random thoughts

Last week, Ed called the exterminator. I had at least twenty bees in my laundry room, and enough was enough. The exterminator showed me a queen bee, and said there were usually a few queens in a nest.

The next day, I found a queen bee in the laundry room, trying to escape. I squished her in a paper towel, and said regretfully, “One queen bee to another–I’m just protecting my hive!” (I really didn’t say that out loud. That would be a little crazy.) (If I admitted I said it out loud, would you really think I was crazy? Because I didn’t, honest!)

Our favorite Mac ‘n Cheese is NOT Kraft. The girls love President’s Choice White Cheddar–it’s the bee’s knees! So when I couldn’t find it at the grocery store during the last couple of shopping trips, I had Ed look into it. Here’s the response he got:

Thank you for contacting us regarding the availability of the President’s Choice Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. This label will no longer be available in our Jewel Stores, it will only be available in Canada. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Ahem, Keely? I have this favor to ask you….

In the event that Keely doesn’t come through with PC Mac ‘n Cheese for me my daughters, do you have a brand of mac ‘n cheese that you prefer? Those Kraft noodles are just too limp and mushy for my the girls’ taste.

Bees and Mac ‘n Cheese. That’s all I’ve got for today! If that’s not random enough for you, go see the Queen of Random, Keely at The Un-Mom.

Have a great Tuesday!

When Mom’s Away, The Fairies Will Play

Emmy, Lily

Technically, I wasn’t away, but I was in the kitchen making dinner. Normally, when I’m making dinner, the girls are demanding my attention the entire time. Yesterday, they were being VERY QUIET. I was wondering if I should check on them to make sure they weren’t getting into trouble. I thought I would find a whole tube of toothpaste smeared all over the toilet, or an entire new mural on the bedroom wall. Against my better judgment, I stayed put and finished dinner. When I called them down, this is what they looked like:

They were playing “fairies.” What a pleasant surprise! If only they could play together every day like that; I would be one happy mama! After dinner, they wanted me to make them wings, and I tried using paper bags to make wings that they could color. They didn’t look very fairy-like, but the girls didn’t seem to care. They flew around the house in their brown paper wings quite happily. And these fairy wings are green–they can go into the recycling when the girls are done playing with them! (Which will be very soon…shhh!)
