"It's my money and I want it NOW!"

"It's my money and I want it NOW!"

I could hear Cameron yelling this and getting the boys to yell along with her. She kept saying it over and over and in different voices. That girl doesn't have a dime to her name, nor does she understand the concept of money, so I was baffled about what the heck she was talking about.... Until the JD Wentworth commercial came on TV. Apparently if you have been injured in a car accident and you're getting monthly payments, JD Wentworth can help you get a lump sum settlement. Why are they advertising this on Nickelodeon? Why has Cam decided this is her new catch phrase? Oh the mysteries of my life....

We're back from our fun in the sun. Back to so much snow I can't leave my house and the decision that it's time to buy a 4WD car for me. Anyone who would like to make cash contributions to make my dreams of driving around in the snow come true, please feel free. I'm in a complaining mood right now. I'm sick of snow. I'm sick of the minivan. I've been home from vacation 24 hours and I already have cabin fever! (Starting to wish that I'd been injured in a car accident and was receiving monthly payments....)

Isn't Adam about the cutest thing you've ever seen in your whole life?? Even with constant bumps and bruises on his noggin he's pretty darn cute.

Back to the main reason for this blog entry. The rest of our trip. After two days at Disneyland we headed south to San Diego to stay at Brett and Melissa's house again. On Thursday we went to Sea World. Our kids love it there. It's not quite as exciting as Disneyland, but fun still. We were sitting, waiting for the dolphin show to start when a Sea World employee approached us and asked if Cameron would like to be part of the show! How cool is that?? So she and I went back stage and put on giant galoshes and got front row seating for an amazing experience. I even got a pretend husband for 20 minutes. They do a little thing where our "dad" falls in the water at the end and a few dolphins had to rescue him. Our part was less scary than falling into dolphin and killer whale infested waters. I got to feed a dolphin and Cameron got to feed a killer whale! It really was awesome!

Yea, that's us with our pretend dad. I think I'll keep the one I already have.

What an amazing experience for us! And I just have to mention that I went to buy a $6 bucket of popcorn and they just gave it to me for free! Take that bunco girls - I won something! It was a really fun day.

Then we went to the beach a couple of times and spend lots of time at the park. It felt so good to be outside and feel the sunshine again. I am a seasonally depressed person. I hate the cold and the dark, so it's all in the name of therapy, right?

One last thing - can anyone give me some good book recommendations? I have book club tomorrow night and I have to bring a list of some books that we should read in the coming year. Please give me some ideas!!
