It's a Holiday!

Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone! We pretty much spent today at home relaxing and watching T.V.. Kaleb forgot his snow pants at school last Friday so playing outside wasn't an option today. I did go shovel snow for an hour. (We had gotten 10 inches of snow the day before.) Dante and I ran to the store in the afternoon to get Alfredo to go with our supper. He did a really good job in the store. It's the first time I've taken him to a store that I haven't put him in a cart. He only took off twice and he didn't go far.

In the snack isle I asked him to pick out fruit snacks for after supper. His first choice was "Strawberry Short Cake", he said she was cute. When I refused he chose "My Little Pony". Again I suggested he pick boy fruit snacks and with much glee he grabbed a box of "Dora the Explorer" and started jumping up and down laughing. We ended up getting "Operation" ones. (Like this kids game)

In the check out line he helped me take all the items out of the cart then struck up a conversation with the cashier. She was young, maybe 19 or 20. Dante said hello than told her she was "a good girl". She laughed and said thank you. He then asked her name. "Tonya" she said. "OH, I LOVE YOU TONYA!" he exclaimed as only Dante can. I've never seen anyone blush so much. She kept smiling and said good bye to him as we left. Of course he made a point to ask every person he walked past their name.....all the way to the car.

While we ate supper we watched "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull". I liked it. Kaleb saw it in the theater when it came out but I hadn't seen it yet. Dante didn't like it very much. He said it was scary. That was pretty much our holiday.
