What is it about the refridgerator?

What is so fascinating about it that kids want to just be in it?
Both of my kids have just loved to stand in it and hang out.
Anytime it's open, Katie makes a bee-line to get right in.

Kelton was the same way!
This was him just about at Katie's age now.
Hard to believe he was ever that little. {sniffle}

He liked to get in the dishwasher too.
Katie hasn't managed that yet.

But just like Kelton, Katie does love her books.
Of course, in order to be very individual,
she also likes to take her clothes off (he never did that).

Someone is getting some meat on her bones!

Daddy took the Moose and the Bugs with him back to his parent's for the weekend. Since he has a hunting trip coming up, he wanted to give me a little time to myself. It's been years since I've had more than just a few hours to do whatever my heart desired and it'll be years before it happens again, so (with a few goodbye tears on Fri) I accepted the offer.

I did lots of running around and of course got some couponing in.
This was $15 at Dillons.

At Target, I stocked up on diapers and wipes. I paid a little more price per diaper that I would prefer, but Katie can only wear Pampers and it's the best I've been able to do. For $31, I got enough diapers to last at least 3wks and enough wipes to last at least 2-3mo, plus some other goodies too.


I had dinner with my mom. Brunch with a friend. Did lots of laundry, put away the Halloween stuff and got started organizing the storage area in the basement. It was nice to have a little me time, but I was sure ready to see my kids and the hubs when they finally got back on Sunday evening!

Just a head's up...Wed is a special day. Make sure to give an an extra thank you to all the veteran's and active duty military who make this country a safe place to live!
