Monday Madness

Man today was a Monday for sure.I was having a really rough morning. I worked and the kids played with grandma Bette. They came and picked me up for lunch. We went to bajio. Jacob loves their shrimp. The owner knows how much he loves their shrimp and he gave him a huge container full of sauteed shrimp. Delicious. After we ate we were on a hunt for dance shoes for Marli. Tomorrow is her first lesson. We didn't find any in her size. I went back to work. Grandma took the kids to find shoes. She finally tracked some down. Yeah for Bette.My poor mother.

Also my poor friend Nikki. Her girls have taken dance for many years and whenever I have a question I call her. So I called her about four times today. Thanks Nikki your the best.

When grandma was trying to find shoes for Marli, Jake found a orange Shrek shirt. This kid loves orange.

OK so I have to tell you the funniest thing. We got home tonight and Marli fell asleep in the truck. Ryan carried her in and put her to bed. We were eating dinner and Jake looked Ryan in the eye and said"Dad I have to tell you something...this is the best damn sandwich". OK the thing that makes it really funny is Jake is the bad word police. If he hears anyone say anything bad he flips out. If he hears you say shut up or dang it or anything he says we don't say that and gets really upset. Ryan and I looked at each other and both about fell off of our chairs laughing. Jake goes"What I can't help it it is". He ate all his dinner and said "Mom can we have those again"? So apparently he liked his dinner. For those of you wondering exactly what it was that was so good. It was a breakfast like sandwich...it was a hamburger bun with egg,cheese,ham,and bacon. I'm glad he liked it.

Another funny thing this character said today was when I was talking to this guy and I told him not to work too hard. Jake said" Mom why did you tell that guy not to work too hard"? I told him I thought the guy was nice. Jake said" Mom if you thought he was so nice then why did you tell him not to work too hard,now he won't work hard and he'll get fired. Way to go Mom". OK please tell me that he does not think like a four year old. This kid uses his brain way too much to analyze everything.

So here is Jake in his new Shrek shirt.Ok vote please on who thinks Jake looks exactly like Brandon Bob in this picture. That is so scary. If you saw pictures of my brother Brandon when he was little if they didn't have a date on them you would swear it was Jake.

Thanks for everything today Grandma Bette. You really are our personal lifesaver.The kids had so much fun playing with grandma. She got her pool out for them and then took them to A&W for a ice cream cone. She even brought Dr. Fred a root beer float. We love you Grandma you are one of a kind.
