Brayden has been saving up his allowance for the last 3 MONTHS to get this Science Kit from Target. Poor kid! I did feel terrible using his every last cent on this thing we just knew he would play with twice & be done. I guess it was a good lesson for him, though. He worked and he finally earned enough, even though at times he wanted to give up. 3 months is like an eternity to a 5 year old. Sure enough, it was a total hit the first 2 days, and now it is collecting dust as we speak. Urg! Makes me more sad than him though! He's already onto the next big save-up!
While the boys were camping, I got to hang out with my family. My Dad, Step Mom, and my sisters went to lunch and then the new mall. My family may be slightly dysfunctional but BOY are they all pretty hilarious. It started with my Dad & brother calling my old cell phone number to wish me a Happy Brithday. Well, my Dad doesn't just say it...He sings it, full on, the entire song, and added some nicknames & personal bits in between. Oh, and he calls from his bathroom so it was like a megaphone in this poor girl's ear. My brother was a little unsettled after he called the same number and 
wished her a Happy Birthday, this time she just HUNG UP! He was a little caught off guard, so what else would he do but call her back again?! Yes, for real! this time he left a lovely message of Brithday Greetings. Then he called my step mom to ask why I was so upset with him on my birthday. So funny. Then at lunch, Stef decides to give us some random "facts" about human eyes, nose and ears are the same size from birth & never grow. We were all hysterically laughing for a solid 10 minutes...as we looked at eachothers full grown features & pictured them on one scary looking newborn! Thanks for the laughs, guys!!

I loved that Opposite Day comment. Im gonna start thinking that when my prayer request comes in the opposite of what I want. You snuck out too quick from RS. I never get to visit with you. Thank goodness for blogging. BTW - everyones family is dysfunctional, just great that we can laugh our way through it.

How cute that he saved all his money! Remember when ALL you thought about was that one toy you wanted or getting a special treat after a day of shopping with mom? To him, there is no better thing he could spend that money on!
Hey I just did a quick post with the info on my blog, but the Temple picture company will be back at the San Tan Costco May 3-10
Your boys are just too cute Chels. Really im gealous, I need one of my own. My nefews are also saving up money for one thing or another and your right 3 months is as eternity. Hope you guys are doing good.
