If you HAVE TO visit Costco, this is the way to do it...

Poor Spencer - We tickled him all morning, and goofed with him, and he ran around after the dog and we went to visit the new house etc and I guess we wore him out, because on the way to Costco: CRASH!!!! He was out and we knew he was in one of those moods where he is just NOT going to get up. The only thing do do at times like this is, put down Bill's coat, and throw him in a cart. You have to put the groceries in a separate cart. He slept on the way there, on the way in, alll through the store, on the way back out, and all the way home. He crashed in his bed and he is still as asleep now. What this means for us is, he is going to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow am. Usually in fact when this happens, he comes into our room at about 5 AM and starts jumping on both of us until one of us wakes up.

My brother just had his first baby Friday night... a girl they named AnaMaria. He was gushing into the phone about how she is so sweet and precious and beautiful and of course they are. I wanted so much to tell him to just wait until she is 3 and refuses to wear clothes, throws her socks out of the car window or puts your ipod in the freezer.... THEN call me and tell me how much fun you are having..... but I couldn't. He will find out soon enough.
