Home at last!

I got home on Wednesday night from the trade show, and both kids and my husband were all asleep. I got to kiss them all though, which was wonderful.
I have been told all of the new things that Kaitlyn has been doing, but it is really fun to see it in action. I took the kids over to a friend's house, actually, it's a classmate of James, named Nate. We took our plasma cars and all of the kids at this house decided to ride theirs too. Take my kids, Nate and his brother Jake, then some neighbor boys riding plasma cars in the driveway, and now we have a party. ;)
They were all going so fast around and around it was so funny. It was especially fun to watch Kaitlyn ride on hers, since she was only sitting on hers when I left. She has gotten really good at pushing herself a long on it now. It's very cute.
She sure couldn't keep up with all those boys though. For some reason, all 6 of them were trying to ride their cars in the brick walkway to the house instead of the driveway. Total traffic jam! There were a few tears shed by Kaitlyn when the boys would ram into her as if to say, "Get out of my way little baby!" Awwww. She was overwhelmed a few times. Once I talked them all into staying in the driveway instead of the brick walkway, things drastically improved. ;)
Yesterday, also, James threw in some new sayings that I find particularly funny. The predictable one that he says is "oh pickles" from the TV show Higglytown Heros. It's so funny though, and it's worth noting. The other one that cracks me up is this: "That's the SPIRIT!" What? Where on Earth did he learn that? I think I'll probably have to chalk that one up to the Methodist School. Ha.
Last night Nathan and I were trying to teach James the cheer, "We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit, how about you?" but it didnt' work. He just looked at us as if we were nuts- which happens more than I'd like it to happen. Ha ha.
After we wrapped up dinner, Nathan was having a talk with James about why he couldn't have a snack. He was squatted down to talk to James in the eye, told him something and then asked James, "Did you hear what I said?"
James replied with his finger held up in the air, "Um, could you tell me one more time?"
So Daddy told him again, and then asked again if he heard what he said.
James said, "10 more minutes then it's time for bath." Nooooo, let's try this again... the third time was the charm! Too funny.
I guess every time I ask him to repeat what I said and it's about bath time, I need to make sure he's actually telling me the truth! ;)
