Boys Vs. Girls

Our Dish Network is out until the repairman gets here on Saturday. So today Noah asked to watch a DVD. We had a huge box of them that my aunt had given us when her kids (two boys and a girl) outgrew them. This morning when Noah got to chose a movie from the box, he chose Cinderella. I figured he would not like it and would be asking for a different movie within minutes of putting it in to play. However, it held his attention and he watched intently until the very end. I was starting to think that there was not that much difference in the way little boys and little girls view things after all.
Near the end of the movie, when the prince goes to Cinderella's house and tries the shoes on the stepsisters then angrily demands to see the other sister (Cinderella) to see if the slipper would fit her, Noah was literally sitting on the edge of his seat. As Cinderella sat down in the chair to try the slipper on, I heard Noah say, "Don't do it...If it fits he'll catch you and take you away with him!"
Oh well, I guess there is a big difference in the way little boys and little girls view things after all.

Night Off

I got a rare treat tonight. Joe stayed home with both boys and gave me the night off. I did not know what to do with myself so I went to the auction. It is evident from the things I bought, that while I was there I kept thinking about my family at home. I don't think I did too bad at the auction tonight. I spent $8.50 and brought home a Lightning McQueen tent for Noah, three board games and one puzzle for Noah, a stroller and nice walker for Jonah, a push along toy for Jonah, a sno-cone machine for Joe, and a candle holder and afghan for myself. Of course some of these things were in box lots and so I had to take the other stuff that came with them. My 'other stuff' consists of two VCR's (I don't know if they work or not), a water hose reel, corn dishes, VCR tape holder, two shoe racks, and a bowling ball and size 10 1/2 bowling shoes in a leather case. I guess now I have something to put on free-cycle! Anyway, I had fun bidding. When I got home, Jonah was asleep. Joe is putting Noah down now and said when he gets done he will watch 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' with me. I can't believe my luck, first a night off, and now I get to watch my favorite movie with my hubby! I really am excited about all of this, but I just read back over what I wrote and am wondering when I got so old and corny.
