Ashley & Mommy Time

Ashley & I spent the day together...it was wonderful...just Mommy & daughter time. We went to our favorite place...The Orchard. First we saw Kung Fu Panda at the AMC, for only $5 each (that's the special on the weekend, for all the movies from 10-11:00am). Then we bought some matching T-shirts at Gymboree, for our buddies (pics of that to come)...and we ate lunch outside at The Happy Sumo and had a terrific time. Then Ashley played in the water. She loves it and she shared the cup she was playing with when we left, with a little boy--she's so thoughtful. We made the mistake of going to Target, although we had a great time, our Discover bill will be a little higher at the end of the month (but we got some great deals and limited our $1 items)!

Some funny things the kids said today:

Daniel sometimes talks himself to sleep...he goes through all of the people's names that he knows, the Sesame Street characters, just things he knows are funny...today he kept repeating "Fukudome, Fukudome, Fukudome" and we laughed so hard as we heard him in the baby moniter. David says that Daniel says that name better than some sports announcers!

Ashley and I had a talk today, about buying things on sale and trying not to spend so much money, so we could be good stewards of the money God has blessed us with... so as we were walking through Target, I told her we had some things that we really didn't need and asked her if we should put them back...she said, "No, lets buy all of them"...so of course, we did (well, we traded a big ball for 2 things)...but I told her Daddy wasn't going to be happy with all of the money we spent. As we were walking out, she says, "Daddy's not going to be happy b/c we spent all of our dollars" just loud enough so the cashier we were passing could get a good laugh. It was the first thing she told Daddy about, when we got home...little stinker!
