Audrey watching a show about hurricanes. She looks at me and says "Mom 15 million people lost their homes, million mom million. Oh if only spongebob were real he could suck up all that water then they could have a house again. Where are those people going to live....they need a house so they have power. What's going to happen?" Lots of questions"
"Yesterday was a sad day in the Strout house. Audrey had to lay her "cowgirl" boots to rest. She literally wore them out. She said goodbye to them several times before going in the trash. Driving to school with new shoes on her feet says in a very melancholy voice..."boy things sure are different and won't be the same again." I said " what are you talking about" She said " those boots were awesome and I rocked every outfit with them." I said "we can buy you new ones for Kindergarten if you want?" Her response. "Woohoo I will rule in Kindergarten." No doubt in my mind.
Yesterday after Audrey got home from school she asked for chocolate milk. After her first sip she complained that it didn't taste good. (Milk generally doesn't have a chance to go bad in our home as we go through about 4 gallons a week). She mentioned it several times. FInally I asked what it tasted like. She said "Mom it tastes like crap with tomato, chocolate and milk
At Christmas Audrey received a $20 bill from one of her Great Grandmothers. Just the other day she received $2 additional dollars from her Great Aunt Karen Lothrop. Yesterday for a brief second Aaron Strout and I were discussing what it would take to put a pool in our backyard. Audrey quickly offered her $22 towards the $30,000 or so thousand it would take. Today while taking her to school she says "Mom do you still have my money to pay for the pool?" I said "Yes." She says "great I can't wait till school is over today so I can go swimming." Not sure how to break it to her.
