Two funny things happened today and I thought I would share them.

This afternoon, Samantha and Christopher were climbing all over me. For
some reason they enjoy playing "ride the Mommy". I was wearing a pair
of gym shorts, the kind that have a tie to stay on. I was down on all
fours and Samantha was sitting up on top of my back. When Christopher
came a running to climb on, too, he grabbed hold of the waistband of my
shorts in order to pull himself up behind Samantha. Imagine his
surprise (and mine!) when the shorts came right off! He sat down on the
floor behind me with an astonished look on his face still holding
tightly to my waistband. Samantha and I both laughed and laughed and
eventually Christopher decided it was funny and joined in. And yes, I
did make sure that I got my shorts tied properly when we started playing
again!

This evening, Stephen volunteered to go to the grocery store by himself
with both kids. We were out of everything, so I gave him a three page
list. (You know that I will never let this man get away!!) When he
got home, he said that he let the kids pick out a few things ... and one
of them was bubble bath. Christopher picked out Tigger bubble bath, and
Samantha picked out Arthur bubble bath. Then, he told them that they
could only have one bottle ... so Christopher pulled the Arthur bottle
out of Samantha's hand and placed it back on the shelf so smoothly and
quickly that Stephen and Samantha both laughed. Christopher can be
sooooo charming!

Broken arm and school update: Samantha is scheduled to get her cast off
this Friday, the 17th at 9:00 am. We will find out who her teacher is
on Monday, the 20th at 6:30 pm. Her school starts on Wednesday, the
22nd at 8:00 am. Her friends that are in public school started either
yesterday or today. I think that she is starting to get the first grade
jitters.

Have a nice day!
