Bits and Bots, some corrections
It has been brought to my attention by my sister that I messed up yesterday when I said how long my parents had been married; contrary to what I said, they've been married 32 years, not 31, oops. Sorry about that.
Also (on a sillier note of correction) the pot I linked yesterday was red, and it should have been blue. I dream of blue Le Creuset cookware the way Gabe dreams of tigers and books, the way Bits dreams of tinkerbell and polar bears, the way well, you get the point.
On a sad note, our thoughts and prayers are going out to our Lowell, Ma family as they mourn the loss of their patriarch today. Momma Sukey's dad passed away yesterday, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. We wish we were able to be there to help in someway, but since we can't we'll be thinking of all of them while they go through all of this.
Now I'm off to get ready to take pizza to Gabe's classroom for lunch-it's the second to last day of school and we thought we'd let the kiddos know what a GREAT job they did this year by bringing them pizza for lunch (and as a side note, I never experienced the last week of first grade; I had the chicken pox horribly)

Bits and Bots
A little bit of this, a little bit of that. I've got a few things on my mind but not enough for it to be separate blog posts...
*We had a good weekend; even if Geo worked the whole darn time. We went yard saling and I found the most amazing deal-I got a 4.5 qt cast iron dutch oven for three dollars! THREE DOLLARS!
Geo's relieved because now he doesn't have to buy me the god awful expensive one I've been begging for (seen here) though I would definitely not return it if it was given to me as a gift ha ha
*Today is Geo's grandparents Alice and Harvey's 58th wedding anniversary-the people in Geo's family stay married forever, which is pretty awesome if you ask me. Geo's dad and step mom just celebrated 22 years, his grandparents have 58 years today, his aunt and uncle are in the mid 20's his mom and step dad are celebrating 25 years later this month, and his grandparents Witkowski are celebrating 60 years later this year!! My own parents have been married 31 years as well...Geo and I are the babies in this family as far as marriage goes; we'll be celebrating ten years in July.
*I've been trying to stress to the kids that good things happen to good people; this weekend they saw it in action. Gabe has struggled to find friends since moving here-it's hard to move halfway through the school year. This weekend, however, a new family moved into our building and one of the family members is a cute little tow headed seven year old named T. He and Gabe have hit it off famously and they actually have a playdate set for later today (though they'll be playing video games rather than legos or something ha ha) I told him that after all these long months without a best buddy it seems that he's finally found one. He was incredibly happy and I have it on good authority that T was pretty darn happy too!
*SarahAnne asked me very seriously yesterday where robots lived; she was very concerned that they lived in our building. She's incredibly weird.
*Thursday Bits was very VERY cross with me (I don't remember why now, I probably wouldn't let her put lipstick on the cat or some such business) She walked up to me with her arms crossed in front of her and said "That's it, I'm not living with you ANYMORE! I'm going to go live with *pause* a family of *longer pause* squirrels who will treat me nicer" Then she lost it laughing. Apparently the thought of living with squirrels was funnier than remembering how cross she was with me.
*School ends on Wednesday, however we'll be just as busy for the next two weeks-Bits starts dance camp this afternoon with Grandma Dyan and next week GABE has dance camp with Grandma. Gabe is quite cross that he isn't doing soccer camp first, but I haven't been able to find a summer soccer league yet-I'm looking kid, I'm looking!
and on that note, hope you had a lovely weekend and have a great week!

Friday Five: Five Funny Kids Sayings
Kids say the funniest things (and they're often incredibly cute) In no particular order, five things that have made me laugh out loud this week as said by Gabe and Bits:
Gabe kissed me last night and said "Oh I love you, my big beautiful tulip"
Bits was sorting through coins and picked out a nickel and a quarter; she looked at them, looked at me and said "alright, which one of these is the quarter? I need a quarter for gum and YOU need to tell me which is which"
At dinner last night, we were talking about our old cat Jax. Gabe smiled and said "Oh Jax, like jackass...three the movie. Or jackass the movie. Ha ha. I said Jackass but it's a movie and not a bad word"
At the allergist yesterday morning, Bits had to have five little needles in her skin for the second round of testing. After the shot, she had little blood spots on her arm. She touched them and said "Oh, these are blood polka dots" and laughed her little head off.
and finally, number five...(which I am going to admit, isn't my kiddo, but from my godson Liver Lips when he was little...)
When Liver Lips (aka Cameron) was itty bitty he couldn't say Chrissi and George, instead he called us Tiss and Jew and would sing a little song about it. He also used to call a hammer a hamburger and none of us is quite sure why, however to this day it's hilarious (and boy, I hope he doesn't read the blog or he's gonna be quite irate with Aunt Tiss :P)
