I love Costco.

Today was another Costco day! :) gotta love that.

I took pictures, because I sure want to memoralize my favorite place in scrapbook form:

Oh and how do I look? I lost 5 lbs in the past month. :) I'm pretty excited. Plenty more to go though, but progress is the key. Stephen is indeed eating a bowl of sourkrout (how on earth do I spell that?) in that picture. He loves it.

OH guess what they sell at Costco? The 475 watt KitchenAid stand up mixer! I'm in love! Have I mentioned to any of you that I'm after that Mixer? I gotta save my pennies!

I'm still making cakes for class and friends and having a good time. I've been really good and only had one or at most two slices of any cake I've made, I send the rest to Brian's work. They all seem happy with this plan.

We are all doing well, Stephen had a resurgance of his cold, but it seems under control.

Oh cute conversation today:

Me: What color is your shirt (we are learning colors)

S: Purple! (which as you can see in the pics is wrong)

Me: No baby it's Red, purple is a different color from Red.

S: Why mommy?

Me: um.... I don't know...

How does one answer these questions? Why IS purple, purple and red, red? Do I say, "Because purple has a bit of blue in it in additon to the red hue and that makes it purple." I mean what do you tell a 2 year old about color theory?

Later today while getting him in his bed for naptime he leaned forward and LICKED my shirt (I thought he was coming in for a hug, I don't GENERALLY let people lick me) and said, "mmmm Mommy, yummy T-Shirt". It was, of course, my turn to ask "Why?" He had no answer for me.

Oh and apparently I talk about KitchenAid mixers too much, Stephen said, "Mixer" when I visited the one at Costco today. hehe.
