Pillow Pets

A box arrived in the mail today for Keyton and Hal. They have been waiting and waiting for this delivery. Inside the box were two pillow pets. A hippopotamus for Hal ( which she named Hippie) and a panda bear for Keyton ( which he just decided to call dalmatian, because it is black and white). I have never seen my kids so excited about a present before. Immediately, when they saw the box sitting on the front steps, they jumped for joy and said, " It has to be our pillow pets!". Every other child in America may already have one of these stuffed, fluffy pillows, I don't know-- but it sure made my children's day. Thanks Grandma Cheryl. They are awfully cute and extremely soft.


Enough about pillows. Jesse and I were talking today, about how we have noticed that Keyton has started to talk a lot more than ever before. He talks and talks and talks and talks. Jesse asked me if this excessive talking is normal "I think so.",was my reply. Even when we are driving in our van, he sits in the very back and continues to talk, ignoring the fact that the music is drowning him out. Sometimes, I have to stop him after he has been telling me a story that details the events of his day, often because he has added fictitious items that make his day more exciting . Keyton, once told me that he missed the bus after school. He then had to run after the bus to catch it. He jumped on to the side of the bus and was holding on for dear life. Finally, a couple of children on the bus noticed he was hanging on to one of the windows. The bus driver stopped and let him in. After this particular story was done, I told Keyton I was going to have to call the school ( hanging on the bus is not safe) to make sure that an unfortunate event such as this never takes place again. He then told me I couldn't call the school, because all of the teachers and the other staff members had already left, as they all had to go to a wedding.


The house is still up for sale...surprise!
