Day 17 (August 6)

After getting myself, Lilli and Snoh ready we headed on a few errands mainly because Lilli was refusing to nap and she always falls asleep in the car and because the last 2 days of staying at home all day weren't our greatest days.

We started off at Fred Meyer, getting 6 boxes of Band-Aids (Snoh picked out Lightning McQueen & Scooby Doo ones) for just $0.30.  My coupons were worth more than the band-aids so I only had to pay part of the tax.  SCORE!!  Then we went to the Karcher Mall and would have loved to walk around more but I forgot the baby stroller, but we did stop by the pet store.  Snoh was very excited to see a guinea pig, just like in G-Force.  We also saw kittens and puppies, a rabbit, rats, frogs and lots of fish.  The tanks were labeled things like community, semi-aggressive, aggresive and of course he needed an explanation of them each time he recognized the word from the last tank.  So I explained many times that the aggressive ones are the mean ones; seems that was just about all they had.  We also stopped by Bath & Body Works for a free 2 oz bottle of their new scent: Dark Kiss.  Snoh did everything there.  He had even helped me print the coupon this morning, get it to my purse safely, carry it through the whole mall, and then hand it to the cashier at BBW.  He thought it was so nice that they gave it to us and we didn't have to give them any money :)  Then to Albertson's for some cheese & trail mix.  Random, yes, but it is what is a GREAT deal this week and that's how I shop now.  The trail mix will be awesome for Marcel's lunches once he's back to subbing and has to pack a lunch everyday.  Because Snoh was good during all of our stops, he got to pick a movie from the Redbox and he picked Alvin & the Chipmunks 2.  He watched it during rest time and did a WONDERFUL job at staying on the couch watching it quietly.  Now we want to watch it again in the morning with brother to teach him all the songs.

After rest time, we walked around the subdivision to a nearby yard-sale.  It was probably one of the weakest yard-sales I've ever seen but Snoh found a Diego lunchbox to take to kindergarten for just 50 cents.  He even asked the lady how much it cost and then gave her one of his dollars and waited for his 2 quarters.

We also ran in the sprinklers in the backyard.  When Lilli and I were out there with him he was too shy and ran in any direction he could to avoid getting wet.  However, Lilli and I came inside for her to take a nap and when I went to check on him he was standing directly in front of the sprinkler getting very wet.  He wants Brother and I to join him tomorrow.

Dinner was a success!  He didn't ask to put ketchup on anything :)  I made Velvetta Chicken Pasta and like every night, he got sad at me about dinner because he promised he didn't like it, but after he took one bite he ate the whole bowl before he ate his salad (which he even asked me to put green peppers on) or his banana.  I was so excited that he ate something the same way the rest of us did!  When Brother got home the play wrestled and Snoh hit his head on the corner of our bed frame.  He cried, wanted a hug and then said all he needed was a Scooby Doo band-aid!  Then the 3 of us all played Wii Bowling, Marcel almost lost to Snoh which made him very sad.

We're excited for the weekend to have brother home with us for a few days!
