Some highlights from today:
*I had great french toast today. I fixed it for breakfast and it never fails to delight me. It was made even better because my fantastic husband whipped out a nice new griddle pan that he bought at a yard sale for $2. It was the missing link between okay french toast and excellent french toast. He bought it for my birthday but couldn't wait to give it to me. That makes 3 things he has bought for my birthday that I've received already. If you know my husband at all, you know that this is exceptionally strange and seriously out of character for him. I'm not questioning anything.
*Henry and I played school today. He made sure to tell Timon that "I was gonna be the student, and my Mommy was the teacher." He and Friend and Curious George formed a class at the table and we did some pages from three workbooks, made 2 crafts, played that really fun game called "sort the bills into piles for filing", had recess, and then lunch. He was so funny. I think we'll make it a regular Friday event.
*I'm brining a chicken right now! We're having friends over for dinner tomorrow, and I thought I'd give it a shot. I put lots of salt, lemon pepper seasoning, parsley and bay leaves in water and boiled it, cooled it down, and put a roaster chicken in. It's in the fridge until 2 tomorrow when it'll go in the oven. I'll let you know how it goes.
*Tonight was our first outdoor movie night of the season at church. We showed Evan Almighty, which is really funny and cute for families. Henry had a blast until he got kicked in the face (by accident by one of the youth) and then he claimed his popcorn made him sick (it got stuck in his throat and he coughed a couple of times). Poor kid.
*My parents are gonna love this one: Henry just now came out of his room to tell us he couldn't sleep. I told him "You can't sleep if you're not in your bed." I am turning into my mom! (Not that that's a bad thing.)

Sounds like you all had a great day! You really need to record Henry in "school" so that Melody can see! She would love it! I am sure Nana would too! (As well as everyone else) I hope Henry is ok since his popcorn incident as well as when he was kicked. He is a great kid! Such a ham!
Nana and Papa feel great joy from observing the full circles of life events. HUZZAH and WOOT WOOT for 2 full circles in one event!!!!
Yes, yes, yes, the old mom-and-dad-isms. I myself have found myself saying these things too. Sometimes I mention to Greta afterwards how I can't believe I just said that.
I'll have to try and remember to tell you about it when it happens next.
Oooh, Oooh, here is one, along the same lines as what you said to Henry. Melody was having a hard time getting to sleep. I told her "You won't ever fall asleep if you don't close your eyes!"
Or when Greta wasn't feeling well this week, I told her to try some Bacitracin and vaccuum and she shouold be feeling better soon.
Don't forget to wash the dishes... that was always a popular cure-all from mom as well!
