Grocery Shopping Spree

I don't know about anybody else....but, when we go to the grocery store we can only ever afford the bare necessities. We always have to tell Bryson he can't buy certain things that he wants. And, that's heart breaking. Well, a few days ago we had the opportunity to go to the store and have a hay day. We got to go on a shopping spree. We literally spent over $300 in 12 minutes. It was the funnest thing ever!! My sister Lana was staying at our house so she got in on the action too. Lana, the boys, and I ran off with one cart and got mostly junk food and random stuff. I let Bryson buy whatever he wanted. And, he was SO happy. And, Pete ran off with another cart and filled up on all the healthy food. So, we came out with a good mix. We filled up TWO grocery carts. I've always been jealous of people walking around the store who have one whole cart full. I felt so blessed to have two full carts! We had so much food it wouldn't all fit in our trunk. It was packed all around the boys car seats. It was such a nice feeling. Here's are big pile of food.

When we got home we didn't know what to eat. We had so many things to choose from! Everyone was in such a happy mood the whole rest of the night. Who knew food could make people so happy?

Here's the big ol' long receipt. I think I'm going to hang it on my wall!

I'm so grateful for this wonderful blessing. We have been so blessed this whole week.

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
