fruit snacks in bed

Hunter was whining at bedtime the other night (big shocker, I know). He was hungry and wanted a snack. I usually say no but he had practiced hard at soccer and hadn't eaten very much. I told him I would bring some fruit snacks up to him when I came upstairs.

It took me a while and when I took them up he was already asleep so I just put them on his pillow. Then the next night Scott and I were putting him to bed and he handed me the empty wrapper. I laughed and asked him when he ate them.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and was hungry so I ate them."

The good news from that is that he woke up in the middle of the night was awake long enough to eat the fruit snacks and still went back to sleep in his own bed. :)

crying

Wow. Its been a while. I guess life has been pretty boring.

Last week Scott, the kids and I were at Price Chopper. As we were leavig I checked the red Box to see if New Moon was available. It was, so I rented it. Hunter started whining that he wanted a movie. We told him no and reminded him that just the day before I had rented him one on Pay per View.

He was being a baby about it and in the can Scott said that it was my turn because Scott had gotten one a couple days before then Hunter so now it was my turn. I said "yea, now we've all gotten movies except Brooke."

Then Scott said "yea, if anyone should be crying its Brooke," the nhe looked at Brooke and said "Are you gonna cry?"

Brooke's answer????

"Not yet but I'm about to." Then she started crying. It was kinda fake tears but funny all the same.

van

Last week I had a rental car because my van was in the shop. Friday I took Brooke to my moms in the rental then went and picked up my van. I then worked all day Saturday and Saturday night. When I woke up Sunday afternoon Scott and I took Brooke and Hunter to a birthday party then went to run some errands (all in the van). We then went to eat. Brooke and I were walking out to the van after we ate and she stopped dead in her tracks.

She yelled "Mom, I didn't know you got your van back!" We had been driving around in it all afternoon and she apparently just realized it.

Scott says she gets that from me. :)

WalMart

I've been going to Walmart more because it really is cheaper. I hate it but I go to save money.

I realized tonight while Brooke and I were there that we are starting to fit in.

Brooke was wearing a pink shirt and pants that did not match and her hair had been in a pony tale but was falling out so it was very messy. You know, part of it was out of the rubber band and part of it was still in it.

Lovely.

God

Tonight Brooke and I were walking out of WalMart and out of the blue Brooke said "How come God is too busy to talk to me?" (I'm guessing the thought entered her head because she was thinking how many people in Walmart need God).

I told her God does talk to us. Sometimes we can hear him but usually he talks to us in our hearts. We argued for a couple minutes about whether or not God talks to us. Since I was getting no where and she kept saying God was too busy. I asked her what God was busy doing.

Her answer?

"Building a house for Jesus."

Not really sure how to argue w/ that. So I just asked her what she wanted God to talk to her about.

"How I can get more money" she says.

That pretty much ended the conversation.
