Crushin'

Looks like they are ALL growing up fast. I found this on the back of one of Zach's school papers.
I asked who it was and he said, "That's Amanda. I like her very much."

Happy 3rd Birthday Monkey!

You are getting so big!

Sittin' Up

Lily just sat up all by herself!

Today is Ryan's last day as a two year old. It's so hard to believe tomorrow he will be 3! I'm so excited about his birthday. Probably because he 'gets it' more this year and he is very excited himself.

Now I Remember

I have not visited the local Wal*mart in quite a while. Now I remember why. Yesterday I went there for school supplies thinking I could save some money and remembering that I had a hard time finding composition books last year. OHMYGOODNESS was it awful. Starting with the terribly designed parking lots all the way to the 50 people mashed into 2 aisles while the stock girl had 3 carts lining the aisle. You'd think a company that has been around for so long would have a better idea of when and how to stock the busiest aisle. I thought I might be making a mistake when I followed a young red haired guy with saggy shorts, a baseball cap turned sideways and a fake limp into the store. [Um, dude, this is suburbia 2006...did the fashion train drop you off in 1998 and forget to pick you up?] While I'm on ridiculous fashion can I ask you a question internet...At what point do shorts become highwaters? When I see a young urban guy whose "shorts"(I can only assume this is what they were meant to be as the 'only' came to his ankles) are longer than her capri pants I get a bit confused as to where fashion is going these days. Not that I am a fashion queen, far from it. Give me a comfortable pair of khaki pants or jeans and a tee shirt or polo and I'm happy as a clam. But I do think when you dress in a very noticeable way that you might think about what you look like before you leave the house. Maybe it's just me.
Anyway, back to my shopping trip. It sucked and I don't think I will go back there for a long, long time. I did however find something really cool for Ryan's birthday party that I have not seen anywhere else...they keep throwing me a bone. Ugh. I wish I could just make a clean break without wondering what I'm missing out on!
