Monkey hand and other random thoughts...

This weekend, I decided that we needed to rearrange the seats in our van. I thought this would be a simple task, because we only needed to move one seat over. WRONG!! We tried to remove the seat, and it got jammed. Collin and Maya were outside with us, and Collin kept saying "I know the answer to the puzzle, I know the answer to the puzzle!" We were not in the mood. I was trying to keep the mood light while we worked on trying to get this dumb seat out. So I asked Collin what he thought. He replied "Just wham it in!" It was so funny the way that he said it, we just laughed and laughed.


After the seat adventure, we told the kids we were going to go get them each a fish. Maya was thrilled until she realized that we were only going to get one fish bowl and put it downstairs. This did not fly with her, she wanted it in her room. She was whining, and whining, and carrying on. Maya gets pretty intense when she gets herself all wound up. So when we pulled into the parking lot she said, "I'm going to kick you guys when we get out." Dan and I stopped and started laughing and laughing!! She realized what a monster she was being, and she started laughing too!


Jensen loves to "help" me unload the dishwasher. His favorite part is helping me unload his bottles. A couple of nights ago he was helping me, and he was playing in the basket that holds all of the tops to the bottles. He started saying "Help, help" and walked over to Dan. He had stuck a piece to the bottle down inside the bottle and reached in to grab it, and his fist wouldn't fit through the opening. He would not let it go! We called him "monkey hand" after that story about the monkeys and the food and the monkeys won't let go of the food. Whatever, if you have heard the story, you will know what I'm talking about!!
