Random Things I Want To Remember

I went to the Sandy Costco the other day with my kids. When I was headed towards the check out with my 500lbs. cart, I realized I forgot something so I parked my kids next to an isle that happened to be by a sample table. I told them to wait there, I'd be right back and I took off.

When I got back I stopped at the sample table and asked my kids if they wanted one. The lady at the table said, "can I tell you something?" I was totally startled. I thought she was going to tell me it was inappropriate to abandon my kids, that they might get stolen or something. She continued, "your kids are the best behaved kids I've ever seen, and I see hundreds a day. They just waited there and most kids would be screaming for a sample or wandering". I was feeling pretty good after that. They are amazing kids.

As we pulled out of the parking lot, there's a traffic light that was red. Caely excitedly exclaimed, "there's a deer!" I turned to look and right next to our car was a wandering deer. It was pretty cool.
Chris and I have gone out two nights in a row, and with Tyler gone at scout camp that left Caely to babysit. She is extremely responsible and we really trust her, but I still worry when we leave because she is so young and Patch has been really hard lately.

Both nights we've come home to the TV off and my kids lined up asleep. Too sweet!
Those are some pretty amazing kids.
