I forgot all about Science night last night after dinner... ARGhhh... Robb was going to help me out but I think we both forgot. We were going to do the dancing cornstarch/water mixture on a speaker with the boy. He's not available tonight or tomorrow so I guess we'll do it next week instead.
However I did complete the bridesmaid dress alterations and some curtains. Then Meri got home from work and while she ate, she and I went through her new year book from last year, that just got passed out yesterday.
Leon found some masking tape and made himself into a ninja with it as well as wrapped up the furniture and our legs....
Bring me that roll!!!
He was so adorable and creative with it that I won't add the tape to the list of things he'll have to pay me back for someday...
:) I don't really have a list, but once Robb and I tallied up how much one of the kids cost us in one year alone, birth not included. yikes!!! That was a bad year...
We'll just pretend that's an orthodontist bill or college...
When Ryan was born, I had started a little diary and only kept that up for about 1 day. But in it, I did write down how much everything baby related had cost so far.
Kind of a time capsule thing. NOT a bill!!! But he took it as that when he found it much later.
Hmmm.. If he wants to pay us back, then okey dokey!
Anyway, I don't know where I was going with this post today. But I'll wrap it all up now before it sounds like I'm a vindictive mother.
So here is Leon this morning, with Oreo, the neighborhood cat that every kid claims for their own.
Quote from another kid down the street who yelled to us one morning when Leon was playing with Oreo at the bus stop. "HEY! SEND OREO OVER HERE! I've known Oreo ALL MY LIFE!"
Yeah yeah... then why isn't Oreo over there instead of HERE licking Leon's hand... I didn't yell back but I COULD have. Oreo spent some time the next day over with the other kid before the bus came and Leon was all out of sorts that day.
Actually that was the first time we learned the cat's name! Before then it was "friend".
I'm just glad Oreo hung out on our sidewalk today. Whew! I could do with less tears this week...
NOW I'm wrapping it up! With masking tape.

I hope Leon didn't lose too many hairs on his head from the masking tape. Curious though as to whether it works well on your legs? I do get tired of shaving! I read once (years ago) that it costs $100,000 to raise a child. It must be 5 x that by now - yikes!
I think with the cost of kids you just have to decide you love 'em enough to suck up the financial investment. (But you might want to remind them of the $$$ you invested in them before they slap you in the cheap nursing home that smells like urine!)
I figure it I hadn't spent money on my kids, I'd have just wasted it on vacations, and nights out on the town, and a housekeeping service... damn, but I guess I'll never regret them!
Cat treats in his backpack would solve that dilemma. Just sayin.
