YooHoo...a Perfect End to a Good Day

My kids love drinking YooHoo. I really don't understand why. To me, that is the nastiest chocolate liquid I have ever tasted! But for some reason, while out grocery shopping tonight, I picked them up some YooHoo, making that a highlight of their day. It's the simple things in life that keep us happy.

Right now, they are chilling out and drinking YooHoo after a long, busy day. My husband and I are both on the computer, and amazingly enough, our 2 dogs are currently "sharing" bones. Our timid dog, Sammy, is waiting for our monster dog, Scooby, to get the rawhide bones soft. Then when Scooby is not looking, he steals the bone from him, leaving Scooby to find another one. It's really quite a genius plan of Sammy's.

Today started off with a soccer game and a football game. The soccer game found us with a tied score of 1 to 1. However, it was a special game because my daughter scored the goal for her team! This is her second year of soccer, but it's her first "game goal" scored. She was simply ecstatic. That was grounds for going to McDonald's for celebration! On the way home, my older daughter asked me, "What's the difference between a gator and an alligator?" She's too funny!!!

My son's football game didn't go as well. They basically got killed by the other team. He was so hoping to win...

While waiting for everyone to get showered and ready after the games, my "T-Rex" (aka Scooby) decided it would be a great day to get his paw caught in the screen on the window. Yep. In an attempt to kill a bug, he thought it would be best to smack it with his paw....not realizing that the screen was there. Poor thing got caught up in the screen, so now we have a nice little hole in it. What makes it even MORE interesting is that my hubby just made and installed those same screen LAST weekend! Great timing, Scooby...

After we dismantled Scooby from our window screen, we went to Bloomington to go to dinner and spend some time shopping. My husband suggested Subway for dinner...which is a clear indication that he's in the Biggest Loser competition at church now. He normally despises Subway! But with him in the lead at over 19 pounds lost, he's kicking it in high gear!

Shopping was fun as usual...found some great deals on a "50% off all clearance prices" sale. But we didn't anticipate the downpour of rain that hit us leaving the mall! So after spending way too much money, buying a boatload of much needed groceries, and spending wonderful quality time with our wonderful children...we are finally home drying off.

It's been a great day...that's for sure! Memories that will last a lifetime. I am hearing the hysterical laughter of my son in the other room, which means I had better log off and watch "America's Funniest Home Videos" with him!!!
