Narbles

You know those toys you can buy at Target or Toys R' Us with the tunnels and slides meant for marbles? I used to have one that I shared with my brothers; hours of fun. We bought something similar to that (I say similar because it slightly different in the sense that you need a degree in rocket science to put together!!) about 6 months ago. Once you followed the intensive guide to sliding the pieces and creating a layout, you were assured hours of fun; just like when you were little. Now that months have passed, the marble set has been dismantled and the pieces are ... I have no clue where. Jamie's facination lies with the 'narbles'. In fact, we had a choking scare a few months back where we feared he swallowed one. Turns out he was probably feeding of excess excitment over the panic and said yes, indeed he ingested the 'narble.
As I sit here now, I'm hoping he'll forget about the 'narbles he asked for earlier. After the incident, Mike put the marbles away and now we don't know where they're at. Just understand, Jamie is a persistent child. And yes, I've tried to correct how he says marbles :P Ahh but it's too cute sometimes.

Lets build a beanstalk

Just bits and pieces of mine and Jamie's conversation on the way home from preschool...

"Mama, let's make a beanstalk,"
"Okay, how do you do that?" I asked, to prompt him to think.
"You use beans," then after a long pause, "and you put them in the dirt,"
"uh huh...you're right"
"like trees...and grass,"
"that's right, like trees and grass."
"and cars."
I turned and looked at his grinning face.
"No, I don't think you can grow cars from seeds..."
"A house? With the rain?"
"I wish."

I got a date!

This weekend my mom offered to take Jamie with her while she visited my grandma. Mike and I decided it would be a good time to use up our gift certificates to Claim Jumpers and Regal Cinemas.
My boss only scheduled me until 3pm today so Mike and I agreed upon leaving as soon as I got home and started our long drive towards Tukwila. Claim Jumpers is a western style restaurant with steaks, ribs and rotessersori chicken... melt-in-your-mouth chicken, I might add. Once we were stuffed we headed out towards Fry's Electronics in Renton. I wanted to check out their prices for Microsoft Home Office software and pick up an extra battery charger for my camera. We also browsed through the aisles of video games; PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii's. I think Mike is still settled upon his PS3 but he was musing about the benefits of playing a wii with Jamie. At this point, we thought it would be wise if we left as soon as possible.
We decided to watch Juno and got to the theatre about a half hour early. This is really a cute film... I've heard it compared to Knocked Up but tamer. Mike even seemed to enjoy the clever dialogue between the charactors and funny/embarrassing moments. All and all, it was a fantastic date. :)
