We went out to dinner tonight (I know, big surprise). Linus LOVES blue jello, which she calls blue bumpies. After finishing her potatoes and fish, she asked if she could have her blue bumpies. I told her she had to have 4 bites of carrots first. She looked at Army and me and said, "Shh, did y'all hear that?" We both fell for it and said no. "Shhh, listen, my teeth just said they would rather bumpies!" Nice try!
On the way home, we stopped at the video store to rent a movie. I think we are the last people on the face of the earth who don't have Netflix or Blockbuster through the mail. We don't have Tivo either. When Army was about to go in, he asked what I wanted if they didn't have the movie we were looking for. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it (haha!) but I love mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I'm thinking about leaving Army for the man in charge of the MRPBC factory. Naturally, I told him that if they didn't have the movie we wanted, my next choice was fresh MRPBC. There is a grocery store in the same complex as the movie rental store. He didn't think my idea was all that funny. While he was in the store looking for the movie, I prepped Linus to ask for "fresh snacks" when he returned since I know he'll do anything for her (yes, I know I'm evil). She started asking the minute he go to the car. He looked at me and said, "Well played!" then drove over to the grocery store (it was raining, we're not that lazy). Right before he got out, Linus asked, "Mommy, what should I ask Daddy for next?" Thankfully he laughed, but I'm fully aware--and scared--of the monster I created.
As we pulled into the driveway tonight, she looked up at the sky and said, "When I go to outer space..." I immediately said, "I'll be so sad when you go. I'll miss you." My little sweetie said, "Don't be scared, Mommy, Daddy will take good care of you, and I'll have my eye on you the whole time from outer space!"

We don't have netflix, blockbuster nor tivo. I am way too ADD to watch movies anyway.....though Superhubby did ACCIDENTALLY order a movie on playboy (which we don't get either)the other night. He said he just hit info to see what it was and it ordered it. The movie was like 3 girls on a guy or something...what did he think it was about.
Blue bumpies, huh? THAT is incredibly cute! The "I'll keep my eye on you" comment? Okay, practically brought me to tears! Don't you just...I mean, really, don't you just Thank God everyday that you get to be Mama to this little girl? She was SO meant for you, Lanny and, while I think you are so, so lucky to have her--I also think she is so, so lucky to have you and Army. What a beautiful family...
Katy, we got a new remote control with our satellite when we moved into our current house. My mom babysat one night and accidentally ordered Pay Per view porn. She called the satellite company and explained what happened (she had no idea how to work the remote), and I about died laughing when I found out!
Kim, thanks! That's so sweet of you to say that! We sure do love her tons, and I Thank God for her constantly.
