First things first.
The Texas Longhorns played football last night and won. Woohoo! Texas Fight!
Now, today, I had to run some errands, including the grocery store.
With the boys & my dad.
We only needed a few items, so we weren't there long.
But, as I'm headed down an aisle,
out of the corner of my eye,
I see a coffee bean go flying through the air.
And giggles.
Boyish giggles.
My kids are at it again.
On the coffee aisle, you can find whole beans left in the the filter of the grinding machine thingy.
And my boys rescue those abandoned beans to use as weapons against each other, pummeling them through the air, behind my back.
But, I caught them at it and lost my cool.
And, they lost their "good grocery store reward" where they get quarters to buy goodies at the front of the store machines when we're done.
Bad boys.
Another coffee bean flying through the air (aka: a surprise out of nowhere) came in the form of a new grill!
An early Christmas gift for the family.
From Home Depot.
I took out the third row of seats in my car and folded up the second seat...and was amazed by how much room I had! (also amazed by the amount of crumbs and dog hair I'd accumulated!)
And now the grill has a new home, in our backyard.
And we're going to use it for the first time today.
If you hear in the news about an explosion in Texas,
well, that'd be us, I bet.
Wish us luck.
