Grandma Rules

The kids and I went to 2 stores for groceries today. After arriving home and getting everything inside before it rained, I started putting away the fridge & freezer items. I opened the freezer, and there staring at me was a Dairy Queen quart of ice cream, with big giant block letters saying, "FOR AARON AND LILLIAN ONLY"

Thanks Grandma, now Roy and I have to wait until bedtime to sneak out for our OWN DQ treat.

We had tacos for supper, but due to a picky husband and son, we didn't actually use taco meat. I added sausage seasoning to the ground pork, which was pretty good. I also had my black olives, tomatoes and sour cream, so I didn't complain about the meat. Lillian is the only one in the family who likes refried beans, but I forgot to buy them. We all like different things. On pizza delivery night (usually Thursday!), we order a pepperoni for Roy and the kids, and I get my favorite pizza - ham, mushrooms, and black or green olives. SO weird, I know. Lately Lillian has been wanting just cheese pizza, so we'll take off the pepperoni. I'm NOT getting 3 pizzas yet!

A random test for everyone

I see there's some country music fans out there. Anybody Old Skool? I grayed out the ones that have been guessed. I need the Song title, the Artist is bonus points. I added a few more words to some of them. There's always Google if you get stumped. Keep going!

I borrowed this idea from my buddy Chris, who got it from somebody else. Such is the Internet!
Step 1: Put your iPod on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

Either email me at birdit24@yahoo.com with your guess (with the correct #), or post your comment here. Thanks for playing!!

Kidbits

On Thursday night we went to Sarah's for supper. Lily talked to Grandma on the phone before we left, and promptly told her, "We can't come to your house tonight, Grandma. We are going to your other daughter's house, the one that's having twins." Grandma Iris was floored, as she hadn't said a word about coming to her house, and it's not like she has a ton of daughters either!

Roy and I had to work yesterday, so Mom & Dad (Grandma & Papa) watched the kids. I called over lunch and talked to Aaron first.

Aaron: "We're watching the St. Patrick's Day parade. We're in Chicago, and we took a plane here. We'll be home later though."
Me: "How did I call you on Grandma's home phone if you're in Chicago?"
Aaron: "She brought the phone with us."

Then Lillian gets on the phone:
Lillian: "He is LYING Mommy! We are NOT in Chicago, we're watching the parade on TV!"

I think sarcasm runs in the family.

Getting big...

My firstborn will be 8 next month, as he keeps reminding me. He can't decide whether he wants a sleepover, a pool party, bowling, or skating for his birthday party. We'll narrow it down in a few weeks. I have limited the guests to 3.
