Computer Literacy

Okay, I now have my computer back and it is better than ever! I am soooo excited. I replaced the motherboard, complete with a new processor and fan, and I added 1gig of memory. (Did you get that I did it?) I am so proud of myself. I learned a lot about computers and how they all fit together and I realized that it is just a pretty complicated puzzle. I like puzzles. I also added 4 new USB ports so that we can add all our peripherals on as we please. My computer runs like a dream and it is soooooooo fast. Yeah! By the way, this is what my new motherboard looks like. Cool, huh?

Quotes

Sam: in the car "It smells like throw up in here." Leah: I think it smells like brownies."

Troy: "My feet are the bad guys." Said while kicking his baby sister.

Things I've Learned...

Children are very trusting. Leah caught me eating a handfull of M&M's. She asked me what I was eating and in an effort to avoid sharing with her I told her I was eating "beans". At first she didn't believe me but I insisted. Today she has asked for some "beans" about three different times.
--Shaunie learned that humans are mammals, but Leah had a hard time grasping the idea. She ended up just calling her dad a "manimmal" instead.
--When Leah says "Mom, I'll hold it for you." She really means "Mom, I'll take that from you and eat it."
--You can take pictures of pictures with your digital camera (goodbye scanner!)

Nakie

We were on our way to get Sam from preschool a couple weeks ago (when the weather was nice) and a neighbor down the street was washing his car. He didn't have his shirt on because the sun was still pretty warm. Leah pointed at him as we walked by and said "Look Mommy, he is nakie!" She couldn't believe that someone would go out without clothing. How wrong! I tried to explain that he was just hot so he wasn't wearing his shirt, but she insisted that he was 'nakie'. Then she asked as if she had found the only solution, "Where's his mommy?"

GO to BED!

Last night we were coming home from an errand and Leah was really upset. She was missing her old, brown car seat (yes, the fact that it was brown was very important). She was whining like we had taken away her most beloved doll. Oh the injustice of giving her brown car seat away! She loved that car seat and now that was all she wanted in the whole world. After a while of listening to her whine Sam piped up, a little fatigued of her complaints and said, "Leah, just go to bed!" In quick retort and without skipping a beat, Leah replied "But I will just dream about my brown car seat!"
