What are your plans for today?

Mine are pretty simple. I have been doing laundry this morning and getting my shopping list ready for Walgreens. I need to go and get a few things before the Rebate cut-off date.
I am also taking Livvy and going to lunch with Jakie today @ school. He has been so excited for this for over a week! It all started when the week before last week he wanted to buy his lunch at school. But I wanted to make sure that he knew how to do it and I couldn't go with him that particular day to walk him through it. Yes, I know - overprotective. But I just have this fear that my kids won't get their food! :) Maybe it's some deep rooted concern of my own! :) Besides they only get 2.2 seconds to eat their food so they have to hurry.
Anywhooo, I told him that after Fall Break I'd go to lunch with him and he can buy his lunch. He chose to do it on Chicken Nugget Day. He is so excited and has been counting down. He even told his teacher about it! :)
I had to laugh because he has been having "tummy aches" at school - AKA "missmymommy aches" - the past few days. I'm friends with the nurse and was talking to her about it yesterday. I mentioned that she would definetly NOT see Jake today. He is having Mommy come for Chicken Nugget Lunch! :)

On another cute note, Livvy sure is dang funny! When we take the kids to school in the morning, we listen to Classical music. (Mom, I'm so AMAZING now!) I swear it calms the kids down and me too. Plus, I've learned that if you blare it real loud just before you pull up to drop the kids, the teachers out front and all the other parents dropping their kids off think you are one of those moms! The kind that plays classical music, your kids are super smart, and your life is at such a higher level than the others. Wait, that IS me!!! ROFL!!
Ok, back to the point - on the way home from dropping the big kids off, Livvy says to me, "This is the happy song!" And she danced her arms around to the "happy" music. Then she verbally discusses the "happy" song to Robin and Sonic. I guess they like happy songs too.

Now this gets me thinking - you all probably think that I don't think my other kids are very cute. :) They actually aren't - not in the way Livvy is. But then again, they are 9, 8, and 6. You tend to lose the cute factor at about 5. BUT (there's always a big butt) they have their own amazing traits! When they were Livvy's age, they were just as cute as she is. Only back then I didn't have a blog to discuss their cuteness. Although I DID have a journal that I made for each of them where I wrote down cute, funny things that they did. Or sweet moments in their lives.
So, Livvy is cute! But so was Elizabeth, Elijah, and Jake! And they are all Amazingly, Wonderfully, Glorious "Little" (snicker) kids! And they always will be - "Little" that is (big snicker) - no, seriously; amazingly, wonderfully, glorious.

On a side note, how many of you had the image in your head of me and the 4 freaks in our gray, beat up minivan (oh and we have a vinyl sticker on the back with our family in stick figures - even Dozer which is larger than all of us - seriously, we do). And our Classical music blaring and our hydrolic lift system hooked up so that the van is bouncing up and down. We put those teenage kids (I had to edit myself here - my blog IS public after all) to shame with our getto set up! :)
