Kidsville

Spring Break was cold and dreary here in Abilene and so going outside to play wasn't much of an option. Instead, we headed one day to the Grace Museum with Reese to check it out. It was fun - we stayed for about 3 hours. Of course they have paintings and normal Museum stuff downstairs, but on the 2nd floor, they have Kidsville - and it was a blast! Reese had fun, as so did we! The 3rd floor was the history of Abilene and they had replica kitchens from the 20's, 40's, 50's and 70's. It was way cool. Our little guy loved the 2nd floor best, and I think we might head back this weekend when Reese and his cousin Kenny have their very first slumber party!

"Sassafrassweet!"

I have the most sweet husband ever! Last night, he let me watch the CMA's with no interruptions - and it was Heaven...and then today, came waltzing through the door with RASCAL FLATTS TICKETS! I have mentioned how much I would love to see them and he remembered and made it happen! I adore him and he's so sweet!

Cooking With Mom 101

What a great little helper I have! I love that he loves to help! It takes a little longer to get things done, but he LOVES to help, and I have fun exposing him to new things!

"Burwds...Whey Awww You?"

For Spring Break, we headed to DFW and took Reese to some places that he LOVED! It was so fun to watch him watching all the animals and taking it all in. He was such a trooper - no naps either day!

He and I started this thing in the car when he would get fussy. I would ask if he could see a certain animal and he would tell me "NO!" So, then I would say "Snake....Where are you?" He would then start repeating me in an almost whisper...he still does it - and it's absolutely precious!

Oh RATS!

Y'all remember the rats??? (Read below if you don't!) Well, they are back!!!!!!

Garrett and I decided to cook some steaks out on Saturday night. We have a handy dandy grill on our stove and I like using it - Garrett wanted to take his outside.....They steaks were great!

Yesterday, Garrett says to me "Babe, do you think we'll have many cookouts this summer?" I of course wonder where in the heck this is coming from and say "WHY?"

Continue on:

Garrett : "Well, when I went to cook my steak, I found the momma rat and all her babies. I thought it was going to be a bird and so as I opened the lid, I braced myself for it to fly out, but instead the rats were just scurrying around. I stepped on them and threw them in the dumpster."

Me: "And then you put your food on top of the rats house?"

Garrett: "Well, I heated it up for an extra 5 minutes - no biggie."

Me: "You are going to die of salmonella. You didn't let Reese eat anything off your plate did you? You didn't touch any of his food or his juice cup did you???? REESE, GET IN HERE AND WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!"

Garrett: "I cooked off all the germs."

Me: "You are nasty!"

Garrett: "What?????"

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many of your husbands would do this same thing? How sicko is that??????????

Babe, if you wanted a new grill, you should've just asked for one.....I'm sure we could've gotten one!

Really?

Are we really so disconnected and so self absorbed in our own lives that this can really happen? My heart is breaking for this woman.......absolutely breaking.....
