A LONG DAY

Hello friends, it has been a long day, due in part to the fact that i let Emma go to bed at 6 last night. She was up at five this morning. GGGrrroooaaaan. Then it was off to Prince, poured rain the whole way. Yuck!! It was really good to see Mom, and almost as good to see real stores!! WOW! Shopping! If only I'd had some money to burn. Saw some jeans in superstore that fit and were cheap and Long enough!!! Wow again! But, they had the faded but design goin on, hmmm, so I didn't get them. kind of regreet that, though, as I sit here in my too short jeans form the Sears catalogue. Where oh where are my priorities? Oh well. Had a good time anyway, had chinese for lunch and bought Gabe a plecothsemus? at the pet store.

By the way, Emma is not potty trained. She was comletely trained for months until we moved, and now she is in pull ups. i think she's just liking to a baby, like the ones Mom babysat. She doesn't poop in her pullup, but pees regularly. Silly silly kid.

Still no change in Grandma.

Love you all, hugs, Char

Kids say the Funniest Stuff

We were out for a walk the other day and the kids were finding all the halloween decorations. They spotted a Frankenstien, and Avery said an a spooky voice..."II'''mmm Fraannkenstien...". We all laughed and then hear Emma's little voice from the stroller...."II'''mmm baaabbbyyy stien." HAHAHAHa.

In the van today we were driving past Mcleod lake, Gabe was looking intently (probably for fish). I saw an island and pointed it out. he said "Mom, How do they hook the island on to keep it there?" Hmmm..

For Jill

For those of you who don't check out the comments, Jill asked me to compose a poem about Supreme court nominees' sock choices and vegetarian hindrances. I admit I probably didn't do my best, but here's what 90seconds will get ya.

Supreme court nominees,

Should dine on Mac and Cheese,

Unless they cut out meat,

They don't deserve a seat.

As to socks per seat,

Each pair should be quite neat,

White or black, no matter,

They do nothing but to chatter.

I will once again emphasize that perhaps political viewpoints may not be the best subject matter for this particular blog.

That being said, Ave and I wrote our MLA and delivered our letters today in regard to the teachers strike. I was quite proud. Especially of Ave's that read simply..

"Please treet my techur farly, I miss skool." -Avery Jackson,6.

Mine was a little more hard hitting.
