Parker: "Mom can I have some pink milk."
Me: "Sure."
Parker: pointing to the straw in the cup on the bottle of Hershey's Strawberry Syrup... "Is that Christmas?"
Me: "Sure. Are you ready for Christmas?"
Parker: "Yeah."
Me: "Are you ready for Santa to come?"
Parker: "Oh yeah."
Me: "What do you want Santa to bring you?"
Parker: "PRESENTS!"
Parker just woke up crying and came to me for me to pick him up.
I hugged him and said what's wrong...
He said, "I want to go outside and daddy said no."
Poor kid -- Such a sad/bad dream!
Parker's new thing lately is "2 minutes."
Me: "Parker it's time to get ready for bed."
Parker: "Just give me two minutes."
Parker: "Kia come play in my room."
Kari: "I can't - I have to go home."
Parker: "Just two minutes?"
Adam: "It's time to turn off the tv."
Parker: "Just two more minutes."
It's so cute when he says it and holds up his two fingers - sometimes I can't help but let him have his "2 minutes."
After Parker's Nap today, I told him we were going to go outside to play. With the "cool front" that came through, our temps went down from the 90s to the 80s, and it has been very nice out.
I brought a blanket out for Rigs to sit on and Parker had his big ball and bat.
After being out there about 10 minutes he said, "It's too hot out here, let's go back inside."
Yep - that's my kid. He's definitely related to his momma - except I didn't think it was that hot today. (Before our "cool front" he lasted maybe 2 minutes outside! haha)
I'm in the shower - Parker comes in - the conversation goes like this:
Parker: "Mom, Dad is on the phone."
Me: "Okay Parker. Tell him I'll call him back when I get out of the shower."
Parker: "Okay" and walks out of the bathroom.
After I get dressed I go find Parker. This is how the conversation goes...
Me: "Did daddy really call?"
Parker: "No, I called him."
Luckily it was Adam and not someone else! :)
We headed to Old Navy tonight to use my Super Cash I got earlier in the month. If you spend $40, you get $20 off. A great deal right! Half the price...So we found enough Items to get over $40 and checked out. When I got home and was looking at the receipt, It looked odd to me....
Parker: "Where are we going?"
Me: "To pick up daddy and then go to the store."
Parker: "After we go to the store can we go to Chick-fil-a?"
Me: "I don't know."
Parker: "But not daddy. Just you, me and Rigee."
Me: "Why can't daddy go?"
Parker: "because he has to go home and go to bed to go to work."
This weekend our church had conference and it was amazing. Elder Holland came and spoke to us and switched out our Stake Presidency.
Our family had the opportunity to feed Elder Holland. He was so polite and funny. He shook our hands and told my mom that he would like to fly in every weekend for her to fee him! He also told Mom that she was his very own Betty Crocker or something like that. Before my dad could introduce Kari, Elder Holland told her she looked just like my mom.
He also talked to Riglee and said that she was the pretty little girl that he saw being passed around Saturday night at conference. Haha -- She started out sitting with Adam's Parents and then was ready for her bottle so I had to go get her from them...
It was a pretty amazing experience and I'm glad I suffered through my back pain to attend and help mom feed him and the Stake Presidency. I am sad that I missed out on Sunday feeding them lunch. I came home and My parents, sister and sister in law got to sit at the table with Elder Holland and visit with him while he ate his lunch before he headed to the airport. What a neat experience that would have been.
Yesterday at church, Parker was playing a game on my phone with his friend, Braydon. After they had been playing a while I got a tap on my shoulder from Braydon's Mom saying they are trying to open a movie on your phone. The conversation between Parker and me went a little like this...
Me: "What are you doing?"
Parker: "I want to watch Netflix. I want to watch George"
Me: "You can't watch a movie during church"
Parker: "but I'll be really quiet!"
Every morning I tell Parker to go get dressed for his happy day.
This morning it went a little like this...
Me: "Parker go get dressed for your happy day?"
Parker: "For my happy birthday?"
Me: "no, it's not your birthday."
Parker: "Oh for Claire and Lindon's Birthday?"
Me: "No we already went to their Party. But, it's Aunt Kia's birthday on Saturday."
Parker: "My best friend, Kia? Her birthday? My best friend Kia and Matt?"
Me: "haha, yes Parker Kia"
Parker: "Is she going to have a spiderman cake??"
I guess Uncle Matt will have to get Kia a spiderman cake for her birthday!
I wanted to share this amazing deal with everyone. Finish Line has NCAA Fleece Hooded Sweatshirts for $50 a piece. But they are having a sale right now for 2 for $50.
Parker: "Mom I want to hold you."
Me: "You can't right now. Mom's back hurts really bad."
Parker: "Here I'll rub it for you."
Me: "Thanks Parker that was soo sweet!"
Parker: "Now can I hold you?"
How could I not let him hold me after that? The lil stinker!
Have I ever told you how much I love coupons?
I have?
Good.
But just to be clear if you didn't know, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE coupons!!
I headed to Target today to get a few things and brought a few coupons with me!
I scored Rigs the cutest pair of jeans for $7 instead of $15 - they were marked down from $15 to $9 and I had a $2 off coupon!
I also needed to get Parker some body wash/shampoo. Another shopper left a coupon they didn't need so I got 50 cents off! Wahoo.
Are you a nice shopper like that?
Do you leave extra coupons you don't need right there next to the product for others for you to use?
Well good for you I'm proud!
And I love the way I feel when I've saved some $$$!!!
