Little Tigers

I love our daycare. First and foremost they hug my kids. I had been told that day cares didn't do that anymore because of liability issues. That is bunk. Babies need hugs. Well my daycare hugs.  Then I love all the things the littles learn and the things Nana learns. I try to use the same words in disciplining and I get better response. Connor pulls hair. So I told him to let Sissy go, that pulling hair was not okay. He just let go. I didn't have to pry his fingers from around her hair. Wow. I love the things we learn.

Lull

I guess we had our big push for summer quarter. I think I missed it. We are already going back to short weeks. Inventory this year falls before summer rush, so that may have a play in this. Just feels really strange.

Time

I don't know what he was thinking, but he decided to lock me out of the online banking. And that pissed me off.  And it moved me.  I FINALLY made the appointment with an attorney.  Then I took my debit card and the checks I found and gave them to him.  Told him about the appointment.
We had an actual conversation.  I told him what I wanted and he agreed.  He seemed relieved that I was not wanting the house and property.  Because as I was told it is family land.  Anyhow it is good that initially he is not up in arms.  I'm pretty sure what I want is what I will get.  If it were to all be added up, I'm not taking half.
In the midst of this conversation he commented that he thought we would stay married until I wanted to get remarried..Say What?  For tax purposes.  I had gotten that gist before and was shocked then.  Still amazed at the thought process.  No I'm not going to stay married while living somewhere else.  I want to be self sufficient with a small sense of security.  I need to be on my own for that.

And the Fighting Begins

Our big outing of the day was a trip to Toys R Us.  Boy there are a lot of cool things to play with there.  The littles had to sit in every battery operated car.  It was funny when Audrie popped the hood on one to check out the engine.  We came home with two Barbies (who have since lost their clothes) and a new scooter.  I have been watching for a used three wheeled one for over a month and have given up.  Found this one for $25 so got it.  Taking Pat's advice which is to save the box and then maybe ebay it when we are done depending on abuse between now and then.  They won't be on a three wheeled one long.

Summertime

Making plans for the summer season.
1. Beach trip. Time for the little man to discover sand in his diaper.
2. Six to sunset concerts, at least three. Dance little kids.
3. Sunset at the zoo concert. Because we can.
4. Trip north to play with the cousins.
5. Trip north to visit the Puget Sound with the VanWagoners.
6. Hike a local trail. One of us may stroll.
7. Dinner with David and Emma. Maybe three times as I love breaking bread with them.

Saturday Market

It was a toss up between the beach and the Portland Saturday Market. Audrie made the decision for us by not getting dressed until almost noon. ;p   We parked at the Cascade Station. On the way to the max line we passed 105.1 the buzz and they gave us Jamba Juice smoothies. We drank them while waiting for the max. Connor was enchanted with max. He got a different view of the freeway. Audrie was an old pro by now.
The market was packed. We met lots of dogs. We saw interesting art. We just missed Jacob, who must have had the same idea we did.  Then we returned home, with a stop at Wow Burgers for French fries. They both fell asleep in the car.

Big Boat

The Hawaiian Chieftain was docked by the Inn at the Quay, so we drove on down and checked it out. The Lady Washington was also suppose to be there, but I think she hadn't made it yet. Still we got a nice look with no crowds this morning.  Later they will be having tours, but I didn't think we needed to do that....not with a stroller.  Pretty spectacular boat from its time period.  Here is info about the boats. It was pretty chilly down by the river today.  Connor still enjoyed the planes and the boats.  We got back in the car just before it started to rain again.  We had good timing.
