So....we went camping last night with our good buds the Fackrells. As soon as we arrived at the campsite, we headed down to the water to play in the river. I noticed that Preston wasn't getting too involved in the fun, so I asked him why. His reponse was "I can't play yet. I don't have sunscreen on." Background info: Lately after I get their pool set up and such at our house, I usually holler, "Do NOT go play in the water until you have sunscreen on!!!!! GOT IT??" I think they got it.
Tonight we went to the bread store outlet where I had a $10 voucher. Basically my goal was to just find 10 items on the dollar rack so as to get the most bang for my buck. The boys were with me, and I noticed that they had mini-bagels, which I pointed out to the kids. They were excited and said they wanted to get them, so I tossed them into the cart. Then a few minutes later I discovered some full-size cinnamon raisin bagels. I showed those to the boys, who seemed a little leery. I asked if they wanted them, and one of them replied, "So....if we get these bagels can we still get the other ones?" You can tell someone has been told once or 11 times that "You can have THIS or THAT.....BUT NOT BOTH!" Also, I think this one was Tanner quote, not actually a Preston quote.
After the bread store we made our way to WinCo. Tanner stayed with Nathan to go run and errand and Preston came with me. He had a grand time counting out apples for me and going through the bulk food section, where we spent a lot of time. And money. One of the things I had to do was re-stock my personal candy supply (I may have a slight addiction). I had gotten gummy bears, black jelly beans, and taffy for myself when Preston picked out a candy he wanted. For a split second I debated telling him that he didn't need candy.....but then I realized the irony there. He left the bulk section with a bag of orange slice candies (his choice) which he plans to share with his brother.
I called Preston "Sweet thing" last night, and he, trying to be funny, said it back to me. Except it came out "Sweet Sing," since he hasn't quite mastered the "TH" sound. It's pretty awesome.
