How I Spent My Saturday

Eli was correct on some of his plans from last night. We went to WalMart and Target and a plethera of other establishments so that by the end of the day we were both Exhausted. Especially the 3 year old that Took No Nap.

My favorite part of the day? Aside from the Mommy Suh-PRIZE of a Big Red & Fly-Away-Stnaley-Be-Free we ordered off Ebay arriving that is.

Why that would be when we found out Eli is not only afraid of grasshoppers - he's afraid of any bug that happens to jump. Because there on the back of my car window when we finally arrived home? A praying mantis. Which Daddy promptly removed so Eli could see it. And after repeatedly encouraging Eli to come a little closer to look? Wouldn't you know the thing jumped. And Eli dang near birthed a calf. And for the next few minutes insisted on checking out his own back to make sure it was indeed G O N E. We finally found the dear hopper in the grass & showed MonkeyBoy so he could RUN back in the house.

No More Hoppers For Us. But David and I did get a good chuckle.
