34 gallons for $85

We filled up the suburban today (something we haven't done in a loooong time). Gas at Sam's Club was $2.22/gal. Tony & I felt like we were stealing!

While I waited in the car with the girls, Rebecca kept saying, "Kite. Kite. Kite" I could not for the life of me see any kites - today was a very dreary, rainy, dark day (my favorite kind of day) and anyone flying a kite would be an idiot in my book. But Rebecca's chant continued until it dawned on me where she thought she saw a kite: the Sam's Club sign....

The logo looks like a kite. Mary-Gail started to chime in too once I pointed out the sign to her, and then they both shocked me. Are you ready for this? They said, "Blue." Oh my gosh - where is my voice recorder??? I remarked, "That's right. The color is Blue." Rebecca continued, "S. Right there. S," as she pointed to the sign. I encouraged her and Mary-Gail, "What other letters do you see?" So cute how Mary-Gail responded," D E G H." OK, very cute. Mary-Gail thought I was referring to the letter "C." So I clarified, "Are there any other letters on the kite?" Rebecca said, "M." Holy cow!

I love pointing things out to the girls. Each day, each activity, each drive I try to engage them in their surroundings and have them tell me what they see. Now they are pointing things out to me!
