The shoes, the fish and the car

Well we have had a couple of interesting days here. I ran to the store late the other night, (keep in mind that generally my brain shuts down about 9:00 pm and does not boot up until 10 the next morning). Anyways I grabbed my purse and shoes and ran out the door, (since sometimes TK wakes up at 9:30 I was trying to get back asap), moved the work truck, got into my car and drove to the store. On the way into the store I realized that my shoes felt kinda different so I looked down and sure enough I had on one of my brown sandals and one of Mark's black sandals. Bad enough they didn't even match, but they weren't even both mine!!

Mark called me yesterday and asked me what I thought about getting some fish... his work buddy is moving away and wanted to get rid of his, rather than move them. Well finally I said ok we could try it. So later that evening we went over to his house to pick up these fish ~ which came with more fish stuff than you can imagine! Well we got everything out there and then Mark and his buddy decided to move the tank (they had taken a couple of gallons out already... thankfully!!) Oh, and this is only a 10 gallon tank. So they get it up the stairs and out the door and set it in the back of our NEW car to scoot it into the trunk and suddenly the waterfall starts!! Next thing you know there are fish just flopping on the driveway... which freaked AJ out and just kept saying, "put it back together... put the fish back in their house." So there was fishy tank water all over the car not to mention glass... no one is quite sure what happened, even though everyone was watching. I told Mark, "Well this is why we don't own our cars we just lease them." Hopefully the rain will stop soon so I can get out there and try to get rid of some of that fish smell!! Well this guy's house was totally packed up, by movers, so he couldn't get to anything. He did have a broom in the garage we used to sweep up the stones and glass. So he got the gallons of water they had taken out earier and one of the fish fit in no problem, well the other big fish wasn't such a good fit! After finding some sort of cutting device and cutting the bottle opening he finally fit in. (He is currently missing a few scales on his back!!) Thankfully our neighbors had a tank that they weren't using that we got to put them in and I'm proud to say they are doing quite well I believe!

We asked AJ what he wanted to call them last night... I wasn't sure what kind of answer to except. He said, "Well that one is kind of funny and that one is kind of sticky." Mark asked him later on and he changed which one was Funny and which one was Sticky, but the names were the same. Well we thought by morning it would change, but he still calls them Funny and Sticky. I have no idea where these names came from.

PS ~ As an update on the imaginary friends, Bob has not reappeared, but the Baby Alien still shows up and the last three days "MMMM" has been around. MMMM actually just ate lunch and read books with us before nap time.
