just ramblin'

5 posts in 6 days, what am I thinkin'!?! just a few things that have been going on...

1. easton (my chocolate man) had an awesome dinner last night. daniel cooked steaks out on the grill. brenden took a plate out to him, to bring them in. well, brenden got side tracked or something & as daniel put all three steaks on the plate, it tilted. the steaks landed on the back patio. as this was happening, brenden asked daniel what they were, daniel said "it's steak, it's what we're having for dinner." not two seconds later he says "well, it's what we were having." haha!! it was too funny. all we could do was laugh, i mean what can you do? by the time i was getting the camera, easton had scarfed that down like no other. as we were at the table eating our green beans & rolls, he came in, mouth wide open, just smilin'!

2. daniel made his hot sauce last night. atleast we had some of that for dinner. oh & i made double chocolate ghiradelli cookies, so we had that too. guess dinner wasn't so bad, huh?!

3. brenden is learning so much. it's amazing! we can talk with him about anything & everything & he just takes it all in. we could have conversations with him all day straight & he'd be just fine with that. spanish...wow, in a couple months he will know more than daniel & i do. now, he likes to say colors in spanish rather than english. it's so cute hearing him say verde! when i picked him up from school yesterday, the director stopped me on the way out & said she would like to talk to me. great...who's butt did he try & look at this time. she said they have an opening in the preschool 2 class (he is in preschool 1), & she asked his teacher to decide who she thought was mature & ready enough to be transferred to the older class. she chose brenden! we are so excited! we will begin the transition next week :) they do this school like a regular school, so in august they move up to the next "grade," but he'll be headed there early, i guess. he has only been in this school since june! she said, he'll do preschool 2, then pre-k, then on to kindergarten. whoa, nelly!! time's movin a little too fast! :) he'll be in kindergarten in 2yrs?!? so proud of him.

4. i'm already done with the cold weather. yea, it's been one day, but who's counting. bring on the heat!

5. tuesday night, we went to one of the new stores (belk) by our house, to buy brenden some new jeans. there were two ladies walking towards us as we were walking down the main walkways inside to get to his section. he was walking right in front of us. he stops, puts his hands up & says "stop! people getting' in my way!" yea, he says this to the ladies. guess they were taking up more of the isle than he thought they should. we just kept walking... i guess, since he got ALL his looks from his daddy, then he gets the attitude from his momma! just wait till he starts driving.

enjoy the rest of the week!!
