Sleepless in Seattle

We arrived in Seattle around 10:30 yesterday morning! We headed to the hotel, which is very nice, then Scott raced off to his first interview and I met with a coordinator. I would post pics, but silly me, I forgot the cable to put the pics on the computer. I was the lucky one, I was able to retreat to the room in the afternoon and take a nice nap. Scott, being awake since 4am had to suffer through the day and be on his top game. After he finished, we took a nice trek through rush hour traffic to see how bad it was----nothing compared to LA. We were able to look at a couple of areas then we headed out to dinner with a college friend. They took us to a lovely spot--the Purple Cafe. Very fun, very yummy food, great company! It was so nice to have friends to make us comfortable while we are here. We called it a night around 10pm and tried to get some sleep but we have a lot on our minds I suppose! We both got about 5 hours of shuteye I think. Scott is off for day 2 of interviews and I will be meeting with an agent to show me around Seattle. Of course I will be out looking for souvenirs for the kids today too! Love and miss you Wes, Kelly, and Chelsie---we'll be home soon, have fun!

Quotable Quips and Laughable Life

I decided that I wanted to add a small section with little things that my kids have said or done over the years that I never want to forget and I think are worth sharing. Unfortunately I was much better at writing these things down a bit late in the game....Chelsie steals the show here a bit. If only I could remember all those things I thought I'd never forget. I hope you take my challenge to write down all those things you hope to pass on one day.

When Chelsie was about 2 she had been jumping on my brand new couch, so I promptly told her to stop jumping on the nice furniture. Her response was very logical. "Then where's the mean furniture?"

While camping in the Sequoias, the entrance sign read, "1 bear incident this week...." Kelly mispronounced it as 1 bear accident....later in the bathroom, Chelsie noticed wet spots on the floor, and announced, "This must be where the bear had the accident."

We had a family home evening on choosing the right, and we thought Chelsie understood but when we asked her she said, "Yes, don't choose the left!"

When Kelly was in the 5th grade, she needed to use the classroom phone to call me. She dialed 9 to get an outside line, then she had to dial 1 because I have a long distance cell phone number, but she accidently hit the 1 twice. When the 911 dispatcher answered she was scared and just hung up. 5 minutes later the front office called the classroom stating that 3 sheriffs had arrived ready to take action and were wanting to know who called and why. Now it was by sheer coincidence that this was a morning that there was a prison breakout, so officers were on high alert. Kelly was embarrassed then, but can laugh about it now!

When Wes was about 4, he used to tell everyone that he was going to marry his friend Elizabeth, and that they were going to have 16 kids, and maybe a car.

When Chelsie was 3 1/2 we told her she needed to learn to spell her name. She responded, "I already know....A L I Z A."
(That was her best friend who taught her)

I was talking with my girls about the weather, and Kelly said, that stupid beaver was wrong, spring is not around the corner. Chelsie then chimed in, it's not a beaver, it's a warthog. Clearly I have failed them.
