Today after work Jamie put together Mack’s tricycle.
Sean was a very good helper.

The kids played outside for a bit.

Mack copies everything Sean does, so since Sean was wearing his helmet, Mack wanted to wear his too.

“But I want to clip it together myself”.
Mack’s going through a phase of wanting to do everything on his own.
Also – he hates the word NO. It’s going to be fun.
Gotta love the terrible 2’s coming.

Not sure why Thing #1 was mad, but he looks so cute when he’s mad.
He loves the word disgusting. For example overheard yesterday:
Jamie gave me a kiss goodbye as I was leaving to go to knit night.
Sean says “Eww, that’s disgusting. Daddy’s not allowed kissing mommy”.
I almost peed myself laughing. Kids. They crack me up.

Lost my cell phone at some point yesterday while I was out with my mom. I lost this phone the week of new years and it turned up in the lost & found at my local super market. I was doing some groceries there a few days later and asked by chance if they found a cell, and I apparently asked the right person, and it was there (not in their lost & found box though, where they had previously checked when I had called). I last used it on yesterday, at another supermarket to call Jamie to ask him a question. I haven’t seen it since. When I called it, it just rings & rings and rings… It’s not in my car (my car is spotless as I took everything out of it when I got it cleaned (full interior shampooing) yesterday. I re-traced my steps but no one at any of the places I’d been to have seen my phone. It’s not in my mother’s car either (which we were in yesterday). I put a hold on my phone. They cannot see if anyone has made any calls on my phone until I get my statement next month (I don’t understand how in this digital age, they cannot check my records – if a credit card company can see if any purchases were made after you last saw your credit card, how could a phone company NOT see your transaction history?). I think this phone was meant to be gone. I hated it. I really wanted a new one. My contract isn’t up until November 2011, so they can’t give me any deals on a new phone until November of this year (it used to be 18 months before the end of your contract, but now it’s 12 months before the end). I found an old phone that seems to be still working. I have a car charger for it, so it’s been charging for a bit. I’m going to have to buy a wall plug (I have a hook up for cell parts) and will use this phone until I can get a new on in the fall. I really don’t care, I barely use my phone anyhow. It’s basically for emergencies, etc. I am not a phone person. Never have been.

An update on some crochet stuff, my Babette Square tally is: Version 1: 91 squares and Version 2: 37 squares. It’s coming along! I’m having fun making the little squares.
