Red Wet Rat

We had a nice visit up at Matt's folks on Thursday and Friday. It was memorable in that we didn't forget anything when we left (at least not after we left for the second time). We always forget something. We accidentally left the kids' sleeping bags and all our toiletries at our house, though, so I think the reason we did better is that we forgot everything before we got there. We relaxed and had fun, but I was glad to get back home to my toothbrush on Friday night.

While we were there, the kids watched Lady and the Tramp, which has a "scary" part with a rat in it. After the movie as our kids were playing and acting out the story, we had the hardest time trying to understand what the girls were talking about. We finally realized that they were saying "rat", but it sounded just the like the way they say the words "red" and "wet". So when we got Ellie and Erin to say, "The red, wet rat," it sounded like they were saying the same word three times in a row. It was funny, but maybe you had to be there.

I totally get that red wet rat thing. Too funny. And yes, we can never leave to go anywhere without going back for something. Twice. It is really nice if we havent left the cul-de-sac yet. For some reason I cannot press the apostrophe key here so I cannot write contractions. I am on Edward s lappy :)

Its nice to know were not the only ones who have the forgetfulness problem. :)

Oh yes, and we also had a thing once about retchy stretchies and stretchy betchies... balloons that popped.
