I can see him, he’s getting closer!”

 

Chancery: “There he is!”

 

Asher: “I think he’s toying with us, Chancery.”

 

Digby: “I am totally messing with their heads!”

Stuck

A few days ago I heard yelling from the front yard.  Apparently Chancery had dropped her backpack off on the front steps & decided to walk through the snow in the front yard (which thankfully is mostly gone now).  Unfortunately, with the warmer temperatures we had that day, she sank right in & couldn’t get her boot back out.  What’s a mother to do in these situations?  Run out & help immediately, or get the camera?

 

Chancery was not impressed that I opted for the latter!

Chancery: “Wouldn’t it be cool if our stuffies became real animals?”

 

Asher: “Yeah, then we’d have a cat & a koala, & a dog!”

 

Asher: “Though I’m pretty sure a real cat wouldn’t sit on my head.”

 

Chancery: “Yeah, & stuffies don’t run away either!”

Flashback Friday

I thought I’d look back at what we were up to around this time 5 years ago.  Chancery was not quite a year old, & apparently the weather was starting to get pretty nice…

Asher: “Now these certainly are SUN-day pictures, Chancery!”

 

Chancery: “That wasn’t a very good pun, Asher.”

 

Chancery: “But I know you were trying to make LIGHT of the situation.”

 

Asher: “I think we should just stop, we aren’t sounding very BRIGHT, Chancery.”

 

Chancery: “Ok, we have to GLOW now anyway!”

Asher: “Good dog, Digby!  Now, turn around for the camera!”

 

Chancery: “He likes Mummy!”

 

Hello!

 

Asher: “Come back, Digby!”

 

Chancery: “I guess we’re back to just you & me, Asher!”

 

Asher: “We ignored him, & he came back!”

 

Chancery: “He’s such a silly dog, right Asher?”

 

Asher: “He’s just really cute!”

Grocery Shopping Can Be Exciting!

Yesterday I had to take the kids grocery shopping, since we have been running low on several items, & they were not in school, so I was unable to roam the aisles alone.  I prepped the kids for the impending shopping trip, which they responded to with moans of disappointment.  I figured they were at about the end of in home entertainment & would be glad for the outing, but I was wrong.  Then I reminded them about the free cookies, & they were raring to go!

 

In the store they helped me get some produce, then begged to go see their lobster friends.  Then it was on to the bakery!  While the kids had been distracted by the lobsters I had perused the 1/2 price bakery rack, & found a box of macaroons.

 

The kids got their cookies, fought over whose torn it was to hang on the front of the cart, helped me get juice & yogurt, then Asher noticed the macaroons & exclaimed, “Oh yay!  You got those coconut things that I don’t know the name of!”

 

We ended up with 3 pretty happy shoppers at the end of it, & they also helped me put stuff away!  Maybe summer grocery shopping won’t be so bad after all!
