In today's news....

Some of the latest Lego cars that we have T and I have built
A's new diaper bag, minus the bear and accessories.
The other day the kids and I went to the store. I decided that they could have a toy because first, it had been a long time, and second they were so good to run errands all over the place the last couple of days. T seems to really have a passion for Legos. He loves to play with them and especially loves to build them. It is not very often that he takes them apart though, which is interesting (and really nice actually). We bought T the red car quite a while ago, and then this time bought the others. If you look there is a green vehicle, a police car, and a news helicopter which all came together. I thought that was really sad and funny. It was called the Lego Racers series, but let's be honest, it should be called World's Wildest Police Chases series. Hopefully in the future they will include a free DVD of World's Wildest Police Chases 3 hosted by Sheriff John Bunnell. We could watch it after the Care Bears Movie some evening. Anyway, as always it was a lot of fun to build them with T. A decided that she wanted this diaper bag. It came with a little bear, a bottle, and other baby stuff. The funny thing is, the bear is tiny and the diaper bag is about 52X bigger than the bear for which it is supposed to care for. It is sort of like feeling like you need a Suburban for your two small children. Sure, they are 3 feet tall, but all the stuff that they seem to need would easily fill the rest of the car. I would have pictured the bear, but it is currently sleeping with A. For any of you wondering, NO, Milky has not been replaced or demoted and I don't see that happening any time soon.
We mostly just hung around the house for the majority of the day. I got back from school around 11:30am and it was rainy all morning. Around 3pm it started to become sunny, so we went all over with their bikes. T fell down and scraped his knee up a little yesterday. It took him about 3 minutes to be comfortable with riding again. He kept telling me to make sure he doesn't crash. They are getting so fast, that I can no longer walk by them, but usually I have to run to keep up. It is amazing how quickly they grow and develop. Now they seem to race each other. It was not long ago that T was always in the lead, now T really has to work hard to lead, and often keep up with A. It is sort of fun to watch, it is like the Tortoise and the Hare. T can speed by pretty quickly. When he gets too far away I tell him to slow up and wait for A. She will just cruise on by before he has time to react and often gets a commanding lead. It is so funny to watch them interact and see the warm-hearted competitiveness that exists between them.
P.S. Whenever somebody figures out the weather around here, could you please explain it to me? While you are at it, I am sort of interested in the JFK assassination and the crop circles. Just a few of the mysteries weighing on my mind lately. Thanks.
