Cash Shoes

Once in a while, my kids add an item to my grocery list. It's usually Marie, and I can usually figure out what it's about. But last week I just could not figure out what was going on with "cash shoes" and who wrote it??? At least, not until I asked Steve out loud and heard myself say it. Yep, turns out Steve wrote it, and what he meant was "cashews." Steve is a smart guy. He once took a military entry test (or something like that) and scored in the high 90s in everything. Except spelling, in which he got 14%. I think it has something to do with his snarky personality too, because he figures if we can understand what he says, then it's spelled correctly.

Some more random pics...

We still have the creep living next door, so our kids' outdoor time is limited to when we're out there. It's now a touchy subject with the neighbor and Steve doesn't want to bug him about it anymore, so we're really hoping he'll get rid of the guy before summer. Even so, he wants his weird bachelor son to live there instead, so it's still not a good situation. And the kids' favorite spots to play are in their forts pretty near where he lives :(

Flowers are always a good excuse to take a picture :)

We call Jenna our "Pumpkin Therapy". Emily was discouraged and having a bad day, and what can cheer you up better than holding a sweet chubby baby, our little "pumpkin"?
