This weekend we decided to keep things relatively low-key. The girls have had it with long drives (I'm not keen on it either). So Friday I got home from work a little earlier, and grabbed Kindra and the girls. We went of to a small restaurant that only serves from a window. Behind the restaurant there is an area to sit right on the water. It was good (greasy) food and a lot of fun. It was nice just to relax as a family. Saturday we took a trip to Stew Leonards. It is a giant grocery store with its own dairy, fresh baked bread products, butchers, fresh meat, cheese, and fruits, their own sushi chefs, lots of free
samples, animals that sing and dance (imagine Chuck E Cheese), restaurant, ice cream area, petting zoo, etc., etc. I have heard it called the Disneyland of grocery stores. That made me cringe. I don't like grocery stores, and I am not a big fan of Disneyland. But somehow combine them, and you have yourself a fun-filled family adventure. It was a lot of fun and a nice time.Ariana is definitely growing up. Her vocabulary is at about five words, and she is crawling all over the place. She is becoming pretty opinionated (that makes four of us). Kierra and her have had their first fights. The first one happened in the stroller. Ariana scratched Kierra, so Kierra said, "Ariana, please don't do that." So, Ariana scratched her agian. Kierra replied with, "ARIANA, please don't do that." So, Ariana scratched Kierra again. Kierra blurted, "ARIANA, STOP SCRATCHING ME!!!" So, Ariana scratched Kierra again. This time Kierra resorted to a little arm squeeze, and we had to intervene. There have been more, and I am sure there will be many more. However, the girls really do enjoy playing together most of the time. When Ariana wakes up from her nap, Kierra greets her with a, "Well, hello Miss Ariana Susa." You would never see a happier 10 month old than when Ariana hears that from her big sis. It makes the cat fights all worth it.
KIERRA QUOTES
Kierra: Dad, I think we should go to the store and get some C-R-M-C-L's.
Dad: What does that spell?
Kierra: Doughnuts!
Kierra: What time does the library close?
Librarian: We close in a few minutes. It is time to pack up.

Nursery Leader: Oh, so you know where you come from?!

I can't handle the Kierra quotes, they are hilarious. Tell Kierra that Gracie sleeps with her pictures and asks every morning if we are going on an airplane to see "Tia" today.

Bonny
Good stories! I want to go to Disneyland/grocery store? PS- what kind of dad doesn't like Disneyland? BOOOO! Kierra is so funny, I especially liked the little arm squeeze- it sums her gentle aggressive side ;)!
Should I feel insulted you don't like Disneyland? Just a hypothetical question for sure.
I love the Arriana fight story.
ps. Don't let Kelli & Mike embarrass you too much in front of the Becks. You might want to feign ill that day!
Kindra!!
I'm so glad I came across your blog! How are you? You have two children?! They are adorable, and your family/blog is so cute.
So, How much longer are you in Connecticut? School starts in a couple of weeks--will we see you soon?
