Laughter Fills the Air! ( AND Look What CVS Gave Us)

Reed woke up and was ready to go this morning. Problem is, there was nowhere to go and gas is just too expensive to be wasting on needless trips. By the time that I got home today the gas stations were all at $4.25 a gallon.



Many of the gas stations were out of gas. Abbey has to meet her mom this week between our houses, so I went ahead and filled up her tank. She had half a tank and it was still $50.00!



When I got home, Reed and Abbey were outside playing in the backyard. Reed was laughing and playing. Abbey went in to work on supper while Reed and I headed to CVS and Kroger to get a few items.



A few days ago I called CVS corporate to ask about the "Arnicare Gel" that was advertised in the monthly circular, but it was not ever in the store. Saturday, the district manager called to tell me that she would have me 5 bottles in the store on Monday. So, Reed and I had to go pick them up.



When we got home from our errands, we had delicious enchiladas that Abbey made. Then, we had to clean up because Abbey is having a "Tastefully Simple" party here tomorrow. Reed also did his part helping unclean. He was mostly happy, although he did end up in time out twice due to bad behavior.



The first time, I put him in time out and when he got out, he didn't want to have anything to do with me. The second time it was Abbey and he preferred me afterwards.



Despite the few "tense" moments, Reed was hilarious tonight. While we were cleaning the family room, Reed thought I was chasing him and he was literally squealing with delight. At once time, he was laughing so hard he could hardly catch his breath.



We went for a walk after cleaning and the weather was absolutely beautiful! It is so nice right now!
