K. We are back in FC and we are slightly overwhelmed with everything we have to do. I have some photos/stories from our road trip back, but I first need to write this one down before I forget it!
We are back to being a cable TV free household, but we do have Qubo. Qubo is the over the air, free kids channel.... which comes equipped with mini infomercials in place of commercials. Every time Elijah sees one of these things, he is SURE that he needs it, or that I need it. This morning, the boys were downstairs watching some Qubo and playing with Daddy while I was cleaning up the kitchen.
Elijah comes running up the stairs. He says with excitement in his voice "Mommy, do you want to spend more time with your kids? You need to get *I-have-no-idea-what-the-product-name-is, but insert it here* because then you don't even have to mop the floor! It just does it all by itself!"
ME: "Awesome. You need to go tell Daddy that I need that for Christmas."
Elijah (running down the stairs): "Daddy, you need to buy that with your own money for Mommy for Christmas"
When Marty came upstairs a few minutes later I relayed the conversation to him. Elijah is so easily convinced by these things - Marty said that is basically the exact sales pitch the infomercial had just given him over the TV. Thus far in our few hours home, Elijah is sure that I need the mop-the-floor-itself gadget (which does sound nice) and a metal wallet that won't even be damaged if I drive over it with a truck.
ah oh, someone is easily persuaded! that mop does sound nice. will it mop the floor while nobody is home and then dry before we arrive?
