Tonight we went to Olive Garden for dinner as a family. Someone gave us a very useful gift card and it was wonderful. The kids have really gotten a lot more....peaceful since Kevin has joined us here in Kansas. After a very nice dinner we went to Target to get some cute clearance clothes I had seen the other day.
Well as Havilah and I were shopping she could not pass clothes or shoes that were on the floor without stopping to pick them up. She would exclaim "Ooops someone drowped it" and she would set her own selections down and neatly pick up the items and place them back neatly on the shelf or rack. What other 2 year olds do that? I have raised a neat freak. Needless to say....Havilah loves shopping but it can take a while to get from one isle to the next.
And as for our little Spanish speaking Owen... He has really been into wanting to know what the Spanish words are for many of the things we talk about. Well tonight on the drive home he was asking about what the different Spanish words for colors, when I answered five in a row right he threw in Purple and I didn't know the answer so he just made a word up that sounded Spanish. If I didn't know better I would have thought he knew what he was talking about. He is so funny. And just in case you need to know translator Owen's word for purple, it is Sudante.
Liam is referred to as "doll baby" here a lot. I guess it is a southern term for too cute:) He really is getting into this whole moving thing. He will be crawling soon. We move Saturday!!!!! We have been blessed by our friends here who have opened their homes and hearts during these transition weeks.
