Finally, a day without snow

Caleb was pretty surprised it all melted today, except for our snowman. I told him the little guy must like us a lot to stick around after all the other snow was gone. All of a sudden he had a much greater affinity for him. We got out around lunch time today and ran a couple errands, mostly looking for Caleb some new jeans, since he still wears holes in the right knee. Yup, only the right knee. That is the one he "scoots" on while he plays cars and trains. Caleb informed us at Chick-Fil-A that he didn't want to play in the playplace because it was too loud (huh??), but he was more than happy to sit and eat his ice cream (in place of a toy --love that!)... for 20 minutes. Sheesh. We had time to run in Ross and I found 3 pairs of jeans for $5.50 and $6.50 each! I guess it was a successful mission. I ran to make a couple visits while the boys had quiet time. When I got home, I threw together some delicious (if not loaded with sodium) chicken and rice soup. Well, Joe and I thought it was delicious. Caleb spent an entire hour trying to figure out exactly how much of the bowl he had to eat to earn his dessert. He did eventually eat most of the bowl, even though it was stone cold. Now, off to bed to read a little and be excited for worship with my family tomorrow!
