Seven on Saturday

-
(because Five on Friday never happened)

1. How to deal with a crankybutt toddler when you want a clean(er) house and it's 4PM on a Friday
 2. Sometimes you stop by the thrift store when they're having a 50% off sale intending to buy one thing (huge, brand new white board//$5) and end up with a chair that helps your kitchen nook look a little more matchy matchy and it makes you smile more than a white board would have//$3
 3. We accidentally fell into the Dark Hole of American Girl when I checked out The American Girl Encyclopedia (no joke). I thought the girls would skim through it and move on, but Caris has memorized every page and has her heart set on Julie. I've explained, in kind words, that while extremely cute and fun looking, AG wants to rob us of all our money ("No hun, Julie and one outfit is $115. Julie + her "egg chair" would be $215") It's given us a chance to talk about saving money and if nothing else, day dream together. Even Kent was not exempt from picking a potential doll for himself. 
4. Would you rather.... own Julie or a ferret? Eeeeeek.
Kent and Caris visited PetCo this morning during their Daddy Daughter Date. 
 5. Ignoring all my real responsibilities today, I made a back to school wreath for the front door. It's inspirited by Kathleen Kelly 

“Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.”

 6. Early morning foggy walk to the church to deliver our grocery list to Kent and Caris
 7. Muscadines from a local farmer/a family who attends our church and a husband that likes to experiment in the kitchen on his day off

    Yes, Former LICS- which I'll always call LICS because the new name is too long. They have started to do random 50% store sales and they post the night before or morning of on Facebook. I don't think they're cool enough to post on Instagram yet, but maybe they do?? I should unfollow them for the sake of self control ;) Kent said he saw the cutest couple on a date at CFA yesterday

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
