Today we went to visit Great Grandma. She is staying at my Aunt’s house for the rest of the week and we took the opportunity to visit her before she flies home. TJ and M were very sweet with her. It was nice to see the kids warm up to Great Grandma so quickly. TJ knows who she is and calls her “Great Grandma.” She just loves it.
TJ has been stealing my nose recently. It is a fun game of his. He will come up to me and say, “I get the nose,” and touch my nose. Today, he pretended to put it in his mouth and eat it. Then, he would pull it out of his shirt and put it back on my face. There are several different variations of the game. He and Great Grandma played the nose game. She would “look” for her nose and tickle TJ. He would tickle Great Grandma back. They were both laughing and enjoying it.
I am grateful that they do know their Great Grandparents. Family is so important.

Pit Stop
Today we went to Sam’s to get new tires on the Jeep. Between special ordering the tires, scout camp, and just being busy, it has taken about 2 weeks to get them replaced.
TJ loves going to Sam’s. He likes the tires because they have “hair” and he can climb through them when no one is looking. He enjoys the free cookies that we can occasionally get, and then there is also a large, plastic shed, meant for the backyard at Sam’s Club, near the tires.
This shed is the perfect playhouse. There are shelves and a window, and someone put a chair inside, and the kids love it. TJ calls it the “church.” It took a little while to figure out what he wanted the first time, riding in the cart at Sam’s while he was screaming, “Church! Church! Church!” Once I understood, the name just stuck. So now every time we go, he has to play in the “church.” It must remind him of nursery.
Today, the garage, with all the new noises and smells, fascinated him. He didn’t want to play in the church so much as watch the “pit stop” with Mommy’s car. Being a 3-year old and fascinated with cars (toys and the movie), the sight of Mommy’s car jacked up with no tires was an absolute delight for him. He and M were very interested in the whole procedure and very patiently and intently sat in the cart and watched nearly the entire time.
We snuck in a pretzel at the café before heading home. I enjoy going there and getting lunch. I can come home and put the kids down for a nap. M was up very, very early this morning and fell asleep in the cart as I was getting my keys back. The nap will do her good.

Getting Started
Well, with the family going in different directions and places right now, I thought it might be fun to create a way for you to participate in the little things that are happening in my life right now.
It feels a little silly, writing this and putting it out there for the whole world to read if they wanted, but the kids are just so fun that I have to share. It also is a way to keep track of the things that they do that are so easily forgotten. So, please enjoy, and comments are welcome.
