Are These Kermits?
The kids slept in this morning. Aggie was the first up, just before 7. McGrooter didn't get up until 7:30. Munchkin was in bed until after 8. When McGrooter got up, Aggie ran over to him as he stood squinting and gave him a big hug saying, "I love you." When they do that on their own it's pretty special.
For breakfast we had oatmeal. Yesterday (with our cereal) we gave the girls some currants with their cereal. We explained that they were small raisins (Zante Currants). This morning when I tried to put raisins on Aggie's oatmeal, she asked me, "Are these kermits?" I said, "No, these are actually raisins." She asked me again, "are these kermits" like, "are you sure dad?" So now we no longer eat currants, we eat kermits!
After breakfast, they both politely asked to be excused. Then McGrooter came into my room and said, "that was the best oatmeal dad." Don't let a good night's sleep be overrated!
We had a crazy trip to Wal-Mart before lunch. It was cold and rainy out and there were NO kiddie carts. I let one of the managers know I wasn't real pleased about it, but I was really quite mad. They were all outside stacked neatly in the rain! I tried drying one off but no amount of paper towel would accomplish the feat. So we all packed in a normal buggy. That's always fun!
"I be gennly." That's what Aggie came in and announced with glee while preparing to go teetee on the potty. Mommy has been teaching her to open the lid/close the lid gently before and after using the potty. Later in the afternoon I walked past her while she was getting ready to wash her hands. McGrotter had left the lid open (that's another issue) and she was shutting the seat, then the lid with such precision (she didn't know I was watching). When she finished she announced again, "I be gennly, I be gennly."
I helped her wash her hands, then she asked for a "handana" so her hair wouldn't fall. She pointed to one on the counter (since I wasn't sure what that was). I put it on, and she corrected me, "you put it on your eyes then up." So I put it over her eyes then rolled it up and told her how pretty she was. I asked her if I could take her picture, so she ran away. But it wasn't long before she came back and asked me to take it! That's a "handana" in the picture.

I am really enjoying your site and keeping up with all that's going on in your lives.
Just wanted to share a tip on wet kiddie carts at the store: a disposable diaper works wonders on getting up all the water!
We miss you all!
