Yup... we've still got it...

So the other night I sent Amy a text along these lines...
 Me: "Guess what I'm wearing..."
Amy: "Your footie pajamas!"

Yup we've still got it. That mental brain wave connection as sisters. There for a while I was worried we might have lost it seeing as there is great distance between us, but nope, I was wrong. We've still got it.

A minor note about pie crusts: Michael and I were driving down the road the other day. I told him that I was thinking about making apple pie that night while he was at work. He then very intellectually replied, "Who will be the master of rolling out the pie crusts for you?" I of course had thought of this and thought that maybe by some small chance, I might be able to do it. Until he asked me this. "Who rolled out the pie crusts for you before I came along?" To which I replied with a pouty lip "Amy :(" I realized I can make great pie crust but I must have someone to roll it out for me. Moral of the story, I can never make pie alone.

Thought of the day...

Thought of the day.
I wish I had one of these.... just like old times.




So I could put in mine and Michael's soon to be apartment. It would feel like 10 or 12 years ago. Not to mention I would get awesome hair. Something along these lines.... but much older of course.




Amy and I used to have inflatable chairs. They were fun. I'm not sure if they were more fun or equal to fun of our bean bag chairs, banana chairs, or the old couch with the huge hole in it, but they were fun. As with anything they had their pros and cons...

Pros:
* Bright and colorful. Who doesn't like opaque?
* What kid doesn't want to spend an hour blowing up their furniture?
* Cool concept.
* Bouncy is cool to any 10 year old.
* They came with a fancy removable head rest.
* #1 PRO = SIMPLY AWESOME!!

Cons are:
* Adam jumped all over them, causing them to get holes, causing contention, causing an upset mother.
* Couldn't sit all that close to the fireplace. Plastic and fire don't go well together I guess.
* Holes seemed to be problem and we only had packing tape to fix it.
* Took up tons and tons of room.
* Wearing shorts and sitting on an inflatable chair = uncomfortable leg stickage.
* They were really big so when you sat in it, you sat alone and far away from the person next to you. In my case, really far from Amy.

They made for a great present and are just another reason why Momma Linda are Poppa Ed are the coolest parents ever. I loved mine, and really wish it were still around. All the good toys always break, but that's life I guess.

I think the words of Amy sum it up nicely...
"Let's be honest - they were like a dream come true, just like our doodle bears."

Doodle bears..... those were the days.
