The littles sure keep me on my toes. From day to day they change their minds on everything. From the food they will/won't eat to whether they want to go to daycare.
So this morning the little man is so happy he gets to go to daycare because he loves it. Not last week, but today. Tessa taught him how to play Battleship and he discovered the puzzles in the gym with Aiden. And so it goes. Makes life a lot easier when he wants to go. No messing and stalling around.
Now if only he felt like this every day. ;p

Sunny Day Play
We had went to check out the camper that Uncle Pat bought, but he wasn't home. So we trekked on down to the park to play. They played with some kids on the playground. And then we took a path through the woods and played on some stumps.
We were amazed when we found a wooly bear caterpillar. And it was alive. It is totally the wrong season to find them. They were fascinated.

Gun Shows, Gun Stores and Ammo
Well. My brother is looking for 25-20 ammo and it seems to be hard to come by. It is for an older rifle that belonged to my grandfather. I'm looking for a target shooting gun. So we started out at the gun show at the event center.
He had no success, but the last place we went had had some and intended to get more. So they took his name and number and told him they would call when they got some in.
I held a lot of handguns. Amazed at the differences in weight and feel. Decided I liked the Glock 42 the best and the Ruger 380 next. A lot to think about.
My friend Doug suggested if I really wanted a 380 that I should look at a Sig Sauer P238. I couldn't tell you if I handled one of those at the show. So I'm going to do some more studying and looking. And if we go target shooting before I buy something I will just borrow the 38 special. But I really like the feel of the boxy handguns.
After the show we hit a couple of small gun stores. Talked to some guys. Didn't buy anything. Just looking and doing research. One interesting thing.....a guy told me that the price of ammo has been ahead of gold for the last twenty years. Meaning the price is more about what the market will bear than anything else. Now granted when a liberal is in charge of the country the gun folks tend to stock up driving the prices up. To me that says it is the market and the buyers, not the president who sets the prices for the ammo.

Best Day Ever
Wow. As the night was winding down, the little woman pops up with this was the best day ever with you. Now I don't know what I did to deserve such high praise, but I will take it.
Their day got a kick start when the new babysitter came to sit. They played the whole time I was gone and they were happy. All three of them. I'm relieved and glad and blessed.
Then the little man went home with Uncle Pat. So that left the little woman and me to have a girl night. We made a quick run over to Best Buy to pick up a new kid tablet. Two broken i-pads just leaves us in a lurch. And new ones aren't on sale right now. After that we went and had dinner at Shari's. And a quick trip into Fred Meyer's and then home. We laid in bed and I watched TV while she played with the new tablet. Then she made her comment.
I think maybe she just enjoyed time with me with no stress and no brother. ;p

Television
Woke up and got online. I had an email from Comcast. They would be at our house between 8 and 10 this morning. Wow. And the guy arrived at 8:04. Hooked us all up and gave us a new faster modem for the Internet. Walked me through all the things I needed to know.
Watching television tonight and I realized the picture is so much crisper with cable that it was with satellite. Amazingly so.
And I love having all new equipment. The DISH stuff was locking up several times a week. Sometimes the whole system and sometimes just Netflix. So I never was sure what the problem was. Bet we don't have that problem any more.
And I am already loving some of the features....like watching last weeks episode of Grimm that isn't on my DVR box, but is sitting in my DISH box. Comcast just had it there for me to watch.
I can tell you right now though.....while they say this new remote is the easiest they have ever had....my mom would be lost with it. Now I just need to find the cartoon channels that we have.

Walmart Gets Me Comcast
So after picking the littles up from daycare we went to Walmart. We needed cat litter. While there we were accosted by an independent seller of Comast services. Now I already have Comcast for internet and phone. And I had been thinking about trying to get in on one of the deals for those plus television.
I have been using DISH ever since Mom moved. They have exorbitant termination fees. Mom had changed her mind shortly after getting DISH, but they told her sorry you signed a contract. You want out, pay $20 per month for every month remaining on the contract. Ouch. So I have just been using them until the contract is up.
Now we still have six months, but I figured I need to slim down my budget so one cut can be TV. So I signed up with the guy which should cut my bill by at least $25. We have gotten used to two TVs so we are going to keep two TVs.

Shopping With Mom
I don't know. We set up a shopping day a week in advance and I remind her about it a couple of times. And yet we have not ever completed our shopping day. Every single time it is time she won't get up. Goes back to sleep. I sit there for 45 minutes and then leave. I don't know what the aversion is to shopping. Today we were suppose to find a birthday gift for my brother and get her some new bras. Ha. Now she gets right up if we are going to eat. She gets up when we go to the doctor although not as quickly as eating. Maybe it is a matter of what she wants to do at the moment.
So after leaving her I went to three stores price shopping on the things on his list. I picked up a gift from the littles. I'm still up in the air about my gift.....and think maybe I might see something when he and I got out this weekend.
Once home I ordered her some bras online and had them shipped. Hope they fit....they should. Same brand and size she is currently wearing. And if not then I return them and do it again.
I just don't know. Maybe our shopping days are over. And yet she went shopping with Pat last month for my present. ;p
