Random Tuesday Thoughts

Grocery shopping with Bug can be kind of fun. Sure, it takes longer and I typically go to a store that’s a bit farther down the road because they have child-size carts but he really loves it. Last night after day one back at work, he and I spent more than an hour in the store. It was relaxing in an odd sort of way. Then as we were walking to the check out a store worker passed us who had a patch over his eye and Bug announced he just saw a pirate.

I’m co-chairing our adoption agency’s gala this year and am looking for silent auction items. Any ideas on some interesting/unique things you’ve seen at silent auctions?

When I was on the Cape, Bug and I went for a walk. Someone asked me for directions. (I’m terrible with directions…don't know north from south and a friend once said I have a negative sense of direction.) BUT…this time…the woman asked me for directions to the beach and those, my friend, I could give in detail. As she was leaving, I thanked her for asking me because it’s the only location I could have directed her to.

  1. Nothing like seeing a pirate at the grocery store! I love kids and the way they see the world. And I'm sorry, I am no help to you whatsoever with your auction - but good luck with that! :)

  2. How big is the auction going to be?

    I love that the lady asked you for directions to the place you could send her. How funny. :)

  3. My boys are bummed they can't ride in the race cars at the grocery - now they have to walk. I would think a Pirate would make shopping much more adventurous!
    Good luck on your auction!

  4. I love it when the kids bring something to your attention with totally a different fun take that I would NEVER have thought of.
