Is there a test for that?

I took all the boys to Bulk Barn tonight. hee hee. Fun times. I needed some spices and the boys needed a treat for FHE so we went shopping. They got to pick anything they wanted, but could only get 100 grams of whatever they picked. The results were pretty amazing and described each boy perfectly. Read on and tell me what you think.

Ryan - picked sour gumballs, weighed in at 95 grams, total = $0.64

Noah - started off with a huge bag of whoppers. He went to put some back, then put clodhoppers in the same bag. Had to go to the cashier, apologize, and ask what she wanted him to do with his bag of mixed chocolate. Started off with a new bag, picked clodhoppers, weighed in at 105 g, total was $1.57.

Cameron - picked dried apricots and was so happy with his choice, but then started to cry when Noah teased him for picking fruit. weighed in at 100 grams exactly, total was $$1.39.

Kai - said to heck with putting anything in a bag and picked something prepackaged off the shelf. On the way home he was so excited to sell it to Noah for 100 pennies!!! Total = $1.59.

If this doesn't exactly describe each boy to a "T" I don't know what does!

I got all my spices, including Chai Seeds, and am quite happily going to bed.

1 year, 2 months, 8 days

Ok, it's been a while since I blogged, but I really didn't count the days. That's a guess. If I had enough time to figure out the real amount of time that has passed I may have had enough time to blog sooner!
My son is home from Europe! He had no luggage in Europe until the second last day before he came home, was delayed in Montreal for 8 hours, arrived in Edmonton from Calgary with {you guessed it} no luggage, but is sleeping in his own bed tonight! Crazy kid, I missed him. And he brought me real Belgium chocolate. Who doesn't love a kid who knows exactly what his mom wants?
Half way through spring break with kid #2. There is snow on the ground but he is spending his time remembering what his golf clubs feel like to swing.
Perry and I took the boys to the College Final Rodeo last night. It was a first experience for all of them. When they brought a goat out and tied it down Noah looked at us and said "Are they gonna kill it?" Yup. That's what all that Call of Duty will do to your brain. When the cowgirl jumped off her horse, flipped the goat over and tied 3 of his legs together without the goat even taking one step Noah said "Whoo. That goat was born yesterday." Good times.
Well, I'm gonna try and figure out Pinterest. Wish me luck!
