Bump in the night, or just to early to get up in the a.m.

After waking at 7a.m. to potty, I heard an unusual noise coming from the baby monitor. It was a continuous tapping. It was very consistent in sound, a small tap and then a louder tap. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over. I decided to go out to investigate the noise. I came around into the kitchen and to my surprise (or not) I find my son, Jericho, sitting at the table with mans best friend on her hind legs, too at the table, and I am watching them taking turns hitting a container filled with mini cupcakes from the birthday party the evening before. When my son realized that they we be unsuccessful at there attempt to raid the counters he turns to me with his "angel" self, gives me "pretty eyes" and hands me the container. So as any mother would do at such an early hour, to teach him a lesson, I opened the container and handed him a cupcake and then coaxed him back to bed. 7o'clock was just a little too early to start discipline. It was one of those Kodak moments, but of course, I don't work all that well the digital camera. LOL!!

Yard Sale Fodder

It's amazing the "treasures" that can be found at yard sales. My neighbor was hosting one this weekend and we had a few things to sale, all but two items sold. She tends to over decorate her living abode, then is left with the dilemma of having to host a yard sale. But it's fun, we get to catch up on the neighborhood gossip. The weather was something to be desired, but us folks here in Texas are pretty much used to this kind of weather. That's about all for now, we'll continue tomorrow with the yard sale, and then the week will start all over again. Keep your fingers crossed that the mazda mx6 goes. I want it out of the driveway. The conquest is sold but hasn't been picked up yet. Chat at ya later!
