Today we went shopping for some gifts for Kapitonas’ birthday. We already knew what we’re looking for and what we’re getting, so it was pretty easy. But I think this year was the last year that we could go all together with kids, pick the stuff up and put it in the bottom of the car (they were in the cart, the big area) without kids seeing it. We had a few things in there and they had no idea. I think it helped that the whole time we were in the toys section, but still.
Kapitonas will be turning 4 on Monday. His birthday party is on Saturday.
So when we were done shopping, we took the kids out and let them run for a while while I went and payed for everything. I’m sure they would’ve seen it all at the register as they both love to help out. By helping out they put all the stuff on the register.
Anyway, I thought it was kind of funny! Who says you can’t take kids shopping for their gifts?!
Even though we knew what we were getting him, we still asked him what he wanted. And all the times he would tell us CARS!! Just any type of cars. The kid is obssesed with cars. We probably have at least a 100 of Hotwheels/Matchbox cars. And in my book, that’s more than enough.
And every time he gets a new Hotwheel, the kid is in heaven. I mean literally. Like today, we received a box from his grandma and there was a set of 5 Matchbox cars. When he unwrapped it and saw that it was cars, OMG, I’m not kidding you, he WAS in 7th Heaven. I think it was the first time that I saw a smile like that. LOL (excuse the messy background)
Unsaved blog and earthquake
So the other day I wrote this long blog about an earthquake we had. But then something happened and the blog did not get saved and it was all gone. There is this automatic save thing where it’s supposed to be saving every minute or so, but I guess that didn’t work either.
Anyway, I wrote about the earthquake, about what we felt, where we were, how the kids reacted to it. This was their first earthquake afterall. I will have to write it all out again, one day.
Until then, here is an article about it.
I’m sure everyone who has kids, has already been through that or will go through that.
Yesterday I started cleaning out my daughters closet and I felt very very sad putting all her small clothes away. It really hit me that I don’t have a baby anymore. She is already 2. Although in my hear I’ll always have 2 babies.
I’ve already put her infant clothes away a while ago. Yesterday I went through the ones up to 18 months and 2T. Some of the 2T’s still fit her, but most of them went into a box. How sad!! I don’t think I would get a lot for them as they are all used, but little is better then none.
Now I just have to figure out what I want to do with them. Most of them are in very good shape. All the ones that had stains in and I couldn’t get it out, I threw it away. So now, do I try and sell them and get some extra cash for her new clothes, or just give it away?
Oh and before you tell me that I should hold on to them incase we have more kids, we’re not. We are done. Yeah, sure, some days I want to hold this little tiny baby who’s head fits into my palm. But other days we’re so sure we’re done. And yes, we are done. Two is more then enough for us.
So, now I need to find home for all those cute little girl outfits.
And one of these days I’ll have to do the same thing with my son’s closet. 
Anyway, that’s whats been on my mind lately.
