conversations with trent

Today Brett & I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary!

I didn't take any photos, our real anniversary is tomorrow.

I'll ask someone to take one of us.

We went out to lunch, ran some errands & did a little shopping.

Because there was a FAntastic Deal at Costco on a Clear Play... we bought one. We have been considering it for over a year now. Now Trent can watch Transformers 2-- without the inappropriate parts. He is so excited. He came into the garage to tell me about a surprise he & chloe had for us- but I surprised him- with the clear play. He ran into the house & yelled to the other kids

"NO MORE SWEAR WORDS!!"

silly me, I didn't realize swear words were in abundance?

Later we decided that maybe there needs to be a clear play for mom's mouth?

dang

Tonight he told Brett & I that he came up with a great idea on how to make money.

He is always dying to make money- for who knows what? In fact, last night while we were watching a movie & he was on this very laptop- he applied for a job at Boeing online. That's what he tells us & he was on the site to do just that...? I wonder if we will hear back from them? I told him he needs to do good in school- that's his job. He says- he's done with all that- he already knows a lot- plus this kid Brandon somebody in his class is always bugging him- a job Now- that's the way to go!?

The money making idea:

"We could turn the upstairs into a hotel!"

I asked, "Where would the girls sleep?"

He replied, "Oh they can still sleep in their rooms, they just have to pay us."

Just before bed- I said, "do you really want a bunch of weirdos staying in our house?"

"Not weirdos mom, just family- we can charge them money!"

so- if any family wants to pay to stay in trent's room

call & make a reservation today!

NOTE: These photos are from last weekend

when it was sunny

unlike this whole past week...

I NEED SOME SUN

so bad.

I have been really good to not complain, but

(notice no swear words?)

I could never move back to Seattle. This gloomy weather is killing me.

P.s. the surprise trent & chloe had waiting for us?

everyone picked up the house & chloe made banana cake- we had a banana cake with whipped cream frosting from a Swedish bakery in Seattle at our wedding reception. What a bunch of sweeties
