which doesn't seem like such a bad idea. the man with the yellow hat gets to do very exciting things, like ride in a submarine, go into space via a nasa rocket, etc. wes is always like 'cool, why don't i get to do that?' b/c it's a cartoon wes!
& wes *even* offered up himself to dress up like the man with the yellow hat for halloween if addy decided to be curious george...which she did want to be until i finally found a monkey costume (old navy, $22, btw) & tried it on her. i reviewed what i had reviewed with her for a week now: do you want to be a pirate? do you want to be a doggie? (those are costumes that a friend lent us so far) & she keeps saying 'ah ah' which in addy speak means curious george. so i load everyone up after naps yesterday to take a peek at old navy stuff & voila there it was! in the dressing room--which is very stressful with a 3 year old & a 13 month old who eats everything off floors--adeline suddenly said 'no ah ah; perrraa-at' which translated again means, i don't want to be curious george anymore, i want to be a pirate. ???
fine, whatever. but that also means you don't get those tights either b/c i don't feel like waiting in line for 20 minutes to buy a pair of tights. ha HA! b/c doesn't every visit to old navy end in a forever long line at the registers?!

so what else is going on with the gerbicks?
well, adeline has decided she likes to play & share with baby, but only sometimes. she has certain cars amelia can play with & makes amelia a pile of legos that amelia is rationed. when amelia looks desperate for something to do, adeline will sometimes jump in & grab something very non-exciting, like a ribbon that was tied around new kitchen towels (thanks, sue!) & that will keep amelia busy for nearly 20 minutes (how does adeline know these things?!).
& i have secret plans to stalk the gap at the polaris mall for *my jeans* which are the boyfriend jeans, in the correct size, the style without the ripped holes & such (i can rip my own jeans, if necessary. besides, holes let cold air in! it was would be fantastic if they would line these jeans with a thin layer of flannel or micro fleece, actually...). to make my winter shopping complete, i have to find a sweater that is very warm, a fleece shirt, & a pair of jeans (i am substituting the jeans for sweatpants...another favorite of mine. but i seem to get bleach on every single pair i own, so what's the point of buying a new pair? none of them fit me any more either, but who cares? they're sweatpants; they're supposed to be a bit baggy. more comfy.). so i have given up not shopping this season--those jeans i just wayyyy toooo enticing. plus all the sales. i would rather not get starbucks or eat out--which we have been *very* good about the past 6 weeks. (go budget, go). but these stalking shopping expeditions must be when kids are happy...when is that?
i was reading up on our life last year & *my goodness* it felt like it was just yesterday i was reading about. which rekindles my desire to keep writing about the mundane things that go on in our lives...so in a year or two or ten i can remember them.
yea, a post about not much...but i'm waiting for my ibuprofen to kick in with bio freeze & a heating pad on my neck & there's not much else i can do right now, so...picking up a child is *out of the question* but i must go sit on the floor now, lest amelia call children services to say her mama is ignoring her.

In my defense only having one outfit to wear would make mornings really easy. Shopping would also be a no brainer. Also, how can you deny the hat!
I like the shopping list! I'm stalking Gap jeans too.... I tried to substitute with a pair from Ann Taylor Loft, but it's not going to work. They're in the return pile. And a new warm winter sweater is a staple! :)
