You remember... the square, arch or round? Then they go somewhere and show you something? Well, today, we watched the guys change the streetlight globes. (Gave them a spit and polish too). And yes, they change every globe regardless, and they just throw out the used ones.
we were sitting in the living room, doug and i, while chaeli was playing pinball on the wii with my aunt.
out of nowhere, we hear chaeli yell out, "ALRIGHT! ROCK 'N ROLL!"
rock. and. roll.
i have no idea where she got that from

at the zoo, chaeli went up to the educational table, which are always manned by volunteers.
she stood there for a few seconds and then asked the lady, very loudly i might add, "DID YOU KILL ALL THESE BUTTERFLIES AND BUGS? JUST TO SHOW IT ON THIS TABLE???"
ack!

for such little person, she clogs up the toilet the MOST in our household.

"We are all magical angels. When we need energy to fight enemies, we have them. When we don't need to fight our enemies, we can remove the energy and put it in a cup. That is called the hotsugaroil. Because it looks like sugar in hot oil."
Can I have a cup of hotsugaroil please?
- the only problem with having my closet now clean and organized is that i find myself wanting to sit in it. for no particular reason. i want to just go in and plop myself in the middle of the floor. just to marvel at the beauty of how being clean and organized really revitalizes me. of course, there is still that half of a shelf and my cd collection that needs to be done. maybe i'll get some of it down tonight.
- we went to cathy's little M's 5yr birthday party yesterday. it was fun! the kids had such a blast. cath had hired a clown. and when the invitation first mentioned about a clown, i was a bit concerned. i have an irrational fear of clowns. not a phobia, per se. but they have always given me the creeps. i was happy with this clown, though. she was whimsical and cute and really knew how to create good chemistry with the kids. and the children did love her! not only did they get a ballon twisted into something they loved, she put on a great magic show that starred a cute rabit in the end. the kids got to sit on a chair have hold the rabbit on their lap for about 30 seconds each. and then, after lunch, each of them got to have their face painted of their choice. chaeli was so crazy about the clown that she said, before going to bed, that she hopes she will meet the clown again someday.
- i'm hungry. it's a weird kind of hunger. i feel like i can eat a lot today. which isn't good, really. because i know that if i allow myself to go nuts, i'll feel like complete crap at the end of the day. but, i have brought some healthy snacks so hopefully, i can stay good.

how often does halloween fall on a saturday night? not often enough!
it was so nice not to have to race home from work along with all the other parents doing the same thing, thereby making rush hour even crazier. and then, not having to rush dinner to leave time for trick-or-treating.
and then, it was just so very nice not having to try and rush the whole bedtime routine knowing that it's a school night.
what made the night even better was that we got to spend it with friends. di and rick hosted a little halloween party which ended up being just as fun for the adults as for the kids.
so we ordered chaeli some chocolate ice cream after dining at a local german restaurant this past friday night.
about halfway through, chaeli starts to moosh up her ice cream.
my mom asks, "chaeli, what are you doing?"
chaeli mumbles, "i'm making food."
"you're making food?"
"no - i'm making POO!"
so exactly when did my sweet little girl turn into little miss disgustington?
but... if it's even possible, i love her even more then when she was first born.
She does complain when we have to take the car.
